GetItemInfo and GetDetailedItemLevelInfo returns weird iLvl values

[doofus]

I have been using GetItemInfo() to get an item's ilvl. However recently (in BfA I presume) I get weird values.

So for example I have a ring which says ilvl = 252 on the tooltip. GetItemInfo() returns ilvl=300. GetDetailedItemLevelInfo() returns effectiveiLvl = 273 and baseILvl = 300.

This is weird and confusing. Can anyone shine some light on this please?

What item is it?

What are you passing to those functions? Item string? Item id? Item link?

This is happening with multiple items below iLvl=310 which you get from normal dungeons at level 120. But there are also players who are < 120 and the game adjusts their loot to be lower iLvl or there are greens, BoE, showing level 120, iLvl=266 (tooltip), but base ilvl = 280, and ilvl=280 (from GetItemInfo()). So it seems it is kind of f*cked.

Ah, I am passing itemLink from
local infoType, itemID, itemLink = GetCursorInfo()
