WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Craft Orna Enhancement Catalysts
The crafting interface for the relevant Artisan expertise: Weaponsmithing for Orna Weapon Enhancement Catalyst, or the matching Armorsmithing/Tailoring expertise for armor catalyst plans.
Before you go
- Orna equipment at +11 or higher that you intend to enhance.
- Artisan-level expertise matching the catalyst type.
- The catalyst plan and crafting materials shown in the crafting interface.
Farming steps
- Identify whether your enhancement target is a weapon, chest/leg armor, or head/hand/feet armor.
- Check Character Window > Talent > Shared Expertise to see whether you have the required Artisan expertise available.
- If needed, raise the chosen expertise to Professional proficiency 399, complete the High Expertise Artisan story with the Strange Traveler in Colhen, and pass the advancement test.
- Open the matching crafting interface and locate the Orna Enhancement Catalyst plan unlocked for that expertise.
- Review the listed ingredients and gather only what the plan requires.
- Craft the catalyst and verify it is in your inventory before beginning the equipment enhancement.
- Use the catalyst when enhancing eligible +11 or higher Orna equipment, following the enhancement interface prompts.
- Choose the catalyst type from the equipment slot first; armor catalysts are grouped by slots, so match the plan to your item.
- If another character’s highest expertise is shared, check its level and plan availability before investing in a second expertise.
Repeat, collect and use
Catalysts can be crafted again whenever you have the materials and the matching expertise. Each use consumes a catalyst; the expertise plan remains available after crafting.
Common mistakes
- Using the wrong expertise or catalyst plan: match weapon versus armor slot before gathering ingredients.
- Expecting Artisan level alone to craft: verify the required plan and materials in the crafting interface.
- Treating the 10% bonus as a guarantee: it increases enhancement chance but does not ensure success.
When to stop or switch
Stop crafting when you have a catalyst for the planned enhancement attempts or when additional catalysts exceed your available materials; resume when preparing another eligible Orna enhancement.
