    I haven't had much difficulty with Catalysts as 50 Botanist. The proc of the ability was about every 2-3 trees and in obtaining the Catalysts I had 100% success. I would guess that your level is the significant factor in deciding how often the ability kicks in, they don't want rank 40 gatherers obtaining super rare items with regularity.

    This makes no sense seeing as there are grade 2,3,4 and 5 catalyst.

    It's always been possible to gather higher ranked items from low level nodes but the difficulty of successfully gathering these items has been the same with all grades. The regularlity of ability procs as well as the execution of the gather are difficulty related, it makes perfect sense a higher level gatherer would have higher success, does it not?

    I had a feeling it might be that as well, since it's been activating a lot more for me on my botanist than it does on Fisher. That or it's based on a particular gathering stat. It would also account for it supposedly kicking in more often on lower level nodes.
