New Approach to Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4: Belial's Return!
Unraveling the Pathway to Acquire Radiant Flames in Diablo 4
May 1, 2025: Here's the lowdown on bagging those sweet, sweet Resplendent Sparks in the latest Season 8: Belial's Return update for Diablo 4. Gather 'round, mates, and let's dive right in!
Acquiring Resplendent Sparks in the current state of Diablo 4 might leave you scratching your head, given the changes in the game since this sought-after resource first made its debut. So, if you didn't know, you can employ these bad boys to craft Mythic Uniques (formerly known as Uber Uniques), but you'll only obtain a restricted quantity via endgame activities.
It used to take four Resplendent Sparks to create one of these powerful items, but that's no longer the case. The cost of crafting and the number of methods available to net you the resource have been reduced. They no longer drop from the old Tormented bosses, for instance.
One of the best ways to secure Resplendent Sparks now is simply by dismantling any Mythic Uniques that may have graced your lucky drops. However, these uniques are so potent that it's not usually wise to dismantle them unless you happen to have spares lying around. As it now stands, it's far less expensive to create a Mythic Unique, requiring only two Resplendent Sparks instead of four.
So, let's dive into all the ways you can get your hands on some Resplendent Sparks in Season 8: Belial's Return, along with a rundown of how Mythic Unique crafting works.
Here's the deal: How to score Resplendent Sparks
Currently, there are four unique ways to nab some Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4:
- Achieve tier 18 on the Unveiler's Oath reputation board in Season 8 and grab the Resplendent Cache containing 1 Spark.
- Accomplish all the challenges in the Destroyer tier's Season Journey to earn 1 Spark at the end.
- Slay the Echo of Lilith boss for the first time on Torment difficulty for 1 Spark.
- Dismantle any Mythic Unique at the Blacksmith to receive 1 Spark.
It's a rougher road to Resplendent Sparks these days, especially when you could previously run the Iron Wolves reputation track multiple times with various characters to net more in a previous season. But the good news is that the reduction in the number of Resplendent Sparks required to craft a Mythic Unique (now 2 instead of 4) balances things out.
Just remember that given the rarity of these goodies, you should only dismantle any duplicates or weaker rolls of each Mythic Unique you have, while keeping at least one for yourself for the end of the season when your gear transfers to the Eternal Realm. You'll receive 1 Resplendent Spark for every Mythic Unique you dismantle – just keep an eye out for the spark among the salvaged resources when you dismantle it.
The best part is that you now only need two Resplendent Sparks to craft a Mythic Unique, though you'll also require 50 million gold, and some runes if you fancy a specific one. You can either visit the jeweler for a specific Mythic Unique or the Blacksmith to score a cache containing a random one.
Now, what about those Diablo 4 boss loot tables, unique items, Altar of Lilith locations, and top RPGs? Stay tuned for more sick info, mates!
