In the ever-evolving world of Path of Exile 2, character optimization is more complex and rewarding than Poe 2 Currency ever. Among the wide array of crafting currencies and enhancement items, Catalysts remain a unique and powerful way to enhance your gear. Originally introduced in Path of Exile: Metamorph, Catalysts have found renewed relevance in Path of Exile 2 as they maintain their core function while becoming even more strategically significant for late-game character development.

This guide will break down what Catalysts are, how they work, where to get them, and the best ways to use them effectively in your builds.

What Are Catalysts?
Catalysts are a special type of currency item used to improve the quality of jewelry — rings, amulets, and belts — but with a twist. Unlike armor or weapons, where quality improves defense or damage respectively, quality on jewelry enhances the stats of specific types of modifiers. The type of Catalyst used determines which modifier groups benefit from the quality increase.

Each Catalyst applies up to 20% quality, and that quality boosts the effectiveness of affixes in its associated modifier group. For example:

Abrasive Catalyst increases quality that enhances attack modifiers.

Fertile Catalyst improves life and mana modifiers.

Intrinsic Catalyst benefits attribute modifiers (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence).

Turbulent Catalyst enhances elemental damage modifiers.

This makes Catalysts not just useful for maximizing stat values, but also for planning synergistic gear around core build mechanics.

How to Get Catalysts in Path of Exile 2
Catalysts are considered mid-to-high-tier currency and are not as common as other crafting items. In Path of Exile 2, they are obtained primarily through:

Metamorph Encounters: Metamorphs have returned as part of POE2’s core content rotation. Killing boss monsters created from harvested organs has a chance to drop Catalysts, especially if organs with higher difficulty or reward tiers are selected.

League Mechanics and Events: Certain leagues and events may boost Catalyst drop rates or offer them as rewards. For example, a buy POE2 Currency crafting-focused league may make them more accessible.

Vendor Recipes (TBD in POE2): While not confirmed, Path of Exile 1 had vendor recipes involving jewelry and specific components that yielded Catalysts. It’s worth experimenting or watching patch notes to see if these recipes return.
