Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2)

Xoph's Catalyst Effects and How to Get

Add to Watchlist

Xoph's Catalyst is a Catalyst in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2). See how to get Xoph's Catalyst and an overview of the item.

How to Get Xoph's Catalyst

Obtained from Breaches

Obtained from Breaches

Xoph's Catalyst is dropped by enemies that spawn from Breaches. Breaches are found in certain nodes in the Atlas and spawn waves of enemies around you.

Breach Endgame Mechanic

Higher Drop Rate from Rare Monsters

If you encounter a Rare Monster that exclusively spawns from the Breach's enemy pool, they will have a higher chance to drop a Catalyst. With that in mind, stacking Rising Danger and Twin Threats passives from the Atlas Tree will significantly increase getting Xoph's Catalyst.

Atlas Skill Tree Guide

Allocate Xesht's Madness Passive

While the drop chance of Xoph's Catalyst may not increase upon allocating the Xesht's Madness passive, Rare Monsters will now have a 10% chance to be a full stack, which is a possible 10 Xoph's Catalysts.

However, doing so will give Rare Monsters in Breach the Soul Eater modifier, increasing the event's lethality.

Use Currency Exchange

Use Currency Exchange

Xoph's Catalyst can be obtained by visiting the Currency Exchange NPC in every Act. Currency Exchange becomes available after completing Act 3.

How to Use Xoph's Catalyst

Xoph's Catalyst is used by applying it on different types of equipment and other items to modify its properties.

Right click this item then left click a Ring or Amulet to Apply it. The maximum quality is 20%.

Adds a Percentage of the Modifier's Base Value

Upon applying a Catalyst, the quality it provides for a Ring or Amulet will add up to a maximum of 20% of a modifier belonging to its category's base value.

For example, a 15 Strength modifier will be increased to 18 when you slot in a Catalyst since the additional 3% is the result of multiplying the 20% quality of the base modifier.
