Catalyst

This page is about the currency. For the divination card, see The Catalyst.

Catalysts are currency items that add quality to jewellery. Quality on jewellery instead improves the effect of the implicit and explicit modifiers of the specified type and increases the chances of gaining those types of affixes from crafting.

Catalysts are acquired by defeating metamorphs in maps with organ parts that specify that they drop catalysts.

Using a different type of catalyst on an item that has quality will set the previous quality back.
