"The Iron Banner calls Guardians to prove themselves in the Crucible. Their emissary waits in the Tower to reward those who excel."
— Event summary
The Iron Banner

The Iron Banner is a Crucible event, watched over by Lord Saladin.

Gameplay

Unlike normal Crucible matches, where gear is leveled to make an even playing field, having the best gear matters in the Iron Banner. Therefore, gear acquisition and selection is crucial before entering the event.[1] A Guardian's level will also affect the outcome.[2]

The next Iron Banner event will be held 2/17/15 to 2/24/15. In this version new exclusive reward armor will be raised to level 32, but still with only two available slots. Saladin will offer players the opportunity to re-forge any Iron Banner weapon, including those from the previous event. This will re-roll any upgrades and reset progression. Each re-forge costs a few Motes of Light. Saladin will also offer a 12 hour buff called "Tempered," which will boost Iron Banner reputation gains. As the week goes forward, this boost will be increasingly potent, to help players starting later in the week to catch up. It is expected that in future Iron Banners these bonuses will be further refined.[3]
