When The Old Peace update arrived, it introduced a wide range of new content, including several new Arcanes designed to expand how players build and optimize their gear.
These Arcanes are obtained through a newly added NPC from the update and are purchased using a dedicated currency earned through the related game mode.
Depending on which Arcanes fit your weapons or Warframes, many of them are worth farming, as they directly enhance damage, status effects, and overall combat performance.
How To Get The Old Peace Arcanes?
The Arcanes introduced in The Old Peace can be purchased from Roathe, who is located at La Cathédrale within the Sanctum Anatomica.
La Cathédrale becomes accessible after completing The Old Peace quest, which unlocks Roathe as the vendor for all Arcanes tied to this update.
Each Arcane costs Maphica, a currency earned from The Descendia activity, which is accessed through the Dark Refractory after finishing The Old Peace quest.
List of All Arcanes From The Old Peace
Below is a list of all the Arcanes at Rank 5 and their effects, which may all be purchased from Roathe using Maphica. (Find him in La Cathédrale, Sanctum Anatomica)
Warframe Arcanes
- Arcane Expertise – 100% of Ability Strength modifiers are also applied to Max Shields
- Arcane Persistence – Remove all Shields. If Armor is above 700: Cannot be hit for more than 500 Damage/s. Magnetic Status and Ability Nullifying Effects disable this protection.
- Arcane Circumvent – Roll through enemies to steal 50% of their defenses for yourself. Stolen armor lasts 15 seconds.
- Arcane Concentration – On Ability Cast: Gain 60% Ability Duration.
Primary Arcanes
- Primary Bulwark – Gain +1% damage for each unit of armor past 1,000, up to a max of +500%
- Primary Overcharge – While at or above 90% Energy: Gain 35% of Max Energy as Multishot, capped at 350%
- Primary Debilitate – If an enemy has 10 stacks of a combined Status Effect, inflicting the same Status Effect gain has a 100% chance to inflict one of the base Status Effects it is composed of.
Secondary Arcanes
- Secondary Irradiate – On hitting enemies afflicted by 10 stacks of Radiation: Deal 180% of the hit damage to enemies within 7 meters.
Melee Arcanes
- Melee Careen – Gain 2.50x Melee Damage against Frozen Enemies. On Roll: Freeze enemies in a 5.5-meter radius with a 2-second cooldown.
Descendia Arcane Collection
The Descendia Arcane Collection is a purchasable item from Roathe that uses Ignia instead of Maphica, offering an alternate way to obtain The Old Peace Arcanes.
Ignia is earned exclusively through The Descendia activity and functions as a secondary currency tied to this mode, specifically intended for random Arcane acquisition.
Buying the Descendia Arcane Collection grants three random Arcanes from The Old Peace Arcane pool, making it useful for expanding collections without targeting specific Arcanes.
How To Farm Maphica and Ignia?
Maphica and Ignia are obtained in The Descendia activity, which is available from the Dark Refractory that becomes unlocked after completing The Old Peace quest.
During the activity, you can get your hands on Maphica by destroying containers or progressing to other levels of The Descendia.
Defeating bosses, progressing to other levels, and destroying containers is your best option, and several runs should provide you with tons of Ignia and Maphica to spend on Arcanes.
Verdict
The Old Peace Arcanes add meaningful options for boosting damage, survivability, and status effects, making them valuable for a wide range of builds.
All Arcanes are obtainable through The Descendia via Maphica or Ignia, giving players a reliable way to expand their collection without excessive RNG.
Focusing on these Arcanes is worth the effort, as they enhance combat performance and provide long-term benefits for both new and veteran Tenno.
