Currency Acquisition Update: Abyssal Bones
(Applicable to Path of Exile 2 - Version 0.4.0 and beyond)
In Path of Exile 2, Version 0.4.0, the Abyss mechanism has undergone significant systemic adjustments:
Mechanism Repositioning: Abyss is no longer featured as a permanent league core content throughout the main game progression.
Endgame Exclusive Content: Abyss has been adjusted and integrated as a challenge mechanism exclusive to the Endgme.
Independent Passive Support: Abyss content now features a unique Atlas Passive Tree, allowing players to specifically invest points during the endgame stage to enhance or customize the Abyss experience.
Acquisition Restriction:
Due to the changes mentioned above, the crafting and synthesis currency, Abyssal Bones, has become a strictly endgame drop. Players must now engage in Abyss challenges during the endgame stage (specifically through the mapping or Atlas system) to acquire this crafting currency.

Path of Exile 2 Ancient Jawbone FAQs
What is the drop level of Ancient Jawbone, and why does it matter?
Ancient Jawbone drops at level 75 and above, meaning it's primarily found in high-tier zones. This high drop level aligns with its purpose: crafting powerful weapons and quivers for endgame builds.
Where can I find Abyssal Bones like Ancient Jawbone in Path of Exile 2 (Version 0.4.0+)?
Due to the system changes, Abyssal Bones are now strictly endgame drops. You must engage with the integrated Abyss content via the Atlas Passive Tree and high-level mapping to acquire this crafting currency. They no longer drop throughout the main campaign.
What does “Minimum Modifier Level: 40" actually do?
It ensures that any Desecrated modifier added will be level 40 or higher. This excludes low-tier affixes and guarantees stronger outcomes, such as high-tier damage, crit, or hybrid effects, thereby focusing the modifier pool on more impactful stats.
Should I use Ancient Jawbone on item level 40 weapons or quivers?
Technically, you can, but it's not recommended. To maximize affix strength and modifier pool access, you should use it on item level 81+ gear, as the base item level dictates the absolute highest tier of affixes that can be rolled. Lower-level items will waste its potential.
If the item has six modifiers, what happens when I use an Ancient Jawbone?
If the Rare Weapon or Quiver is full (6 affixes), one of the existing six modifiers is randomly removed before the Desecrated modifier is added. This is a high-risk operation, as a valuable prefix or suffix could be removed.
Can Ancient Jawbone be used with Omens for better results?
Yes. Omens like Omen of Sinistral Necromancy (prefix focus) or Omen of Abyssal Echoes (reroll options at Well of Souls) can dramatically influence the outcome, making Ancient Jawbone far more effective in highly curated crafting setups.
How does Ancient Jawbone improve endgame crafting?
Filtering out weak modifiers allows players to target high-impact affixes reliably. Combined with the Well of Souls reveal mechanic, which offers a choice of three outcomes, it offers a reliable path to powerful, specialized gear upgrades.
