Orb of Alchemy didn't give four modifiers?

I used an Orb of Alchemy on a Warden Bow, and I expected it to give 4 modifiers. But it seems like I only got 3, unless the implicit counts... which wouldn not be my intuition in this situation.

The implicit is irrelevant.

A magic item has one or two modifiers; a rare has three or more. The Orb of Alchemy made your item a rare item, it just didn’t necessarily make it a good one. You can always use an Exalted Orb to grant rare equipment additional modifiers. Not sure that bow’s the best candidate for that, mind.
Imagine the lack of introspection that would be required to spend your spare time telling people they’ve posted in the wrong section of some company's forum, only to then try accusing someone else of brown-nosing.
That would be swell if the description of the orb of alchemy wasn't "Upgrades a normal item to a rare item with 4 modifiers"

Oh, this is about PoE 2 - Steam hadn’t let me load the screenshot earlier, but it works now.

I guess GGG will likely move this thread out of Help and Information to one of the PoE 2-focused sections of the forum. I’d be interested in seeing a screenshot with the Inspect / alt view.

Yeah I don't know why they moved it to POE, I had originally posted it in POE 2 EA, and for some reason they moved it here.

Unfortunately I'm having trouble taking a screenshot while in "alt" view. However i did notice that one of the modifiers split into two when I did that.
