OMG right, -I- have a question about architect.
 
Anyway. I've never ever used catalysts before and frankly didn't need them really. I just always saved them and kept them in my bank.
Now recently I've also discovered you can buy catalysts from the architect NPC (*cupcake* sells some good stuff) and I thought I'd start using them to make some extra cash such as on the Tier 3 Gathering FABkits, where the money is (or could really be) if you could hit it every time.
 
So far I've only used a few "increase target size". I was pleasantly surprised to see how ridiculously much easier it makes some of the difficult things. Even those that only increase "slightly". Basically, with a catalyst it's pretty much impossible to miss the target no matter what it is. Tried it on the most difficult stuff I could find in journeyman, artisan and expert research.
 
 
Now to my questions:
 
-I have 13 Precise Placement Precision: A Journeyman's Guide. These reduce "randomness of additives in journeyman blueprints". I guess I can understand what that means but somehow I can't use them when I'm opening up a journeyman craft. How exactly does one use these? I have a feeling it only works on the first time you craft a certain blueprint bought from the architect NPC for crafting vouchers? Haven't tested yet tbh. These seem pretty useless then.
 
-Can you use them every single craft on the same craft? I've noticed that I couldn't use catalysts on the same craft over and over again for some reason

			I'm shocked they work for you. Mine do absolutely nothing! even the purple level one that is supposed to just move the reticle over to target at the end (guaranteeing you get what you want) is not working at all. Please tell me how I went through 10 of these all failing and your doing well with them.

Honestly, they only worked a few times. Often it didn't show anything (only used those to make target bigger, can't even select the other types when starting crafting). Though I have yet to test out whether it works even when you can't see it get bigger, though I haven't failed yet even when I couldn't see the target get bigger.
 
Btw, no catalyst GUARANTEES you to get what you want. It should just give you a huge probability boost.
