Crystalization Catalyst Blueprint
Hy i have a problem with crystalization catalyst blueprints. Im doind Colossus and the blueprint has a 20 percent drop chance. But mostly i just get 1 catalyst out of 50 attempts. This is a disaster because of the sheer amount of catalysts needed in the game. Any ideas?

Don't listen to that first guy, you can absolutely burn through 50 patterns at a 20% chance and get nothing. What's worse is that Colossus are loading screen simulators at high level.

Stack patterns for Void Fusion Reactors, you can get like 5 snowglobes on the map well within 5 minutes then open all of them. Least painful grind of cats and activators.

Edit: I said 5 globes but meant 10, I don't know where my mind is at lately.

1 out of 50 attempts seems rather hard to believe, for me its about 1 out 8 when I do go and farm for them. So I could get a good handfull in an hour.

Just keep playing and get them as freebies from events or buy them at ETA-0 Vendor (He's in Albion now too). Also each of the races in Axion gives 1 per top score.

Hyperbole like 1 out 50, etc some fake number won't help you either. It's just the bad feeling of not getting your prize so your mind doing tricks on you to make it seems worse.

Finally, if all else fail, show Nexon the money and visit the cash shop.

run Void Fusion Reactors
do 400% runs and u will get 2 Amorphous Material

Thanks. Doing a lot of 400% already (really easy with fully build Freyna). Fusion Reactors are super boring. But the problem is 20% chance for catalyst but for me it looks more than 5%. And am chewing through catalysts very fast.

I have 80 unused catalyst now... all my descendants and ultimate weapons are maxed and I have another 50+ blueprints in storage and few hundred amorphous to open for them. Now colossus killing takes seconds.

The weekly and daily is killing colossus(Intercept missions), so I decided to open some amorph for energy activators (only using normal stabilizer to increase to 10% chance)... Today alone, I added another 5 more EA to my stash of 11, increasing it to 16, enough for 16 future descendants or weapons.

Just play naturally and consistently.

we are talking about Crystalization Catalysts not Energy Activators
So for 10 descendants we will need 100 Crystalization Catalysts
And one takes 7 hours.
If you have a job, you can't have 80.
At least not if you have most of them fully equipped.

Reading issue. Just giving an example. I have 80 catalyst and 50+ blueprints to simply research, why would I want to get more from amorphous materials.

Don't lock into 1 track mind, just simply substitute catalyst into my intercept farming. Maybe you get 5 to 10 catalysts. They are the same process of opening amorph in intercept missions.

Playing since the season 0. Freebies, etc and of course grinding. Play naturally and consistently, and you'll reach the same state as me. Having a job also meant you can buy from cash shop and get the battlepass too . lol.

Just Farming Missions in axion gave me a handful of catalyst blueprints.

Also for farming amorphous mats, the normal mode special operations are really good. Set the material with the blueprint as target reward. I don't know why it works so well, but you'll get literally hundreds of them.

Before every day I crafted 3 Crystalization catalysts. To get the schematics I went to the bosses on hard (kill in 1 bullet with Hailey and the sniper of the Sigma Sector) and the boss of the fusion reactor of the void with Ines.
I had noticed that if after three openings of Amorphous Materials did not have a schematic of catalyst on the same boss, I gave up because it was not the day when it was supposed to fall. I tried again the next day, etc ... until it was the right day.
And when it was ok I went around all the boss ...
havent really farmed those much
maybe once in awhile and i still have almost 100 of those sitting around
but we do get a lot of those from events and that ETA shop

In the shop ETA = 1 per week only ...

Well that's rng for you , I got once 4 in row trying to get the 32% drop

Remember if there is one person with unbelievable bad luck there is another one with unbelievably good luck cancelling each other out
