Information
Type	Crafted

Arcane Enhancements are special items that can be installed on certain equipment to grant them buffs that can be activated by achieving certain conditions within a mission. There are several major types of Arcanes that can be applied to their own dedicated set of items. Arcanes can be freely installed and will not be destroyed if they're unequipped or replaced by other Arcanes.

Arcane rarity is indicated by the color and design complexity of the Arcane. Common Arcanes are Bronze, Uncommon are Silver, Rare are Gold, and Legendary are Platinum. The higher ranks are denoted by the higher number of connectors on the bottom and the higher number of chevrons on the top of their individual icons.

Mechanics

An Arcane with refreshable duration icon

Arcanes are activated by accomplishing its trigger condition (e.g. landing a Critical Hit, or taking damage, etc.), which will then have a percentage chance to activate the stated effect. If an Arcane's effect has a limited duration and is refreshable, the duration can be renewed by triggering it again.

Application

Arcane upgrade interface.

A total of two Arcanes can be equipped on each Warframe, Operator, and Operator Amps (however, in the case of Warframes when an Arcane Helmet is used only a single Arcane can be equipped alongside). A maximum of one Arcane can be equipped on all weapons, while Zaw and Kitgun Arcanes occupy a unique slot separate from Primary/Secondary/Melee Arcanes. Archwing weapons have no Arcanes, and thus no slots.

They can be installed through their respective upgrade screens for the item. Arcanes can be upgraded in the Orbiter's Arcane Segment located between the Mod and Incubator Segments, which becomes available after acquiring an Arcane, or while equipping one in the Arsenal. Rank insignia of an Arcane will be visible below its name, denoting how many upgrades it has undergone.

Much like Mods, Arcanes can be equipped across multiple items, though they have a unique progress bar of their own to the right of the Foundry selection. Similarly, duplicate Arcanes cannot be equipped on the same item.

Warframe's Exalted Weapons and Sentinel's Robotic Weapons cannot equip Primary, Secondary, or Melee Arcanes.

Rank

An Arcane can be ranked up by sacrificing duplicate unranked Arcanes of the same type, increasing their effects. This can be done inside the Orbiter:

ESC  > EQUIPMENT  > ARCANES 

Every successive rank-up requires one more Arcane than the previous one. The maximum rank of an Arcane depends on its type:

Arcanes required:	Rank 0	Rank 1	Rank 2	Rank 3	Rank 4	Rank 5
	Exodia, Virtuos, Pax, and Residual				All Warframe, Primary, Secondary, Melee, Operator, and Eternal Arcanes
- in Total	1	3	6	10	15	21
- for next Rank	-	+2	+3	+4	+5	+6

Dissolution

Following completion of the Whispers in the Walls quest, Loid offers his services for Arcane Dissolution. Unwanted Arcanes can be dissolved into  Vosfor which can be traded back to Loid in exchange for randomly selected Arcanes from a collection of choice. All collections cost  200 and 50,000 Credits 50,000 to purchase.

Warframe Arcanes

Arcane Drop Model

Arcane

Warframe Arcanes, simply referred to as Arcane, were originally introduced with Trials, namely The Law of Retribution in Update 16.0 (2015-03-19) and The Jordas Verdict in Update 17.9.1 (2015-10-29). However, Trials have since been retired in Update 22.14 (2018-03-01).

• In Hotfix 22.13.2 (2018-02-16), they were permanently added to Eidolon Teralysts, Gantulysts, and Hydrolysts drops from either killing or capturing them. Captures will yield more exquisite rewards than simply killing them; for example, killing a Teralyst will only yield common Arcanes while capturing it will yield a higher chance to drop the more uncommon ones.
  • Later updates added Eidolon Arcanes to limited-time events:
    • Update 27.3 (2020-03-24) added all Eidolon Arcanes in Operation: Scarlet Spear, purchasable from Little Duck using  Scarlet Credits for the duration of the event.
    • In Update 29.6 (2020-12-18), the Arcanes returned through Operation: Orphix Venom, purchasable from Father using  Phasic Cells for the duration of the event.
    • In Update 35.0 (2023-12-13), they were available through Operation: Gargoyle's Cry, purchasable from the Vigile Jahu Gargoyle for  Grotesque Splinter for the duration of the event.
    • In Update 36.0 (2024-06-18), they were available through Operation: Belly of the Beast, purchasable from Ordis for  Volatile Motes for the duration of the event.
• Update 29.10 (2021-03-19) permanently added the Orphix mission to the game, with all Eidolon Arcanes available through Rotation C.
• Hotfix 25.7.6 (2019-09-18) introduced five Warframe Arcanes ( Arcane Blade Charger,  Arcane Bodyguard,  Arcane Pistoleer,  Arcane Primary Charger, and  Arcane Tanker), exclusive to Arbitrations.
• Update 32.2 (2022-11-30) introduced two Warframe Arcanes ( Arcane Blessing and  Arcane Rise), exclusive to Conjunction Survival.
• Update 32.3 (2023-02-15) introduced two Warframe Arcanes ( Arcane Double Back and  Arcane Steadfast), exclusive to Mirror Defense.
• Update 33.0 (2023-04-26) introduced two Warframe Arcanes ( Arcane Reaper and  Arcane Intention), exclusive to Duviri.
• Update 33.5 (2023-06-21) introduced one Warframe Arcane ( Arcane Power Ramp), exclusive to Duviri.
• Update 36.0 (2024-06-18) introduced two Warframe Arcanes ( Arcane Battery and  Arcane Ice Storm), exclusive to Ascension.

Melee Weapon Arcanes

Unlike other Arcanes, these slots must be unlocked using  Melee Arcane Adapter, which can be bought from the Market for 20 Platinum 20 or from Bird 3 of  Cavia for 50,000 Standing 50,000 and requires Rank 3 - Colleague, or as a reward from Netracells or Deep Archimedia missions. Acquiring a Melee Arcane Adapter requires completion of the Whispers in the Walls quest.

Applying Melee Arcanes requires the Melee Upgrade Segment obtained from the Whispers in the Walls quest.

They occupy their own spot that is separate from Zaw's Exodia Arcanes.

Melee

Melee Arcanes were introduced in Update 35.0 (2023-12-13), obtained from Albrecht's Laboratories: defeating Mocking Whisper, Scathing Whispers, or The Fragmented, awarded from Netracells missions, or bought from Bird 3 of  Cavia.

Raw Data

Main article: Module:Arcane/data

For a community-contributed list of Arcanes in WARFRAME, see Module:Arcane/data.

Notes

• The benefits of Arcane Enhancements do not always carry over to Archwing mode if players have an Arcane enhanced item equipped on their active loadout's Warframe.
  •  Arcane Nullifier on the Plains of Eidolon will not block  Magnetic procs from water when in Archwing, but will on foot.
• The number of Arcanes $A$ required for rank $n$ follows the sequence of triangular numbers given by: $A = \frac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}$
• Arcanes that are physically dropped by enemies are considered a Mod drop, and are thus affected by The Steel Path and Mod Drop Chance Boosters.
• Because they are dropped as mystery items in the form of a Mod item, Arcanes dropped by Acolytes in The Steel Path will be sucked up and permanently destroyed by Scavenger Drones. The  Steel Essence will be picked up, but will be dropped on death however.
• Primary passives do not apply to Secondary weapons. Similarly Secondary passives do not apply to Primary weapons.
• Trading Legendary-grade Arcanes ( Arcane Barrier,  Arcane Grace,  Arcane Energize,  Arcane Reaper,  Longbow Sharpshot,  Secondary Shiver) require the player to be Mastery Rank 11.

Trivia

• Before Update 24.6 (2019-04-04), Magus, Virtuos and Exodia Arcanes in Cetus are purchasable as blueprints, requiring time and resources to build in addition to standing.
  • Built Arcanes can be traded between players, however Arcane blueprints cannot.

Patch History

Update 37.0 (2024-10-02)

• Purchasing Arcanes from a Vendor now displays how many Arcanes you own per rank.
  • Also added the rank UI element to Arcanes in the Vendor wares to more clearly indicate that they are unranked.

Update 36.0 (2024-06-18)

New Arcanes

Enhance your Arsenal with these new Arcanes! Acquire these new enhancements from Sisters of Parvos spawned in the new Ascension game mode, or exchange them for Vestigial Motes via Ordis in the Larunda Relay.

Stats below are shown at max rank.

Arcane Ice Storm (Warframe)

On Enemy Frozen: Gain +2% Ability Strength and +2% Ability Duration for 15s. Stacks up to 20x.

Arcane Battery (Warframe)

Gains 0.30 maximum Energy per Armor point, up to 1000 Energy.

Secondary Surge (Secondary)

On Ability Cast: Next shot gains a Damage Multiplier for every 200 current Energy, up to x8.

Secondary Fortifier (Secondary)

Gain 1 Overguard for every 100 Damage dealt to an enemy’s Overguard. Deals x8 Extra Damage to Overguard.

Melee Afflictions (Melee)

Enemies affected by Status Effects gain 6 additional stacks when they're knocked down or flung by melee attacks.

General Additions

• Added the Cavia Arcane Collection to Loid’s “Arcane Dissolution” Offerings - this Collection has a chance at the following Arcanes:
  • Melee Fortification
  • Melee Retaliation
  • Melee Animosity
  • Melee Exposure
  • Melee Influence
  • Melee Vortex
  • Melee Crescendo
  • Melee Duplicate

General Changes

• Trading Legendary Arcanes now requires you to be Mastery Rank 11.
  • It’s important to note that only the player trading requires MR 11 and not the receiver.
    • We needed to address an issue with exploitative Legendary Arcanes farming and ban-evasion account creation used to trade Legendary Arcanes. Other options we experimented with had the risk of innocent players getting caught in the crossfire of the ban-evasion subjects. When we took a look at Trading stats we found that a very small number of players below Mastery Rank 10 trade Legendary Arcanes, and therefore decided to go this route. This is purely a means of deterring the bad actors and ensuring legitimate trading for players.

OPTIMIZATIONS

• Fixed performance issues caused by placing a Warframe Articula that is using a Loadout that has the Melee Retaliation Arcane equipped.
• Optimized the Melee Duplicate and Exodia Force Arcanes to help prevent performance lag.

FIXES

• Fixed the Arcane Dissolution Packs in Loid’s Sanctum Anatomica offerings using the incorrect icons.
• Fixed the Melee Influence Arcane breaking the holding and holster animations for Tonfa skins.

Hotfix 35.5.1 (2024-03-27)

• Fixed a script error when sorting by Owned/Rarity in the Arcane list accessed from the Upgrade screen (this was causing a loss of function).

Update 35.5 (2024-03-27)

• Fixed the grid in the Arcane Dissolution screen not displaying correctly when you open it for the first time.

Update 35.1 (2024-02-20)

• Fixed certain Arcanes (including but not limited to: Arcane Victory, Arcane Avenger, and Arcane Grace) having “0” in their Buff icons instead of the actual stat.
• Fixed Melee Animosity no longer functioning after activating and deactivating Titania’s Razorwing.
• Fixed Melee Animosity not triggering on Glave hits while dual wielding with Secondary weapon.
• Fixed Melee Influence’s buffs applying to clones spawned from Warframe abilities (ex: Mirage’s Hall of Mirror clones).
  • While this has been a popular combination, it has also been the source of many severe performance issues that can crash players. We have removed this interaction in the name of stability for the game.
• Fixed Primary and Melee Arcanes being triggered by Secondary Weapons while on K-Drive/Merulina.
• Fixed Melee Influence being triggered by Dual Ichor Incarnon’s Toxin fields.  
  • Melee Influence is intended to trigger “On Melee Electricity Status” and not from secondary effects (as they are not considered direct Melee hits). Since the Toxin fields deal damage independently of Melee attacks, it does not meet the Arcane’s criteria of triggering only if the Electricity Status originates from the weapon in hand.
• Fixed a combination of Magus Aggress and the Tenacious Bond Mod (when equipped on both Khora’s Venari and Companion) causing buff icons to disappear.
• Fixed a crash caused by Status Effects spreading from Melee Influence.
• Fixed Arcanes that have “on kill” effects (such as Primary Merciless) being triggered all at once upon entering a Rampart Turret.

Hotfix 35.0.7 (2024-01-09)

• Arcanes offerings from Vendors are now displayed as unranked.
  • Hovering over the Arcane will now display both its unranked and max rank stats. This is to help avoid players thinking they are buying a fully ranked Arcane.

Update 35.0 (2023-12-13)

ARCANE DISSOLUTION

The Albrecht Laboratory is equipped with devices that can dissolve Arcanes into Vosfor, a potent powder for alchemical processes. It is used to trade for Arcane packs from a vendor in the Sanctum Anatomica!

The goal of Arcane Dissolution is to provide an alternative way for players to access and acquire the wide range of Arcanes found throughout Warframe.

HOW TO PERFORM ARCANE DISSOLUTION

Step 1: Speak with a vendor in the Sanctum Anatomica and select the “Arcane Dissolution” option to get started.

Step 2: Select the “Dissolve Arcanes” button

Step 3: Select the Arcanes you’d like to dissolve.

• The amount of Vosfor obtained per Arcane is determined by a variety of factors, including its rarity and rank.
• Note: The list includes Arcanes that are currently equipped - a warning message will pop-up to inform you if the selected Arcane is equipped.

Step 4: Once you have chosen the Arcanes you’d like to Dissolve, hit the “Dissolve” button.

Step 5: Return to the Arcane Dissolution menu to exchange the earned Vosfor for a variety of Arcane packs.

ARCANE PACKS

The following Arcane Packs can be acquired from a vendor in the Sanctum Anatomica for Vosfor. Each pack is themed based on where their containing Arcanes are acquired.

Purchasing a pack will randomly reward 3 unranked Arcanes from their list. The possibility of a certain Arcane being selected is based on its rarity and respective drop rates through gameplay means. We want to maintain the integrity of its original acquisition methods in this new alternate way to access them.

MELEE UPGRADE SEGMENT

Melee Arcane Slot In these new Arcane Slots, players will be able to equip new Melee Arcanes, which have also been released with this update. Players can earn Melee Arcane Adapters via the Wares & Shiny Treasures Vendor in the Cavia Syndicate, Netracells, or by purchasing them in the Market for Platinum*.

*The Market purchase option is not available to players until the completion of the Whispers in the Walls Quest.

Melee Arcanes and Zaw Arcanes
Like Kitguns, Zaws will offer both a slot for Zaw Arcanes and Melee Arcanes (once Melee Arcanes are unlocked). Zaw Arcanes cannot be used in Melee Arcane Slots, and vice versa.

NEW MELEE ARCANES

With the new Melee Upgrade Segment, players are now able to install Arcanes into their Melee Weapons. With this Arsenal Expansion, we have added a variety of new Arcanes at the Wares & Shiny Treasures Vendor in the Cavia Syndicate. These Arcanes can also be earned from taking down The Fragmented (Effervo, Deimos), defeating the void-born creature contained in Albrecht’s Grimoire, or by completing Netracell missions. The two Legendary Tier Arcanes (Melee Influence and Melee Crescendo) are exclusive to Netracells.

The stats below are shown at Max Rank.

Melee Animosity
On Melee Hit: Gain 42% Critical Chance on your next Heavy Attack, up to 420%.

Melee Duplicate (Legendary)
On Base Critical Hits: 100% chance for your attack to strike a second time.
*Base Critical Hits (yellow by default) are all critical hits that are not “big” (orange by default) or “super” (red by default).

  • Primary Arcane Adapter
  • Secondary Arcane Adapter
  • Melee Arcane Adapter
• Primary and Secondary Arcane descriptions now indicate that you require a Primary or Secondary Arcane Adapter in order to install said Arcane.
• Added sound effect to opening the Arcane Segment in the Orbiter and when equipping Arcanes.

TOP FIXES

Hotfix 34.0.4 (2023-10-24)

• Fixed Arcanes acquired in mission not using the special pickup notification.

Update 34.0 (2023-10-18)

• Fixed several cases where the game was not recognizing a Ground Finisher for the activation of Mods and Arcanes. The intent is that Ground Finishers, Stealth Finishers and Parazon Finishers should be equivalent unless explicitly stated otherwise:
• Arcane Trickery will now activate from Ground Finishers
• Arcane Ultimatum will now activate from Ground Finishers
• The Secondary Outburst Arcane has received some overall buffs! Additionally, we’ve fixed it not functioning properly and its description being inaccurate. The new description is as follows:
  • On swapping to Secondary Weapon, consume all Combo Multipliers to increase Secondary Weapon Critical Chance and Critical Damage by 5/7/9/12/16/20% per Combo consumed for 30s.
• Fixed Cascadia Empowered Arcane and Wyrmling’s Aid Decree being able to trigger each other recursively.

Hotfix 33.5.6 (2023-07-07)

• Fixed being unable to trade Arcanes due to them appearing as Mods in the trading UI.

Update 33.5 (2023-06-21)

NEW ARCANES

Power up your Arsenal with these new Arcanes! Earn them in The Steel Path Circuit, side objective Undercroft Portals in The Steel Path Duviri Experience, and from Acrithis’ Wares (with the Rank 9 “High Value Vendor” Opportunity Drifter Intrinsic).

On Ability Cast: Next Ability cast gains +9% Ability Strength, stacking up to 4x. Resets when the same ability is recast consecutively.

Changes:

  • Prior to this change, unlocking the Steel Path was the only way to expose the Arcane Adapter slot on Primaries and Secondaries. Seeing as Arcanes and Arcane Adapters are available to obtain from Acrithis’ Wares, we changed the conditions so players who purchase an Arcane Adapter from Acrithis will have access to the Arcane slot immediately.

New Arcane Segment:
Added a new Arcane Segment in your Orbiter to manage your Arcane collection.

Upon login, a waypoint will direct you to its new location between the Mods and Incubator Segments. You may need to do some redecorating as your existing decorations may be obstructing your view of it. For new players, this segment becomes available after getting their first Arcane, a waypoint will flash to direct them to the Segment once they do. The former Arcane button in the Foundry will now direct players to the new Segment.

Update 31.6 (2022-06-09)

NEW ARCANES

*All values below are shown at Rank 5. As always, values that were shown on Devstream #162 were subject to change and that is reflected below as further considerations and testing was done.

Eternal Onslaught (Amps)
On Energy Depleted: +180% Critical Chance for 8s.

Eternal Logistics (Amps)

NEW AMP ARCANE ADAPTER

The Amp Arcane Adapter fuses with an Amp to unlock an additional Arcane Slot. These can be purchased with Holdfast Standing from Cavalero.

To install the Amp Arcane Adapter and unlock an additional Slot, go to your Operator Equipment > Select the Amp you wish to unlock an additional Slot > Select the ‘Locked’ slot and hit “ok” to install the Amp Arcane Adapter.

With the addition of several new Amp Arcanes with Angels of the Zariman and Echoes of the Zariman, this new Slot allows you to make the most of your growing Arcane collection!

This new Arcane slot is only visible in the Operator Equipment screen once the Angels of the Zariman quest has been completed since Cavalero must be visited in the Chrysalith to get the Amp Arcane Adapter.

ARCANE STAT CHANGES PER RANK

We’ve adjusted the values of older Arcanes with the goal of making lower rank Arcanes more viable, and more desirable while collecting as a result. In short, there are three stats that each Arcane tends to have (speaking generally) -- for example, a percentage chance, a stat buff, and the duration of the buff.

Certain Arcanes increase all of these stats per rank (making them scale exponentially), but we are changing it so that only one stat is affected by rank (making it scale linearly). The other stats will now be at the max-rank value regardless of the Arcane Rank, thereby buffing lower-rank Arcanes as a result.

For example, using Arcane Fury.

• Previous:
  • The unranked values were as follows: “On Critical Hit: 10% chance for +30% Melee Damage to Melee Weapons for 3s”
  • The max rank values were as follows: “On Critical Hit: 60% chance for +180% Melee Damage to Melee Weapons for 18s”
• New:
  • With these changes, the unranked values are as follows: “On Critical Hit: 60% chance for +30% Melee Damage to Melee Weapons for 18s”
  • With these changes, the max rank values remain the same as before: “On Critical Hit: 60% chance for +180% Melee Damage to Melee Weapons for 18s”

This change mostly affects older Arcanes that don’t already fit this new formula (with the exception of Arcane Barrier*), as the majority of newer Arcanes already follow this system. The Arcanes listed below are formatted to showcase which stats have been changed from scaling to constant (with the old “Unranked” value in brackets), and which stats will still increase with rank, using the # / # format. For the sake of clarity, we are only sharing unranked and max rank stat values, not the incremental value changes for ranks between them.

*Arcane Barrier is the one true exception to the Arcane changes below, since it has two scaling stats, but one of those stats actually becomes worse with rank. Rank 3-4 for example increases the cooldown from 4s to 5s. So if we were to change it to have constant cooldown like the others, we would be increasing the cooldown duration for the lower ranks - which is something we want to avoid! Any other possible changes might have to alter how the Arcane works overall, so we ultimately decided to leave it untouched.

OPERATOR ARCANES

Emergence Dissipate
WHILE IN VOID SLING: Press the weapon firing input to dissipate the endpoint in a 10m (was 7.5m) radius. Enemies hit have a 100% (was 50%) chance to create a short lived Void Mote that replenishes 5/10 energy on pick up.

• We have also made the following changes to Emergence Dissipate:
  • Void Motes are no longer affected by ‘vortex’ abilities like Void Snare.
  • Added a 1.5 second delay between generating Void Mote from the same enemy.
    • Emergence Dissipate was conceptualized as a weaker alternative to Zenurik’s energy gain, but ended up being even stronger than the Energy-focused school in certain cases, going against the Focus rework goals of each school having a unique niche. The above changes also seek to maintain the original goals we had with Void Sling; to encourage a more controlled behavior instead of a spam-centric loop. The slight cooldown motivates more mindful gameplay, but with the benefit of the stat buffs it has received for lower levels.

MELEE / PRIMARY BALANCE CHANGES

Primary and Secondary Weapon Arcanes

We are going to start with the biggest change: You can now add Arcane Slots (name not final) to your Primary and Secondary weapons, and fill the Slots with new Arcanes that enhance and reward diverse gameplay.

Our entire approach to making Guns a comparable choice in your Arsenal orbits around the notion that Gunplay is fundamentally more varied than Melee: there are pinpoint accuracy guns, AOE guns, and high fire rate Guns (and everything in between). There’s reload times, magazine sizes, and more. We want to make these varied options better at what they do by rewarding you for using them well - thus, Arcanes!

Because the Gunplay falloff is more of a late-game problem, these new Upgrades will be earned through late-game content systems -- namely, the Steel Path. You’ll be able to get the Arcane Slot Unlockers from Steel Path Honors, whereas the Arcanes themselves drop from Acolytes in the Steel Path! The spawn frequency of Acolytes is also being increased, meaning you’ll get more Steel Essence, as well as more chances for the Arcane you want. All Acolytes will drop them!

There are 6 Arcanes (3 Primary, 3 Secondary) that you’ll be able to rank up and put to put into the new Slots:

PRIMARY:

The first Primary Arcane is designed with Primary weapons that perform well as AOE or high rate-of-fire weapons. This Arcane will reward kills with the following stats at Max rank:

PRIMARY MERCILESS
On Kill:
+30% Damage for 4s. Stacks up to 12x.
+30% Reload Speed
+100% Ammo Max

The more you kill, the more damage you can build up. Groovy!

The second Primary Arcane is designed with high precision weapons in mind. Make your Headshots count for greater performance (excluding AOE headshots)!:

PRIMARY DEADHEAD
On Headshot Kill:
120% Damage for 24s. Stacks up to 3x.
+30% to Headshot Multiplier.
-50% Weapon Recoil

The final Primary Arcane is designed with using your full loadout in mind, enter Melee synergy:

PRIMARY DEXTERITY
On Melee Kill:
+60% Damage for 20s. Stacks up to 6x.
+60% Holster Speed.
+7.5s Combo Duration.

SECONDARY:

Secondary Weapons will receive the same options as Primary Weapons for their Arcanes, but with their own version. In practice, you’d be able to equip yourself with a Precision Secondary like the Knell, a high-fire rate Primary like the Grakata, and select the Arcane that will reward each play style best!

The stats are the same for the Secondary versions of the New Arcanes:

SECONDARY MERCILESS
On Kill:
+30% Damage for 4s. Stacks up to 12x.
+30% Reload Speed
+100% Ammo Max

SECONDARY DEADHEAD
On Headshot Kill:
120% Damage for 24s. Stacks up to 3x.
+30% to Headshot Multiplier.
-50% Weapon Recoil

SECONDARY DEXTERITY
On Melee Kill:
+60% Damage for 20s. Stacks up to 6x.
+60% Holster Speed.
+7.5s Combo Duration.

Ultimately each Arcane stacks up to the same amount of damage, but it’s how you choose to get there that counts. Precision? Spray and Pray? Melee synergy? Your choice!

The “Arcane Adapters themselves are an item you’ll need to install on the weapons you want to take further, and you can find the Primary and Secondary Arcane Adapters in the Steel Path Honors. The Arcanes themselves drop from Acolytes on The Steel Path.

Hotfix 30.3.5 (2021-06-10)

Arcane Changes

After years of Arcanes as a system - with several additions to the offerings and replacement locations, we are doing several things:

• Removing the ability to Equip two of the same Arcane simultaneously.
• Added the ability to Distill assembled Arcanes back into multiple unranked ones.
• Arcanes that can trigger again while the Arcane is active are indicated in the Arcane Manager screen with a ‘Duration Can Refresh’ text.
• Arcanes will require 21 Arcanes to reach the new Max Rank of 5. Scarlet Spear will feature a buy-what-you-want shop for Arcanes based on the currency earned in the event. It will launch in March shortly after this Mainline.

Why: The reasoning here is mainly toward the ability to equip two of the same Arcane. This reasoning is one of past inconsistency and time determining intent. There are a lot of builds that specialize the use of two Arcanes, but we want to encourage a variety instead of duplication. Arcanes are the only Upgrade system in the game that allows two of the exact same upgrade to be equipped - and we would rather players have variety than duplications. In the same way you can’t equip Amalgam Serration and regular Serration, you can’t equip multiple Rivens per weapon, or any duplication of Mods at all, Arcanes will follow. But we are making major changes to the Ranking (up from 3 to 5 with power changes). Instead of having 2 of the same Arcane with a double effect, you can now choose between 2 different Arcanes that behave (generally) at 1.5x efficacy than before.

Fixes

• Fixed missing controller button callout to Rank up an Arcane in the Arcane Manager screen

POE / CETUS ECONOMY REMASTER LITE

With Fortuna's release, we applied some general economy changes based on takeaways from Cetus. Now that we have returned to Cetus and the Plains of Eidolon with a remaster, we are applying some 'Economy Remaster' changes to go with the changes in an effort to apply our continued learnings. Change is the name of the game - thank you for all feedback on our economies and for being receptive to change!

• Replaced Arcane Blueprints with Arcanes in Quills Offerings meaning that Arcanes no longer need to be built.
• Replaced Arcane Blueprints with Arcanes in Hok's Offerings meaning that Arcanes no longer need to be built.
  • Owned Magus, Exodia, and Virtuos Arcane Blueprints have been converted to full-crafted Arcanes.

• When Upgrading an Arcane, you can now do multiple Ranks in a single operation.
• The ‘NEXT RANK’ button will appear grayed out if you do not have the required amount of Arcanes to proceed to the next rank.
• Changed the Arcane Rank indicators to be Arcane icons instead of numbers.

Arcane System Overhaul

It’s been quite some time since we really dived back into Arcanes. Moving Arcanes to the Teralyst, Gantulyst and Hydrolyst was just the first step in a much bigger movement to improve the Arcane system that some Tenno might not even know exists.

If you need an Arcane refresher, this spoiler is for you!

What is an Arcane?

Previously: Arcanes are Enhancements that can be installed on certain equipment and cosmetic items to grant them buffs that can be activated by achieving certain conditions within a mission.

Currently: Arcanes are Enhancements that can be installed on your Warframe, Operator, Operator Amp, or Zaw to grant them buffs that can be activated by achieving certain conditions within a mission.

How do I get an Arcane?

As of Hotfix 22.13.2 (2018-02-16), Arcanes are rewards from defeating the Teralyst, Gantulyst, and Hydrolyst in the Plains of Eidolon.

How do I view my Arcanes?

The Arcane Manager screen can be accessed by going to your Foundry and clicking the ‘ARCANES’ button on the bottom right of your screen.

How do I Upgrade my Arcanes?

Having multiple of the same Arcane will allow you to Upgrade it (similar to Mods). Upon accessing your Arcane Manager screen, you will see the button to Upgrade your Arcane and the stats included when it is Upgraded:

Choosing to Upgrade your Arcane results in consuming said Arcanes:

Your newly Upgraded Arcane will now display it’s Upgraded status and option to continue to Upgrade:

What’s New/Changed

• Upon logging in, all Arcanes installed on Cosmetics/Helmets will be Distilled because Arcanes can no longer be installed on Cosmetics/Helmets.
  • Old Legacy Arcane Helmets will keep their Arcane installed but you can not equip the Legacy Arcane Helmet on a Warframe with 2 Arcanes already installed.
• Arcanes can only be installed on your Warframe, Operator, Operator Amp, or Zaw.
  • You can install 2 Arcanes per Warframe Operator and 1 on your Operator Amp, or Zaw.
• You can now trade Upgraded Arcanes!
• Arcanes have received a visual overhaul! Arcane Rarity now matches the style we use on Mods and Relics. Hopefully this is a much clearer representation of their Rarity than before.

• You can now search/sort within the Arcane Manager screen.
• You must be at least Mastery Rank 5 or have an Arcane owned if below Mastery Rank 5 to install an Arcane.

Hotfix 22.13.4 (2018-02-22)

Hotfix 22.13.2 (2018-02-16)

• Teralyst, Gantulyst and Hydrolyst now all drop Arcanes!
  • All 3 Teralysts have a 100% chance of dropping an Arcane.
  • The variety of Arcanes have been spread out across all 3 variants and weighted according to the rarity of the Arcane and difficulty of the Teralyst variant.
  • How you choose to defeat the Teralyst variants also attributes to the Arcane type/chance.
