What's up with catalysts drops for You?

Hello,

I played this league non-stop till now, finally leveled my atlas to level 8, did tons of maps (like 878 / 1500 bosses killed), doing T14+ exclusively in the last four / five days, and I am still sitting on only a very few catalyst.
In blight league, oils were rare (found 5 golden oils in 614 hours), but now catalysts seems to be non-existent even compared to that.

I mean, just for 1 unique item I would need 20 of them, and I do not even have 20 from half of them yet (used only 1-1 of them for a challenge, not more).



I full clear all maps for all possible samples, fully buff all metamorph bosses and I always choose catalyst parts over anything if I very very rarely been offered with one at the end which seems to be like 1 per 40-50 bosses.

What is Your experience with its drop rate?

Thanks in advance!

Thing that sucks even more is that you need 20% no matter what. Even on Rares. It only goes up by 1%

That's a decent chunk for only being a week in, i should be able to buy plenty when the league ends and can just focus on the items that will need it.

You can't be serious, you have 162 of them after 1 week and are complaining?
I'm level 92, have done every Metamorph and have 19.

That one+ week was 140 hours played, and yes, considering that You need 20 of each for one item, if looks not enough for me.

I have about 70-80 hours in that time, yet a fraction of the catalysts. Consider yourself lucky. Why not trade for the ones you need?Are you ssf?

Thanks for Your ratio, this is why I was curious, because if it is lucky for me, then it sounds really bad.
I prefer gathering stuff myself over buying, but in the end, I might buy up a few dozen of them it seems.

I'm lvl 87 and killed almost all metamorph and got like 5 catalyst lol.

I'm level 84 and I have 11 so far.

I've killed all but two metamorphs and tried to select catalysts every time it was an option. The drop rate does seem fairly low.

Okay, so, I just crossed 300 hours played this league, on atlas level 8 for weeks now and doing exclusively T15 and T16 maps, doing and fully buffing each and every metamorphs, selecting always catalysts over anything when I am very-very-very rarely get offered with it, and still did not managed to get a 20 stack from the life and resistance ones, not that the others passed the 30-60 mark already.

Do not tell me that it is normal when we need 20 of each on an item when it is ready, not to mention, these are removed during crafting. This drop rate is pure nonsense, the blight map drop rates where laughable last league, but this is now clearly even more broken.

And yes, I do not have 2 exalted orb just to buy 1 set of them to just 1 of my items, especially when I have 4 items to quality per character. I wanted to farm them as I would expect it in a grinding game and did everything for that, but this is just impossible, again.
