Silver Leaves are a new currency introduced in Destiny 2 2023 during the Solstice event. They are used to create Silver Ash, which can kindle your Sunlit armor and unlock unique glows that change depending on your subclass. This article will explain how to earn Silver Leaves, upgrade your armor, and some tips and tricks to make the most of the Solstice event.
What Are Silver Leaves and How to Get Them?
Silver Leaves are a type of Solstice Ember that can be earned by completing any activity in Destiny 2 while wearing Sunlit armor. You get This armor from Eva Levante in the Tower when you start the Solstice event. You can also get Silver Leaves by completing some of the quests that Eva gives you during the event.
The amount of Silver Leaves you get depends on your activity and the number of Sunlit armor pieces you have equipped. For example, completing a core playlist activity such as Crucible, Gambit or Vanguard Ops will give you five Silver Leaves, while completing a Public Event will give you three or four.
You will also get more Silver Leaves if you wear the full Sunlit set than only one piece. Some of the best activities to farm Silver Leaves are:
- Core playlist activities: These are consistent and rewarding, especially Crucible which is the fastest and gives you Silver Leaves regardless of how long the match takes or whether you win or lose.
- Bonfire Bash: This is the new activity in the European Aerial Zone (EAZ) where you have to ignite and build a massive bonfire by killing enemies and collecting their Kindling. You can also earn Silver Ash by doing this activity, which we will explain later.
- Seasonal activities: These include Salvage, Terminal Overload on Neptune, Override, and Expunge. These are fun and easy to complete and also give you seasonal rewards such as Decrypted Data and Umbral Engrams.
What Are Silver Ash and How to Use Them?
Silver Ash is another type of Solstice Ember that can be used to kindle your Sunlit armor. You can get Silver Ash by converting your Silver Leaves at the end of a Bonfire Bash activity in the EAZ. The conversion rate is not 1-to-1, so you will need about 20 Silver Leaves to get 40 Silver Ash, which is needed to kindle one piece of armor.
To kindle your armor, go to your character menu and inspect your Sunlit armor. You can apply your Silver Ash to upgrade your armor stat roll potential in the Solstice Embers mod slot.
You can choose from six stat focuses Mobility, Resilience, Recovery, Discipline, Intellect or Strength. You can also choose a random stat distribution if you prefer. The changes are permanent and shared across all Sunlit pieces for that armor slot, but only for your current class.
Understanding the Importance of Silver Ash in Bonfire Bash:
Players who do not create enough Silver Ash on their first completion of Bonfire Bash will need to earn more Silver Leaves and repeat the activity until they earn enough to proceed. Players should also ensure they wear the full Solstice armor set for the duration of the activity.

How to Upgrade Your Armor and Make It Glow?
The Sunlit armor has three tiers of upgrades: Candescent, Luminous, and Magnificent. To upgrade your armor from Candescent to Luminous, you must complete a set of objectives for each piece involving activities such as Strikes, Gambit, Crucible, Nightfalls, Raids, and Dungeons.
You can check the objectives by hovering over the armor piece in your inventory. To upgrade your armor from Luminous to Magnificent, you must complete another set of more challenging objectives requiring higher Power levels.
These include completing Grandmaster Nightfalls, Master Empire Hunts, Master Lost Sectors, and Trials of Osiris matches. Once you have upgraded your armor to Magnificent, you can unlock a unique glow for each piece by completing one final objective that involves using different subclasses in different activities, such as Arc abilities in Strikes or Solar abilities in Crucible.
The glows will change color depending on your subclass: blue for Arc, orange for Solar, and purple for Void. You can also buy universal ornaments from Eververse that will make your armor glow white regardless of your subclass.
