This article is about the player-owned port item. For the quest reward, see Ancient bones (The Restless Ghost).
This article has a strategy guide. All information on mechanics, setups, and tactics is on the subpage. |
Ancient bones are used in the creation of scrimshaws at a Scrimshaw Crafter, as well as Death Lotus darts and their off-hand counterparts at the workbench. It is a reward from completing the Biologist and Missionary storylines, as well as a reward from their specific voyages, and some standard voyages.
If one wishes to 'farm' Ancient bones, it is recommended to build two/one Biologist and two/one Missionary statues. There is no joint voyage for Ancient bones, unlike other trade goods.
Fletching a scrimshaw requires between 2 and 10 Ancient bones per scrimshaw created. Fletching a set of 25 lotus darts requires 1 set of ancient bones and 25 ascension shards. The maximum amount of Ancient bones a player can store at one time is 250. Any successful voyages after this will not increase the total.
Players may also buy individual units in the form of ports bone packs from Boni on Waiko after the miniquest Impressing the Locals. These cost 5 taijitu and 1,500 chimes each, but are the variant outside of Player-Owned Ports. Based on the GE price of scrimshaws, the value of ancient bones is 141,040 coins. Alternatively, if creating darts to disassemble into silent components, each ancient bone can be valued at 423,951.5 coins.
