A handful of Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4 lets you make a specific Uber Unique, the most powerful items in the game. Tyrael's Might, for example, practically turns you into an impervious tank. Probability being what it is means you might not get the right Uber Unique by slaying bosses like Duriel and Andariel over and over. Luckily, with some effort, it's possible for everyone to earn enough Resplendent Sparks every season to make an Uber Unique of your choice.
For those familiar with gacha games, it's quite similar to a pity currency; you don't get the right drop, but it still contributes to you eventually getting the item you want. The good news is that there are new ways to get Resplendent Sparks this season, too, letting you build towards crafting an Uber. All that said, here's how to get Resplendent Sparks plus a run through of how the process works.
How to get Resplendent Sparks
There are currently four different ways to get Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4:
- Reach reputation rank 20 with the Mother's Gift in the Season of the Infernal Hordes (season 5) and claim the 'Greater Triune Arms Cache' to get one spark
- Defeat a Tormented Echo boss for the first time each season to get one spark
- Defeat the Echo of Lilith boss for the first time on Torment world tier to get one spark
- Salvage any Uber Unique at the blacksmith to get one spark
The easiest of these three options is maxing out your rank with the Mother's Gift reputation in Zarbinzet by doing the Infernal Hordes seasonal activity. This is actually repeatable on alt characters, too, meaning if you're levelling multiple classes, you can claim a Resplendent Spark for each.
Your other options are defeating your first Tormented Echo boss. These are level 200 versions of regular bosses that you summon at their altars for three times the regular material cost plus a Stygian Stone. You can also beat the Uber Lilith boss for a spark. Lastly, you can salvage any spare Uber Uniques you have.
As a reminder, Uber Uniques are:
- Doombringer
- The Grandfather
- Andariel's Visage
- Melted Heart of Selig
- Ring of Starless Skies
- Harlequin Crest
- Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander
- Tyrael's Might
Of course, since these are so rare, you should only dismantle any spare copies of each that you have, while keeping at least one for yourself for when the season ends and your gear transfers to the Eternal Realm. You get one Resplendent Spark for every one Uber Unique you salvage—the spark itself will show up in the salvaged resources listed for dismantling it.
Once you have four Resplendent Sparks and 50 million gold, head to any alchemist, and they'll exchange them for a shiny new Uber Unique of your choice in the Transmutation section. This will let you craft one you don't have yet. It might also be worth saving your sparks since presumably any future Uber Uniques will be added to this pool. If there's one you really want all of a sudden, you'll be able to grab it at the alchemist straight away vs. having to grind bosses for it.
