What it's for

An ordinary recipe catalyst used for special recipes in the farm laboratory. Can be won as a reward.

The common catalyst is a basic ingredient for the special processes of the farm laboratory, available on the Main farm, Gourmet farm and Flower farm. It isn't sold in the shop, you get it either as a reward or by producing it from the rare catalyst right in the laboratory. It serves as the input ingredient for producing special seeds for several crops.

How to get it

The fastest way is to produce it in the laboratory from 20 rare catalysts, which yields 18 common catalysts in 5 minutes - the recipe doesn't change with the building level, so upgrading doesn't make it any cheaper. Since it can't be bought, the only alternative is to wait for a reward from a quest or event.

What to do with it

The common catalyst is further processed in the laboratory into special seeds for corn, cabbage, wheat, wildflowers, oats, dandelions, grass, barley, peas, onions, beets and soybeans.

Tip from a veteran playerIf you're after common catalysts for special seeds, plan right away on needing a stock of rare catalysts one tier up as well, without them the recipe won't start.
Most common mistakePlenty of players look for the common catalyst in the shop even though it isn't sold there at all - the only way is production in the laboratory or a reward.
