Solstice 2022
What's New in Solstice?
The Last City of humanity is built, not from iron and stone, but from heroism and bravery. Join your fellow Guardians and remember those who stood in defence of our home. Eva Levante awaits you in the Tower with words of gratitude and the promise of celebration.
Solstice 2022 features:
- The European Aerial Zone location with a new Bonfire activity
- A new set of Solstice armour and vanity items
- New and returning items from Eververse
- A new Event Card system debuts with this event, providing ways of earning gear, cosmetic items and Event Tickets
- A new Seal to earn and gild
Armour Customization & Quick Tips
As explained by EveryPictureTells on the Destiny SubReddit:
- The Solstice event has 24 challenges. You get one upgrade point per challenge. Six points are needed to fully upgrade an armour slot. (Class items don’t upgrade.)
- The Solstice event also has two currencies. Currency 1 (leaves) comes from most activities, including playlists, public events, and Throne World stuff. The EAZ seasonal activity turns that into Currency 2 (ash). 120 ash is required to fully upgrade armour.
- Make sure you wear at least one piece of solstice armour to earn currencies.
- Once you fully upgrade a Solstice piece, other pieces in that slot no longer require upgrade points. They still cost 120 ash to upgrade though.
- The final upgrade for an armour piece allows choosing one stat to be +20. A ghost mod can allow a separate stat to be +10. This does not guarantee high overall stats.
- Challenges and armour slot upgrades track per character. Leaves and ash are account-wide.
- None of the upgrade info applies to class items or non-Solstice armour.
NOTES:
- This system makes for armour that is highly customizable but not necessarily “high-stat” per community consensus (~62+) or “spiky” (two 20+ stats).
- Armour cannot be rerolled once fully upgraded. Gotta upgrade a new Solstice piece instead (buy from Eva). Think of this as more involved umbral focusing, not the return of glass needles.
Solstice Seal & Gilding
- Starting with Solstice 2022, players can now complete a Solstice Seal, “Flamekeeper.“
- To complete this seal, you’ll need to complete all 24 event challenges offered by the Event Card.
- See Solstice: Event Card & Event Challenges for more information.
- A gilding option is available by completing the four additional challenges available in the Seal screen. Keep in mind though that these challenges are quite the grind!
- Completing the seal will also contribute toward the Event seal − Reveler − which is the culmination of all four Destiny Season Events.
Solstice: Event Card & Event Challenges
- Similar to Seasonal Challenges, Event Challenges will be available during the Solstice 2022 event that all players can work toward and complete to earn new loot including gear, shaders, emblems and unique event items called “Event Tickets”.
- Event Tickets provide access to additional rewards
- Access this Event card by visiting Eva Levante in the Tower Courtyard or via the Quests tab
- In addition to the event challenges, players can earn a new seal by completing their event card and contribute progress to a new Multi-event Seal. Players can also gild their seal!
- Players have until the end of the event to complete all Event Challenges
Upgraded Event Card Rewards
- Although Eververse is typically the primary source of cosmetic loot, the new Solstice Event will have a curated selection of cosmetic rewards available through the Event Card itself
- These rewards will only be available through the Event Card during their initial release but may be featured in the Eververse Store in the future
- Acquiring these extra cosmetic items will require players to purchase the upgraded Event Card, which costs 1000 Silver.
- Purchasing the upgraded event card immediately grants players an Exotic Reward Bundle!
- The Upgraded Event Card contains rewards equivalent to around 3000 Silver, though this may vary somewhat depending on future Event Cards
Unsure if you want to purchase the Upgraded Event Card? You can wait to purchase it later in the event to see how many Event Tickets you’ve accumulated!
Solstice Currency & Loot
- How to Obtain: Earn Silver Leaves by completing activities throughout the game while you have Candescent (Solstice 2022) armour equipped.
- Wearing a full set of Candescent armour will reward the most Silver Leaves.
- Harder activities will reward the most Silver Leaves.
- Purpose: Collect Silver Leaves. Once you have a good amount, launch into the Bonfire Bash. Stoke the bonfire (the more the better) to convert Silver Leaves into Silver Ash, which is what you need to upgrade Candescent armour.
- How to Obtain: Transform Silver Leaves into Silver Ash by completing the new activity: Bonfire Bash.
- It’s more effective to have a large amount of Silver Leaves!
- Purpose: Spend Silver Ash to reroll Candescent armour stats, which has a three-level tier:
- Glowing Embers
- Shining Embers
- Stat Sparks
- How to Obtain: Earn Kindling by completing Solstice Event Challenges.
- Purpose: Spend Kindling to upgrade your armour stat roll potential (high stat), each piece of armour can be upgraded three times (three tiers).
- You only need to do this once per armour slot. Every time you upgrade a piece of Solstice armour, 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.
- Glows can be acquired for your Candescent armour by fully rekindling an armour piece (aka by reaching Tier 3).
