I recently got Reaper of Souls, yes I know I'm late. I've been levelling up my characters to level 70 and I've been looking around for gear and gearing tips, and I've found that some of the legendary set items that I've already found the plans for (Aughild's, Captain Crimsons etc) are pretty good to start off with for a Demon Hunter which is my most recent levelling character.
I found these plans at a low level, and I tried to craft one of the items on my level 70 Wizard and it came up with lower stats and a level requirement of 42, which is when I found them and taught them to Haedrig, I also tried to enchant and I won't be able to get anything useful, is this a problem, is there anything I can do to increase the potency of this gear? if it's the best gear to start off with at level 70 then I'd like to be able to start off with it, but if I can't craft it to a good enough standard, then I won't be able to use it.
Sorry if this may seem a little hard to understand, I'm a little flustered and confused, and I will try and re write it or re word it if the meaning isn't understood. Basically is there a way I can raise the level requirement and the stats on set items I may need to start my level 70 journey?

I think the problem you are encountering is that there are two versions of most crafted sets. For example, there is Aughild's Victory which requires level 42 and there is Aughild's Authority which requires level 70. Since you have the plans for Aughild's Victory, you will only be able to craft the level 42 version unfortunately.
When Reaper of Souls was released, Blizzard updated a lot of the legendary and set gear that previously existed for level 60 characters to be for level 70 characters. They did this by leaving the old items in the game (since there might be characters using it already) and making new items that require level 70.
What you most likely read about are the level 70 versions of these crafted sets. They are indeed very good for a level 70 character that is just starting out. These plans can drop off of any mob in the game, so there isn't a good spot to farm them (other than to just keep playing the game, of course). I don't know if this is documented anywhere or not, but I have found that the treasure goblin that drops crafting materials also tends to drop crafting plans - these have been legendary or set plans in my experience (until you have learned them all).
