History of Solstice Forge

Overview

The Solstice Forge is where Eva Levante in The Tower lets Guardians forge Solstice Armor during Solstice of Heroes. Speaking to Eva starts the introductory quest and, in 2025, grants a base set of Lustrous armor.

Solstice 2025

• Each armor piece costs 100 Solstice Alloy, earned from Portal activities with Solstice modifiers: 25 from Solo Ops, 32 from Fireteam Ops, 56 from Pinnacle Ops and 15 or more from Crucible.
• Glow upgrades cost 50 Alloy per piece; the upgrade item is reported as an Iridescent Ingot or an Incandescent Ingot (2025).

Earlier years

Earlier years used a different loop: Silver Leaves become Silver Ash through Bonfire Bash, and Kindling lets armor be rerolled up to three times. The Solstice systems change each year.
