Fingerprint of the Gods

Did a few research on this and here are some of the things you should know in order for this to work properly.

First of all, if you are working actively for materia catalysts and don't care about anything else, remove all other abilities that you may have active. Competing abilities WILL lower your proc rates.

Secondly, and often the most overlooked, make sure you are in the proper area for your gathering class. To gather catalyst materials, you must be in the area that has affinity with your class.

The breakdown of specific catalysts are as follows:

Carbonized Matter - Mining (Horizon's Edge)
Petrified Matter - Mining (Nophica's Wells)
Fossilized Matter - Mining (Dragonhead)
Crystallized Matter - Mining (Treespeak)

Germinated Matter - Logging (Tranquil Paths)
Decayed Matter - Logging (Humblehearth)
Decomposed Matter - Logging (Iron Lake)
Liquefied Matter Logging - (Halatali)

Calcified Matter - Fishing (Bloodshore)
Cultured Matter - Fishing (Cedarwood)
Ossified Matter - Fishing (Bald Knoll)
Cretified Matter - Fishing (Nine Ivies)

Also, for each class, there is a specific "sweet spot" that will apply for all catalysts. For Botanists, the sweet spot will always be +5, regardless of what catalyst they are shooting for. For fishing, it will be -5. Not sure about mining, but maybe always at 0.

needs sticky.

EDIT: Mining is also +5
