Working out how to earn Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4 can be a bit confusing, especially since Blizzard has changed the game quite a bit since this rare resource originally appeared. If you didn't know, you can use Resplendent Sparks to craft Mythic Uniques—what Uber Uniques are called nowadays—but you can only get a limited number via certain endgame activities.

You can also dismantle Mythic Uniques that you've been lucky enough to receive through drops, though these uniques are so powerful now this is inadvisable unless you happen to have spares knocking around. While it's a lot cheaper to craft a Mythic Unique now in terms of sparks—it only costs two instead of four—they are a lot harder to get. All that said, here are all of the ways you can get Resplendent Sparks in the Season of Hatred Rising, plus how Mythic Unique crafting works. 

How to get Resplendent Sparks

There are currently four different ways to get Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4:

  • Get one Resplendent Spark from the Destroyer's Cache; a reward for completing the 7th and final level of the Season Journey in the Season of Hatred Rising
  • Defeat the Echo of Lilith boss for the first time on Torment difficulty to get one spark
  • Get one by defeating your first Tormented Echo boss on T4 difficulty once per season
  • Salvage any Mythic Unique at the blacksmith to get one spark

It's sadly a lot harder to get Resplendent Sparks now, especially when you used to be able to repeat the Iron Wolves reputation track to get them with multiple characters in a previous season. Now, your best bet for getting sparks is defeating Lilith on Torment difficulty and by completing the Season Journey to get the Destroyer's Cache. 

As a reminder, Mythic 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
  • Heir of Perdition
  • Shroud of False Death
  • Shattered Vow
  • Nesekem, The Herald

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 Mythic Unique you salvage—the spark itself will show up in the salvaged resources listed for dismantling it.

The good news is that you only need two Resplendent Sparks to craft a Mythic Unique now, though you'll also require 50 million gold, and some runes if you want a specific one. You can either visit the jeweler to get a specific Mythic Unique, or the blacksmith if you want to purchase a cache containing a random one.
