Practical notes
Catalysts add quality to rings and amulets that boosts a specific modifier, so apply the catalyst that matches your item’s best affix. Stack the same catalyst to raise that modifier further, but stop when the affix is capped.
Use them on gear you will keep, because the quality is permanent. Pair the right catalyst with the right base to squeeze real value. A well-catalyzed ring or amulet can rival a rare upgrade.
Stack the same catalyst to raise the chosen modifier, and stop when that affix is capped so you do not waste catalysts on a finished item.
Stack the same catalyst to raise the chosen modifier and stop when that affix is capped, so you never waste catalysts on an already finished item.
The crafting guide and currency guide show which catalyst pairs with which modifier.
