Energy Reactors vs Crystallization Catalyst

[Delphinus]

Crystallization Catalyst are more important than Energy Reactors change my mind o.o Think about which do you need the most which is the one used the most o.O

Why would anyone feel a need to change someone else's mind on the internet evades me?

Reality is that you need both of those upgrade materials to maximize your character potential.

My view is Energy Activator (you got it mixed) is more imporant purely for the fact it can massively increase your new (level 1) character module capacity while Crystallization Catalysts can only be used when you reach level 40.

My ideal chartacter would have 10 Catalysts (sub-attack mod, transcendent mod (optiona) and 8 regular module slots), 1 Energy Activator and 2 non-polarity module slots for some flexibility.

Energy Activators are rather rare and their rarity will be what holds you back. Catalysts are much more readily available but you will be limited by how fast you can level up your character or weapon proficiency.

Well... aren't we lucky that crystal catalysts are 15% - 20% drop rate and not the 3% - 6% for energy activators.

yes energy activators are more important, but you get way too few catalysts in comparison.
a fully maxed out character needs 7 catalysts invested, at least for the ultimate version which already come with 4 slots. and 1 energy activator.

Energy activator drop rate is 6% which you can even increase to 10%.
so you need about 7 times more catalysts but the chance to drop them is only about triple.

Yeah but you only use it once though on a weapon or Descendant o.O How times will you use a Crystallization Catalysts on your favorite gun or Descendant >.> Also i was not trying to change your mind you can think whatever you want o.o. But at the end of the day Crystallization Catalysts ARE MORE IMPORTANT THESE ARE FACTS FAM >_>

I have 20+ Catalysts at any given time and always are researching one. I only once had 3 Energy Activators sitting in my inventory and only lately I usually have blueprint waiting while one is being researched.

As I said, you need both of these materials to unlock full potential of the weapon. Catalysts can be easily farmed in normal mode. Energy Activators are only worth focus farming only on hard mode as 3% chance on normal mode is just too low to reliable get one.

I'm not trying to change your mind nor I really care what you think. You are wrong, I'm right. This is my internet.

If we are not taking into account a fresh character than I think the Catalyst would be more important "if" you could have enough to use on all your slots except for the Descendant specific mod slot which you won't want to use it on or you'll lock yourself out of the other mods.

The reason why I believe that is that each time you use one it reduces your mods capacity cost and with all slots socketed I think, not in game to check, that it would be greater than the capacity increase you'd get from an Activator.

What's an Activator add . . . 20? So you'll have up to 70 to use without a Catalyst installed. If you have 50 without an Activator and socket all 8 slots you'd halve (?) your costs and have 25 (?) leftover so up to 75 Capacity (?). Someone in game can probably check and see the actual numbers. I can't remember because I have too few and only used one of each.

If you could only use one of either than I'd say the Activator is more important because it would increase capacity by 20 and one Catalyst can't halve by that much. But ultimately you want both maxed.

[Danyel]

Sure catalyst are more "important" since they are used more often if your criteria is how often do you need to use them.

Why would anyone want to convince you otherwise.

[~Lazy_Eggs~]

You just use more catalyst ... I consider both important for build, but without energy activator ... You won't be able to achieve maximum proficiency

True, you need 10 of them per weapon/character. But the Energy Activator makes a MUCH bigger difference when you don't have one to use on a new character, as they are very annoying to grind/craft. Though amusingly the "rare" part needed for them is very very common, it's the OTHER common parts that are a pain to get. Backwards compared to crystalizations, where the parts are easy, and the BP is a nightmare to farm for.

Even if you put 10 catalyst on a weapon you won't be able to fit all the (maxed) mods in it without a reactor ...
They are equally important.

[Megalomaniakaal]

Well, duh.
