Previously known as Solstice of Heroes, it once again provides unique armour with three tiers of upgrades to unlock - with the challenges required to do so changing. Meanwhile, Elemental Orbs are also no more. The centerpiece location - the EAZ - has also been given a revamp, tying in closer with how you unlock and upgrade your armor pieces. Elsewhere, there’s the usual Tower makeover, new Eververse items, several new resources to earn and another new weapon to unlock, Something New, alongside the return of Compass Rose. In other words, plenty to keep you busy until the event concludes. On this page:
How does Solstice armor work in 2022?
Solstice has seen a complete overhaul compared to previous years, and though there are new resources to earn and manage, with armour tasks moving from individual armour pieces to a series of event challenges, it’s still the same grind. The end result is the same, however - giving you an armor set with powerful stats, and the ability to add glows with enough time and effort. Additionally, there is now a more way to focus on the stats you like - and it’s easier to purchase new armour pieces if they aren’t to your liking. First, play the opening ‘Celebrating Solstice’ quest (see the next section for specific steps) to collect your first Candescent Armour set and learn how to collect Silver Leaves, Silver Ash and Kindling. You can then upgrade the armour like so: This means for each armour piece, you must spend a total of six Kindling and 120 Silver Ash for a full upgrade. Though you cannot re-roll these pieces, you can purchase new armour pieces from Eva Levante for 100 Silver Ash each if you want a new roll attempt. Though you’ll have to spend the Silver Ash again to fully upgrade, the Kindling unlocks will remain on that specific armour type.
Celebrating Solstice quest steps
To unlock the ability to use Kindling on Candescent Armour, you must complete the Celebrating Solstice quest and unlock event challenges. First, visit Eva Levante in the Tower to start the quest and receive your Candescent Armour. The eight quest steps are as follows, copied verbatium from the in-game quest log: Your reward for this is not only the ability to apply Kindling, and in turn Glowing Embers / spend Silver Ash, but also 4x Silver Leaves and the ‘A Guardian in Shining Armour’ quest.
