PTR is our zero-cost chance to learn about affixes.
Anything you do there is free since you can't transfer anything back. What I'm wanting is pretty simple. If you're willing, please do the following:
Craft as many of something as possible (rare-quality only please)
-- preferably the same thing that someone else is crafting. Post your intention here and let's collaborate
-- less affixes is better because it will be more clear (4-prop is best)
Take a screenshot of every item you craft and put all of its stats into a big excel sheet.
Link the sheet here.
I'll be starting this tonight. I am going to start with 4-prop bracers. Bracers are unique because other armor types get the chance to roll the primary rank of at least 1 primary stat (belts can roll primary strength, pants can roll primary vit, etc). I'm going to stick with Bracers for now so that the whole primary vs secondary thing doesn't muddy the water, but we will probably want some datapoints on things that DO get a primary primary (sorry, they share the same name) so we can see how that affects it.
I will aggregate all the data and see what conclusions can be drawn.
I recommend keeping all the screenshots and typing the stats in later because it makes it easier to log them and if there is a a suspicious entry later we can go back and confirm (which means it will be very useful to write down which screenshot it is as you log that item).
Any questions?
I think I have enough mats for ~600 bracers, so I'll be doing that first. And then disenchanting them and doing what I can with the remainder. Will anyone else do the same with me?
hm ok, just did some crafting (~350 4-prop bracers) and now i'm filling out this spreadsheet..is there any other (quicker) way to translate the stats of the items into the sheet?
Not that I know of, unfortunately There's been some work on OCR, but I don't think it's working yet.
Thanks! I still need to aggregate what info we have. I got side tracked and haven't had a chance to do this yet. I was hoping for several thousand data points and it looks like we'll end up with just a few hundred, so the results won't be as robust as I was hoping.

Here's an example of someone who has done this previously with 6-prop belts:
