What Are Arcanes?
An arcane is essentially an enchantment that you can apply to a helmet or a syandana
How To Obtain an Arcane
In order to obtain one of the many arcanes available within the game you must complete a raid, however, upon completion of a raid you will get a random arcane reward and you must get 10 of the same arcane in order to have 1 full set.
What Are Raids
Raid, not to be confused with the retired game mode Raid, are a specially designed set of missions, along with specifically modified tilesets and functions, often with unique mechanics and obstacles not found in any other missions. Trial missions are significantly more difficult and complex than the rest of the mission types, featuring significantly higher enemy levels and special mission modifiers. To this end, players can form a tandem squad of eight players to even the odds of completion. Should they wish for an additional challenge, players can also form a squad with fewer members, four players minimum. Trial missions will automatically fail if there are fewer than four players present in the squad. In order to begin a Raid, you must purchase a blueprint to craft the key which can be purchased from the market for 100,000 credits. The key will be used upon entering the mission so must be crafted for each Raid attempt.
The available Raids currently in the game are The Law of Retribution and The Jordas Verdict

Applying an Arcane
To apply an arcane once you have gotten one you want you will head over to your foundry in your ship and click arcane in the bottom right of your screen. Next, select your arcane you want to apply and what helmet or syandana you would like to apply it to and install. When you obtain more of the same arcane and wish to upgrade it head back over to this section and go to the install tab and you'll see a similar screen to below.
You will now click on the arcane item you want to upgrade and click on the upgrade button(where it says arcane maxed) and it will be done just like that. As you can see there are 4 ranks total for a maxed arcane. 1/1 being the initial install of the arcane on an item followed up by needing 2 more to upgrade to 3/3, 3 more to upgrade again to 6/6 and then 4 more to upgrade again to 10/10. You can only have one arcane on an item at any given time.
How To Remove An Arcane
If for any reason you wish to remove an arcane from an item whether it is to remove it or to move it to another item. In order to remove an arcane you must first purchase an arcane distiller from any of the syndicates.
After obtaining yourself an arcane distiller head on over to the foundry and go to arcanes in the bottom right as if you were going to install a new arcane. Click on the install tab and select the arcane you wish to remove and hit the distill arcane button. Upon removal, you will receive all the arcanes you put into the item back into your inventory to apply to another item or to sell to another player.
