If you’ve ever wanted to chase down specific armor rolls, Solstice is your time to shine! Want a 100 Resilience build? You got it. Need a new armor set for Nightfalls, Crucible, and Gambit? We’ve got you covered. And with a little luck, maybe you’ll get the god-roll you’ve been waiting for! 

 

Upgrading your Solstice armor requires finding and spending new event currencies. Here’s what you should be looking for. 

 

SOLSTICE ARMOR UPGRADING CURRENCIES 

• Silver Leaves 
  • • Earn Silver Leaves by completing activities throughout the game. 
• Silver Ash 
  • • Transform Silver Leaves into Silver Ash by completing the new activity: Bonfire Bash. 
    • Spend Silver Ash to reroll armor stats from the armor mod screen. 
• Kindling 
  • • Earn Kindling by completing Solstice Event Challenges. 
    • Spend Kindling to upgrade your armor stat roll potential, each piece of armor can be upgraded three times (three tiers). 
    • You only need to do this once per armor slot. Every time you upgrade a piece of Solstice armor, it is permanent and shared across all pieces for that slot. So, if you upgrade a helmet all the way to Tier 3, every Solstice helmet currently in your inventory and any future helmets you earn for that class can now access Tier 3 stat rerolls. 

So, let’s break this down: 

• Complete Event Challenges to earn Kindling.
• Use Kindling to permanently upgrade your Solstice armor stat roll potential.
  • • 
• Complete a wide variety of activities throughout the game to earn Silver Leaves. 
• Complete the Solstice Activity, Bonfire Bash, to transform Silver Leaves into Silver Ash. 
• Use Silver Ash to reroll armor stats from the armor mod screen.
• Keep earning and spending Silver Ash to reroll armor to get the stats you want. 
• Once you’ve fully rerolled stats on a piece of armor, pick up a new piece for the same slot to start rerolling stats again. 

The new Solstice armor sets feature both free and paid glows like previous years. And just like last year, fully upgrading a piece of armor, with kindling, will cause it to glow. 

 

 

Once your armor is all nice and shiny, you gain access to high-stat rolls focusing on a stat (or two) of your choice. 

 

 

Alright, that’s everything you need to know about Solstice armor upgrading. Check out the event next week to discover everything Solstice has to offer and get ready to build your perfect armor set!
