relic weps had total cap? so i don't think an item like that, would do much.

well that's the thing, crafted gear is purposely lower ilv than end-game, to make end-game stuff, desirable.
and if crafted stuff was that good...well you wouldn't be able to afford it, so the only way to get it, is if you capped out a crafter, yourself...cause you know, greed.
crafted stuff is usually a bit of a nerfed alternative, to tome gear - occasionally it has better stats, so people prefer it over tome gear. so....i'd guess they might add ilv 180-190 crafted stuff, when they uncap alexander NM.
mostly it's just vanity stuff, that sell for loads of gil...cause apparently people will spend any kind of gil, for vanity stuff.
