Relic Weapons

Previously you had mentioned that 2.45 will introduce the final phase of the relic quest, and it looks like this results in the relic only being i125. If you compare the amount of work of that went into obtaining this item, this seems lower than it should be, especially considering that i130 Augmented Ironworks weapons can be gotten comparatively easily. What was the thought process behind making the relic a lower item level than Augment Ironworks weapons and are there any future plans for increasing the item level of the relic weapons?
