Enshrouded 1.0: How to Get Bones (Drop Sources and Uses)

Bones come from killing animals and skeletons and looting their bodies. They cannot be crafted, so every Bone you own is pulled off a corpse, a skeleton’s bone pile, or a coffin. The item carries the description “Possessing magical properties, bones of the dead are often used in alchemy.”

Quick answer: Kill a wild animal or a Hollow skeleton, walk to the body, and loot it. Bones appear in the pickup panel.

For bigger stacks, move on to skeletons. Hollow Damned and Hollow Summoners turn up in every region and gather in large numbers inside Hollow Halls.

Creatures that drop Bones

Scavenger Hounds roam the Kindlewastes, Veilwater Basin, Revelwood, Nomad Highlands, and Springlands. Sabertooths are in the Nomad Highlands, Snow Sabertooths in the Albaneve Summits. Draconian Vultures appear in the Kindlewastes and Whitewing Vultures in the Albaneve Summits.

Beyond kills, bone piles left behind by skeletons can be picked up directly, coffins can hold Bones, and sand digger bodies in the Kindlewastes drop them too.
