List of catalysts
|
When you create items, you can use a number of different enhancements to make the items different or special. These enhancements are called catalysts. Catalysts have varying effects, such as:
- Increasing statistics (strength, intelligence, dexterity, etc]]
- Increasing attributes (health, energy, armor class)
- Increased damage
- Increase range
- many more
Moving your mouse over a catalyst will describe its effects, what items it can be applied to and what tier its applicable to. When you begin the crafting process, you will have an opportunity to add catalysts to both the primary and secondary components as well as in the refining stage. Recipes will list in their descriptions whether they allow for the addition of catalysts. When setting up the table, you will see a catalyst listing along with the normal utilities listing, simply select the dust you wish to add.
You can use the /craftingaddsecondary macro command in the chat window to add a catalyst if you have forgotten to press the button the moment it appears. This only works as long as you are in the correct step.
Starting with Tier 3, some of these are enhancements are required..
Making Tier 1 items, you have a choice to add an Attuning Dust to the raw materials during refining. This provides the primary stats an item receives when you make it.
Making Tier 2 items, on top of using Attuning Dusts, you may also add Resonance Dust when finishing the item. You must used enhanced resources to add a Resonance Dust. This will provide the finished product with 2 stats. The primary stat from the Attuning Dust is often reduced when resonance dusts are added.
Making Tier 3 items, you can add Focusing Powders to the secondary items before you make the final product. You can no longer use dusts and require powders obtained via work order rewards or through deconstruction. All final products require enhanced raw materials(Vandal's Firegrass bolts, etc.). You can no longer make basic final products.
Tier 4 uses Attuning powders (same as t3) and Resonating/Focusing shards.
Tier 5 uses Attuning/Focusing/Resonating Crystals. [1]
