Large cluster Jewel item level crafting question

Hello guys. I want to craft a large cluster jewel for my assasin rather than bying it from trade (too expensive). In all the crafting guides I have seen in youtube (Zizaran and budger among others) people say that you should use ilevel 75 and above to craft your large cluster jewels otherwise it wont have the 2 jewel sockets AND the max prefixes and suffixes. I have found in the trade both an ilevel 61 and a 79 that have the abilities i want (8 passive skills, 2 jewel sockets, Battle-hardened, Force multiplier, exploit weaknes). I see i cant attach a screenshot here so i am putting a link to Imgur

Is it safe to say that i can craft this jewel from any normal large cluster jewerl that adds 8 passive skills?

is there a minimum ilevel requrirement that i am not aware of?

why are people insisting on ilevel 75? Has there been some patch change i am not aware of?

Thank you so much

It was changed and you can't reroll the number of sockets on cluster jewels as well as number of passives it has. It is now a part of jewel enchantment (light blue text on top). Item level depends on what passives you want - some require item level 1, some need 75. You can check that and a lot more here
Nubatack thank you for your reply.

I did not know that you can not change the light blue text on top for the jewel.

So basically i need to find a base jewel that already has :

Adds 8 Passive Skills
2 Added Passive Skills are Jewel Sockets
Added Small Passive Skills grant: 12% increased Physical Damage


And then try to craft

Force multiplier (suffix - lvl 50)
Battle hardened (prefix - lvl 50)
Exploit weakness (prefix - lvl 50) on it?

According to craft of exile ideal ilevel would be from 50 - 67 in order to minimize material costs?
