Item Guide
- Used to unlock or upgrade standard Elemental Skills.
- Obtainable from events or by converting Totem Fragments or Totem Spheres.
- If you already own 30 Totems, Totem Fragments from the Altar of the Elements can be converted into Catalysts via your inventory.

About the Altar of the Elements
- You can now collect more than 30 Totem Fragments from the Altar.
- Catalysts are not obtained directly — you must first collect Fragments and then convert them.
- There is a hard cap of 100 Totems obtainable from the Altar.

Obtaining from Events
- Sometimes available as quest rewards.
- First appeared in the Tournament of Titan Power.
- Not a reliable source compared to other methods.

Mysterious Island
- Occasionally appears as a location on the island.
- For example, it has been found about 20 steps from the starting point, yielding 50–60 Catalysts.
- Likely to appear again in the future, though not guaranteed.

Obtaining from Totems
- Convert them directly in your inventory.
- Each Totem provides 350 Elemental Catalysts, but the Totem disappears in the process.
- 350 Catalysts usually aren’t enough for reliable reinforcement, so strengthening Totems is generally the higher priority.
- If all usable Totems are already 6★, unlocking or upgrading skills becomes a valid option.

Obtaining from Totem Fragments
- Can be converted directly or via Totems.
- Both yield 350 Catalysts, and the Summoning Sphere disappears in the process.
- All Sphere types work the same way — attribute choice doesn’t matter when converting.

Direct Conversion (Sphere → Catalysts)
- Press “Transform” in your inventory.
- Yields 350 Catalysts instantly without summoning a Totem.
- Bad Luck Protection progression (safety net) does not activate.
- Does not count toward the Altar’s 100 Totem cap.
- No confirmation screen — proceed carefully.

Totem Conversion (Sphere → Totem → Catalysts)
- Press “Use” in your inventory.
- Summons a Totem, which can then be converted into 350 Catalysts.
- Bad Luck Protection progression (safety net) does activate.
- Counts toward the Altar’s 100 Totem cap.
- For attribute-selectable spheres, your choice doesn’t matter if you plan to convert them.

Which is Better?
- Both methods have pros and cons.
- The right choice depends on the status of your guaranteed Totems at the Altar.
- If unsure, Use is the safer default.
