There is the unstable wards issue as well as the fact that in the past low level gear was kind of pointless as you outgrew it in a flash and you could just wear high level gear instead, so most people didn't make any. It also isn't as profitable because low level people can't afford to pay much for it, so you'd have to sell with very high volume, which is a pain in the ass to make happen with the market wards.

It's probably easiest to look up some very low level recipes as you can make them almost immediately at L1 crafter and the materials should be very cheap.

It's not easy starting out in 1.19, though. Things will have to improve for sure.
