Hi everybody,
 
I am starting out on Architect and must say some things are not clear to me:
 
1) How do locked variants become unlocked, when it says "This is unlocked by a recipe you can find at vendors or in the world". While the text apperas to be clear, I did experience the ramshackle fence variant of the chain linked security fence unlock without my active contribution. Initially it was locked but a few days later without my character ever having left Thayd or buying a recipe from a vendor it was suddenly unlocked. How?
 
2) What on earth do catalysts do?
 
 
Thanks for any help.

			   Hi! I'm new at architect myself but let me try and answer. To make the main item you have listed from novice tech tree just hit craft button. For variants, at low level, they appear in the game field on left side of menu. So my guess for question 1. When you add extra ingredients (the menu on right side that charges you for xtra things like glue, nails etc... ) you get little target icons. The closer an ingredient gets to the target décor that's in the field the better. Sometimes as you add another ingredient it will go in a straight line towards the target. Sometimes it zigs or zags and you have to play with different ones a bit. Those target items are not the main décor  you selected however. Those are the alternatives and if you made one successfully you get that new recipe automatically added. Other items you will get as dropped recipes or purchase using various currency at vendor or on AH.      For 2 they seem to either make the ingredient target icons a little bigger and allow for an easier time to hit the décor icon or grant some leeway outside the icons circle for a completed item creation. At least that's what it does for me.      Hope this is right and  helps ya out :)
