Destiny 2 launched its annual Solstice event on 19 July, i.e., Solstice of Heroes 2022 which will end on August 9. This event gives all players a chance to acquire new armor with high stat rolls. But this time, Bungie has added the option to upgrade your armor without waiting for the perfect roll to drop.

Do We Need to Wear Solstice Armor in Destiny 2
Similar to the Halloween event, where guardians had to wear a mask to get candies, in Solstice, Guardians have to wear Candescent armor in order to receive Silver Leaves before jumping into any activity. The catch here is, that you need not wear the complete set, which means you can wear any one of the armor pieces like helmet, chest, arms, or legs. So wearing Candescent armor is necessary to receive Solstice 2022 resources which you can use to upgrade your armor.
Upgrading your armor requires three resources Silver Leaves, Silver ash, and Kinding. Acquiring these resources will require a lot of time and as we only have 20 days before Eva Levante closes her shop, you may wanna hurry. Silver ash can be earned by completing all kinds of basic activities as long as you are wearing the Solstice Candescent armor. These activities can include the vanguard or crucible playlist, as well as completing destination activities such as public events or Lost sectors.
The best and most efficient ways to farm this resource can be found in this guide How to quickly farm Silver Leaves in Destiny 2 – Solstice of Heroes
Once you have enough Silver leaves you can convert it to Silver ash which can be consumed to reroll your armor pieces.
