The IGT has the wrong affix distribution for
rare items in v1.10 (and subsequent versions); it is skewed towards 3 affixes being the least common and 5 affixes being the most common:
3 affixes: 1/8 (12.5%) [0P3S, 1P2S, 2P1S, 3P0S]
4 affixes: 2/8 (25.0%) [1P3S, 2P2S, 3P1S]
5 affixes: 3/8 (37.5%) [2P3S, 3P2S]
6 affixes: 2/8 (25.0%) [3P3S]
See Atair's D2Wissen (German only):
http://d2wissen.d2chars.de/ (which is a fantastic resource for v1.09 and v1.10).
Possible affix configurations listed in [ ] above.
Jewel is capped at a maximum of 4 affixes since v1.09 (as mentioned in the patch notes).
I do not recall what the distribution was
before v1.10, so it might have been even (25% chance each).
Very-much-a-lot of item generation related stuff changed in that patch.

In some cases the
magic properties of
two affixes combine into a
single line display. See
https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Minimum_Damage (below the
Hurlbat of Transcendence image).
I presume that is how the '2' on the Arreat Summit website came about.
Yes, when a
rare item is to be generated the number of affixes is diced first (using the distribution in
#3 for v1.10 and later versions) and then the individual affixes (prefix: P, suffix: S).
Yes, while #P < 3
and #S < 3 each pick is a 50/50 toss between prefix (P) and suffix (S). Once #P = 3
or #S = 3, the remaining picks (if any) are automatically all S or all P, respectively.
To complicate matters even further, all affixes must be from different groups (the affix picker cannot select the same P/S group twice), and each affix within each group has its own weight (frequency).
Calculating chances for affix combinations on
rare items is thus
very complex. There is however an affix calculator for v1.09 and later versions (for instance google: ''Affixes for LoD-Items Patch 1.11'').
Thanks for chiming in with another cool old school info bit. <3
You my man can come up with a lot of info and your math skills are impeccable.
Wether anything he says is right or not, I believe him
