In Diablo 4 Season 8, players are introduced to a new reputation system, a valuable resource for Resplendent Spark farming. This guide will outline the best and fastest methods/tips to get Resplendent Sparks to improve efficiency.
Resplendent Sparks are rare, glowing blue crystals in Diablo 4 that are used for crafting Mythic Unique items, the most powerful gear in the game, and can also be used to upgrade existing equipment.
1. Unveiler's Oath Reputation
In Diablo 4 Season 8: Belial's Return, a new way is introduced to farm Resplendent Sparks in the game. You can use the Unveiler's Oath reputation system, start by completing the main campaign, and creating a Seasonal character. Speak to the "Stranger" NPC in Kyovashad to begin the "Lord of Lies" questline, and after finishing the quest "A Shop of Curios," the Unveiler's Oath will be unlocked. You can increase your reputation by participating in Apparition Incursion Events, where you defeat waves of enemies to summon bosses and ultimately Belial, earning both reputation and Spectral Ash. Additionally, defeat revamped Lair Bosses like Urivar and Harbinger of Hate for reputation gains, engage in relevant Seasonal quests, and utilize Seasonal Blessings like the Urn of Oaths to boost reputation earned. Upon reaching reputation rank 18, you will receive a Resplendent Cache containing a Resplendent Spark and other valuable rewards.
2. Salvaging Mythic Uniques
Salvaging Mythic Unique items at the Blacksmith returns one Resplendent Spark. However, this process is irreversible, so ensure it's not a Mythic Unique you plan to use for your build.
3. Defeating Tormented Bosses
Each season, defeating your first Tormented Uber Boss guarantees a Resplendent Spark. Among all Tormented Bosses, Duriel and Andariel have the highest chances of dropping Mythic Unique items, making them optimal choices for farming Resplendent Sparks. Mythic Unique items have a very low drop rate from Tormented Bosses and only appear in Torment 1 or higher difficulty. You will need to spend specific materials to summon these bosses, which can be acquired from endgame modes like Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide, and the Undercity.
Best and Fastest Ways to Farm Resplendent Sparks
The reputation farming method will guarantee a spark as the rank-18 reward. How to increase the drops during a period of time or speed up the farming? This method is advantageous because it is repeatable and efficient, enabling players to level a new character and gain reputation quickly without relying on boss materials. So you can repeat the process and get multiple Resplendent Sparks.
1. Prepare Your Main Character
Ensure you have a strong main character capable of farming Torment difficulties. Move all gear from this character into your stash for later use.
2. Create a New Character
Log out and create a new character of the same class as your main. Level this new character to 60, ideally with the help of a friend for a quick boost, or use whisper caches for experience.
3. Gear Up Your New Character
Once at level 60, retrieve the gear you stored in your stash and equip it on your new character. Allocate skill points and paragon points, but skip glyph leveling for efficiency.
4. Optimize Reputation Gains
Allocate Smoldering Ashes to increase reputation gains from boss kills. Complete the seasonal quest line until you unlock the seasonal board.
5. Farm Reputation Efficiently
Obtain infernal horde compasses (aim for four 10-wave compasses). Enter the infernal hordes and prioritize killing Aether Lords and selecting Aetheric Mass choices to maximize reputation. Each infernal horde can yield around 50,000 reputation.
6. Claim Your Resplendent Spark
After completing the reputation farming, return to the seasonal board to claim your rewards, including the Resplendent Spark. This process can be repeated by creating new characters, allowing for continuous farming without relying on RNG.
