Catalyst Breakdown

If you're like me all this new Exotic Masterworks stuff with their Catalysts can be a bit confusing and frustrating, there's just so much. So let's do a quick run down of which catalysts pop where and what you need to do to complete them. There's quite a few of them so I'm going to keep this as simple quick reference more than anything. I've seen a number of posts and tweets about catalysts not dropping, granted it's not guaranteed to drop but hopefully this helps in your grind.

Keep in mind the comprised list is a conglomeration of threads, articles, spreadsheets, and other various sources. Not everything is confirmed and majority ruling was taken but it still may not be completely accurate. Anything with a (?) next to it means its unconfirmed, if it reads Unknown then the source I found, if any, didn't have any real merit about it.

There will be a follow up to this list once all are known and I can verify each. It's my job to look into this stuff, so you just sit back, relax, and let us at DTR trudge through the internet for you. Do you know how dirty it is? Going through the Internet? I should have worn galoshes.
