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, dropped by Portal activities with Solstice modifiers: 25 from Solo Ops, 32 from Fireteam Ops, 56 from Pinnacle Ops and 15 or more from Crucible.
• Spending 50 alloys per piece on an Iridescent Ingot adds the glowing cosmetic upgrade (TheGamer). Another guide describes Solstice Keepsakes for the glow, so details differ between summaries.

Earlier years

GameRant's older guide describes a different loop: Silver Leaves become Silver Ash through Bonfire Bash, and Kindling lets armor be rerolled up to three times. The existing Solstice Armor page mentions Incandescent Ingots for the Sublime set. The Solstice systems change each year, so check the year in question.
