Do they work when not on your active party members? I mean it won't hurt me atm to have them on active characters as I'm well leveled doing the first dozen or so missions when you first get to gran pulse but if I can leave them on non-active characters all the better!
No, they have to be on any one of your active party members.
And just to clear up another thing with catalogues. The Guide states that they do not stack, so having more than one of any catalogue is a waste of an item slot
Thank yee muchly.
I thought they did stack but in a 1st cat= 50%, 2nd cat only pushes it up to 70%, then to 75% (rough guess numbers) so it's not worth it anyway.

Not sure how people are coming to the conclusion they stack when the official guide says they don't
I don't know either way in this case; however I do know that when official guides quote game mechanics they are right more often than not, but wrong enough of the time that I wouldn't consider them the final word.
I don't have enough slots to equip more than one without weakening myself atm anyway so doesn't matter. now have one con and one survival cat
Given that I originally thought that they stacked but when I took all bar one off (after finding out they don't) there was no evident difference in how often I got ingots/traps/etc, I would be inclined to agree that having one is no different to having four.Quote:
