How to access the Dark Refractory after The Old Peace in Warframe

The Old Peace has arrived, and if you have wrapped up the story quest already, you might be wondering what to do next. Your next stop should be the Dark Refractory, but it is not populating for all players, and we’ve figured out why.

How to access the Dark Refractory after The Old Peace in Warframe

To access the Dark Refractory and the two modes it contains, Descendia and The Perita Rebellion, you will need to complete The Old Peace. It is also possible to skip this quest using the new mission preview feature. This is designed to let newer Warframe players jump into these later game modes with their friends.

Important: If you have played The Old Peace story question, but the option does not appear at your Navigation console, replay the message from The Lotus in your Inbox in the Communications menu. You must listen to this all the way to the end to finish The Old Peace fully; do not cancel out of the message early.

Some important details on the mission preview feature:

• Players must have completed The Teacher quest before they can use Mission Preview.
• Mission Preview players cannot publicly matchmake into Dark Refractory missions if they are below Mastery Rank 10.
• Mission Preview players do not have access to The Devil’s Triad vendors, new Protoframe KIM chats, or any other Quest-locked content outside of the two new gamemodes (with the exception of Focus School access in The Perita Rebellion, as a preventative measure for potential issues that could arrive from Mission Preview players not having Operators).
