Enhancement Catalysts

Other than the Super Pack, do these now drop from regular content? Or Incarnate Trials?

Thanks for your answer.

The wiki's talking about beta, though. Has anyone obtained a catalyst from Incarnate content on live, or is that an i22 feature?

Nice, that's good info to know.

All the more indication I22 isn't far off.

Ok, I have just a couple of questions about these Enhancement Catalyst thingy jiggys.

1. Do they drop just during Incarnate Trials once I 22 goes live, or can I just beat up things at a certain level and up to get them to drop once I 22 goes live?

2. The only way to get them right now, is through buying the Super Packs, right?

3. Would making a whole set of say Dominion of Arachnos, Superior be beneficial or not?

Drops are already on. Or the one I got during a Keyes last night was a bug.

Yeah I haven't gotten one as a drop yet but I've seen a couple of people report that they got them during several BAF/Keyes runs I've made in the last few days. Apparently they went "live" on Tuesday along with the Super Packs.

They might just be limited to iTrial drops at the moment. I suspect we'll see them in the new I22 Dark Astoria as well.

Yeah, one of the rednames confirmed they are currently dropping in iTrials. As of Issue 22, they will drop under additional conditions, but I've seen two conflicting descriptions (neither from a redname).

Really Important Question Here: Scenerio. Build has 5 purple sets already slotted in it for the 10% recharge bonuses. If I upgrade an entire set of Dominion of Arachnos to all Superior, will I be able to get the 10% bonus recharge that the Dominion of Arachnos set will give or does the "Rule of 5" still apply and the set bonus from upgrading the entire set to Superior will be null and void and not count? I'm assuming that the annoying "Rule of 5" applies to the AT enhancements as well or am I wrong? Someone please clarify this.

The rule of 5 is determined by the name of the set bonus. Since the 10% rchg ATO bonus and the 10% rchg bonus from purples has the same name (Superior Recharge Bonus) you can only have 5 total of them (ie 5 purple sets with +rchg OR 4 purples with +rchg and 1 very rare ATO set with +rchg).

If the set bonus has a different name then you can go beyond 5. A good example of this is the luck of the gambler +7.5% rchg. Since it has a specific name of it's own you can have 5 lotg +7.5% rchg, and an additional 5 7.5% rchg from other set bonuses.

Ok, I thought so. Also, will the +1 enhancement boosters work on the ATO sets? I know that I was able to use them on most of my purple sets in my build, not for the enhancements like for example in Gravitational Anchor the Chance for Hold wouldn't allow me to use the boosters on it. I'm thinking that you can on the first 5 in the set, however for the 6th enhancement in the set, you can't, or am I wrong? I have no idea. From what I was reading, it seems people are recommending 5 normal slots with the 6th slot being the superior. Just need a little help understanding the +1 enhancement boosters in regards to if they work on ATOs or not.

Enhancement boosters only work on IOs.

They do not work on SBEs or ATOs, both of which are also attuned.

They don't not work with your current set ATO bonuses, as once you use a Catalyst on an enhancement it changes its values and set bonuses, thus no longer being part of the former set. Catalyst sets become even more unique, with no tie to the previous.

Edit: Meaning, if you want to upgrade to EC ATOs it's best to wait until you have enough salvage for all your enhancements.

Opps, wrong thread
