List of PoE 2 Desecrates Currency: Ancient Bones

In Path of Exile 2, Desecrated modifiers play a special role in customizing your rare gear. To unlock these unique modifiers, players use Ancient Bones, a form of currency item tied to the Abyss system. These bones allow you to infuse rare items with desecrated affixes, opening the door to modifiers that might not normally appear. Ancient Bones are obtained primarily from Abyssal Troves, which spawn when you complete Abyss encounters, or inside the deeper layers of the Abyssal Depths. Keep in mind that when using these bones, if your rare item already has full affix slots, one of them will be randomly removed to make space for the desecrated modifier.

List of PoE 2 Desecrated Mods - Path of Exile 2

Desecrated modifiers can be applied to items using preserved bone currency. Bringing the item to the Well of Souls in Act 2 reveals the modifier, letting you choose one of three possible outcomes. While many options are standard modifiers, in endgame it's possible to encounter modifiers that normally cannot appear. Even before being revealed, a desecrated modifier occupies a prefix or suffix slot, and once revealed, it only rolls options of that type. Any item carrying a desecrated modifier displays a unique icon on its nameplate. Unrevealed modifiers appear as a line of green abyssal runes, while revealed exclusive modifiers show a faint green glow along the edges of the item's display.
