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:

1. Mechanism Repositioning: Abyss is no longer featured as a permanent league core content throughout the main game progression.

2. Endgame Exclusive Content: Abyss has been adjusted and integrated as a challenge mechanism exclusive to the Endgme.

3. 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 Preserved Vertebrae FAQs

What happens if I Desecrate a Rare Waystone with full modifiers?

Desecrating a Rare Waystone with full modifiers would randomly remove one existing modifier to make room for the hidden Desecrated modifier. This process was irreversible.

Can I reroll or remove a Desecrated modifier once it's revealed?

No. Desecrated modifiers were locked once revealed at the Well of Souls and could not be rerolled, removed, or modified further by standard means.

Are Desecrated modifiers affected by item level or zone tier?

Yes. The pool of possible Desecrated modifiers was influenced by the item level of the Rare Waystone. Higher item levels and zone tiers historically yielded stronger modifier ranges.

Can I use Preserved Vertebrae on a Rare Waystone that already has a Desecrated modifier?

No. Each item could only be Desecrated once. Attempting to use Preserved Vertebrae on an already Desecrated item would fail.

Is there a way to preview the modifier pool before using Preserved Vertebrae?

No. The Desecrated modifier pool was hidden and could not be previewed. Players had to rely on community knowledge and experimentation to understand the potential outcomes.

What is the current status of Preserved Vertebrae in PoE2?

Preserved Vertebrae was removed in Patch 0.4.0. The Abyss mechanic has been entirely repositioned as an Endgame challenge, and this currency item is no longer available in the game.
