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 will randomly remove one existing modifier to make room for the hidden Desecrated modifier. This process is irreversible.
Can I reroll or remove a Desecrated modifier once it's revealed?
No. Desecrated modifiers are locked once revealed and cannot be rerolled, removed, or modified further. Plan your Desecration carefully.
Are Desecrated modifiers affected by item level or zone tier?
Yes. The pool of possible Desecrated modifiers is influenced by the item level of the Rare Waystone and the zone tier where the Preserved Vertebrae was obtained. Higher tiers may yield stronger modifiers.
Can I use Preserved Vertebrae on a Rare Waystone that already has a Desecrated modifier?
No. Each item can only be Desecrated once. Attempting to use Preserved Vertebrae on an already Desecrated item will fail.
Is there a way to preview the modifier pool before using Preserved Vertebrae?
No. The Desecrated modifier pool is hidden and cannot be previewed. However, players can experiment with expendable items to learn the pool's behavior over time.
