The yearly summertime event armor that can be improved in Season of the Haunted is now available in Destiny 2 as part of the Solstice 2022 event. Solstice is a celebration of the rebirth and reignition of the fiery spirit that shines through every Guardian. It takes place after the completion of the Season 17 story material. Guardians will get their initial set of Solstice armor, hosted by Eva Levante, in the Tower. Here is how you can upgrade the Solstice Armor in Destiny 2.
Upgrading the Solstice Armor in Destiny 2
There are eight phases in the Celebrating Solstice quest that must be finished to upgrade the Candescent armor. Equip the entire set of armor after getting it from Eva to advance the questline and finally reach their first Event Challenge.
The Season of the Haunted weekly set will not contain any Solstice challenges. But, as the quest advances, Guardians can unlock Event Challenges. These will allow them to gain the Kindling necessary to upgrade Destiny 2’s Solstice Armor.
To get their initial shipment of Silver Leaves, Guardians will need to talk with Eva Levante as they go through the mission. By engaging with the stoked campfire after the Bonfire Bash action, you can transform these leaves into Silver Ash.
After completing the first Event Challenge, Guardians can add the Small Kindling to their armor. They can also upgrade the armor by imbuing a Glowing Ember once they add the Small Kindling.

You can upgrade the stats of each item of the Solstice Armor by acquiring more Kindling and using more and more Silver Ash. While wearing the Candescent armor, Guardians may complete the Vanguard, Gambit, and Crucible activities in Destiny 2 to earn extra Silver Leaves. Players can convert these into more Silver Ash through the Bonfire Bash activity.
Guardians can also earn Silver Leaves through other activities such as Public Events, Lost Sectors, and others. To fully upgrade the Solstice armor, you must keep completing the Event Challenges for more Kindling.
Destiny 2 is available on PC, IOS, Android, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 platforms.
