Iron Banner

The Iron Banner is a limited time Crucible event. Unlike normal Crucible matches, level advantages are enabled, meaning that weapons with higher attack ratings do more damage, armor with higher defense ratings resist more damage, and Guardians whose light level is higher take less damage from those whose light level is lower. Guardians must be at least level 20 or in a fireteam led by Guardian of at least level 20 to participate.

During the event, Lord Saladin appears in the Tower. His stock includes new shaders, emblems, and high-end weapons and armor, which can be purchased for Glimmer, given that the Guardian's Iron Banner rank is high enough. He offers Iron Banner bounties which give points towards a Guardian's Iron Banner rank and offers a reforging service which will randomly change the perks on any of the Iron Banner weapons at a cost of 2 Motes of Light and all experience invested in the weapon until that point.

Reputation
All Iron Banner reputation is reset upon completion of the event and must be reacquired during the next event. The table below outlines the reputation progression, as well as which items will be unlocked for purchase at each rank:

In addition to the Tempering buff, wearing the event-specific Emblems, Shaders, Bonds, Marks, or Cloaks will each add a 10% bonus to reputation earned from matches or bounties.
