Destiny 2 kicked off with its annual event called Solstice of Heroes. Solstice allows players to get high stat roll armors and is especially useful for new players who don’t have many high stat armors. Acquiring these high-end gear requires you to engage in endgame activities such as Raids, Master Nightfall, Grandmaster Nightfall, and dungeons.
On top of that, Bungie reworked their annual event and now it also gives you the option to upgrade your Solstice armor by rerolling its stats with the desired perks using multiple resources such as Kindling, silver Leaves, and Silver Ash.
Kindling is the most crucial and difficult to get hold of as these are limited and are tied to 24 challenges which can take quite a while. So by exploiting this bug, you will be able to upgrade your armor without Kindling

If you are reading this guide right before starting the Solstice event, then follow these steps to make most of the resources.
Play the Solstice quest on a Character you barely use
Now, this may sound confusing, but hear me out. There seems to be a bug in the event which lets you upgrade your gear without kindling if you have fully kindled your armor on another character at least once.
Make up your mind about what you need
Check your main character gear and note down what stat you need the most and which armor piece is required such as helm, arms, chest, or legs.
Unlock at least 6 kindling on the alternate character
By unlocking six Kindling, you will be able to fully kindle an armor piece. And with 24 kindling you can fully kindle all of them
Upgrade armor of the alternate character
Fully Kindly the armor pieces you need the most but on the alternate character.
Switch to your Main Character
Depending on what armor piece you have upgraded(helm, arms, chest, or legs). Select the armor piece you wish to upgrade, now click on the last slot and use silver ash to reroll the stats twice, and then finally fully kindle it which won’t require any additional Kindling.
In short, You simply need to upgrade armor on any one character and depending on the armor piece you have upgraded, you will be able to upgrade all the character armor simply by using Silver Ash.
