Relics of the Past - profession made gear - item level issue since Dragon Flight pre-patch

I’ve seen several posts about item level issues with item levels of dropped/rewarded gear.
But there is also an issue with creating gear for low level / levelling alts.
The relics of the past you can use on created items does not scale properly in my opinion.

I can only speak for what I’ve seen personally with my own toon that has Leatherworking profession.

If I create a legion expansion piece of gear and use a relic of the past on it to create it for let’s say level 41, then the ilvl is way too low. It still uses the old ilvls before the dragon flight pre-patch.
If I go to the AH and look for items a lvl 41 character can wear, the ilvls are way higher and thus better stats on them.

Does anyone know more about the issue or has the same experience with profession crafted gear for levelling alts ?

Feel free to comment if you have something to contribute or have a better explanation, etc.

Thank you.

Basically, only half of the game’s gear (if not less) has been updated. This includes all crafted gear…
The post linked below goes into detail about most of those things that we have discovered so far.

Thank you Goru. You’ve made a very thorough post! Better than I could explain. thanks for pointing this out! much appreciated.
If anyone like to have a more thorough and in depth explanation I would recommend reading Goru’s thread about item level issues.
