Path of Exile Intrinsic Catalyst Wiki & Tips

What is an Intrinsic Catalyst and How Does it Work in Path of Exile?

Intrinsic Catalyst is a type of catalyst in the game Path of Exile. It is used to add quality that enhances attribute modifiers on rings, amulets, or belts. This catalyst replaces other quality types and has a greater effect on lower-rarity jewelry. The maximum quality that can be added is 20%.

To use an Intrinsic Catalyst, you need to right-click the catalyst and then left-click the ring, amulet, or belt you want to apply it to. The quality added by the catalyst enhances attribute modifiers, which can provide additional bonuses to your character's attributes such as strength, dexterity, and intelligence.

In addition, Intrinsic Catalysts can be used in certain upgrade paths or vendor recipes to create other types of catalysts. For example, combining three Intrinsic Catalysts with a Catalyst (random) can create an Unstable Catalyst, which enhances critical modifiers on jewelry.
