Path Of Exile 2 Patch 0.3.0 Desecrated Crafting: How To Perform? | Mechanics & Functions

Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.3.0, released on August 29th, adds new league mechanics, characters, and new items to Rise of the Abyssals, significantly enriching the player experience. Among these new mechanics, the most notable is the introduction of Desecrated Crafting. Let's explore its mechanics and functions in this article.

1. Crafting Process

Desecrated Crafting involves players acquiring Abyssal Currencies in Abyssal Fissures, converting them into Desecrated items, and then bringing them to Well of Souls to activate them.

Abyssal Fissures

First, you need to find Abyssal Fissures. Players can find them in every area. They attract nearby monsters and grant them some Abyssal Energy. Defeating them closes Fissure, opening a larger Abyssal.

Players will then face new monsters in the new Abyssal, which are naturally more powerful. Defeating all monsters not only closes Abyssal but also grants rich rewards, such as Abyssal Currencies, POE 2 Currency, and other rare items.

Abyssal Currencies

Abyssal Currencies are part of Desecrated Crafting and are also known as Abyssal Bones. Players can obtain Abyssal Currencies by completing challenges or defeating monsters and bosses within Abyssal. They can also be obtained by looting treasure chests.

Abyssal Bones come in several types: Jawbones, Ribs, and Collarbones. Next, they have three qualities that determine their use: Gnawed Bones, Preserved Bones, and Ancient Bones. Abyssal Bones can be applied to items such as weapons and quivers, armor and amulets, rings and belts.

Gnawed Bones can only be used on items level 64 or lower. They are common and can be found as drops in Fissures.

Preserved Bones are used for items without level restrictions and can be obtained by defeating monsters or treasure chests in larger Abyssal regions.

Ancient Bones have the same use as Preserved Bones, but are rarer and require defeating certain Abyssal bosses.

Finally, players can use Abyssal Currencies obtained from Abyssal Fissures on regular items to convert them into Desecrated items.

Well Of Souls

Finally, find Well of Souls to activate Desecrated items. Players must create a character in Rise of the Abyssal league and enter Act 2.

Go to Mastodon Badlands, find Lightless Passage, and follow it until it reaches the end. You'll find the entrance to Well of Souls. It's typically located in the southwest of the area and is marked by a giant tusk.

Players will receive Desecrated items and place them in a container within Well. Clicking a button will reveal three modifiers for you to choose from. Selecting one of these modifiers will activate a ritual to permanently increase the item's level.

2. Function And Summary

The above steps are Desecrated crafting process. It makes basic items more durable, helping players increase their combat power and allowing them to upgrade more quickly, enriching the gameplay experience.

Most importantly, this mechanic allows you to have greater control over upgrading your gear and adding modifiers throughout the game, which is crucial for a game focused on improving combat power and character level.
