There’s a new buff called Firebound that gives you increased Recovery and Super Regen when close to allies.

Also, when you kill the carriers they drop 3 balls that you barely have enough time to throw 2 let alone 3.

Seems like Bungie wants us to run together this year instead of sitting in a corner camping enemy spawns.

    Is there a scaling benefit to wearing n+1 pieces of Solstice armor to getting leaves, outside of the event triumphs requiring a full set? For example, if I only wear just the class item and patrol a Heroic EDZ public event, will I get the same amount of leaves for wearing only one piece vs. wearing all 5?

      Wearing all 5 I seem to get a few more silver leaves than my friends wearing one. For a full altar of sorrows I was getting between 3-6 more leaves than my friends just wearing one.

      The big difference is when converting the leaves to ashes in the bonfire bashes at max ignitions you get 20 ashes per piece of solstice armor equipped.

      FYI For really quick silver leaves with a fireteam and some weapon leveling you can load into the first lightfall mission from the classic replay icon and go all the way to the end. When you get to the drop pods have no one get in and one person switch characters and rejoin and then everyone get in the drop pods and you hit the ground the person that left can reload the checkpoint and everyone rejoin. you’re at the drop pods and can repeat. 15 silver leaves per run wearing 5 pieces + 12% weapon level per run. Won’t be surprised if Bungie eventually patches that or disables it somehow

      No idea. I was wondering that myself. I think you just need to have the armor equipped when the activity completes to get the mats though.

      So ideally set up a loadout and just switch to it before the activity ends.

        Alters of Sorrow full run (tier 1 to 5) just netted me about 20 leaves wearing only the class item, which isn’t bad when there are 5 people in there with you as it goes fast. Might be a good time to level crafted weapons and farm leaves, and it got me 2 of the triumphs for kindling real quick while playing with Osteo (rapid kills).

          Thanks for your service.

          I was wondering if we have a crafted weapon bonus during solstice like we did durning the dawning.
