Diablo 4 Resplendent Sparks are a crafting material that was introduced last season, and they're highly sought-after due to the immense power they hold. With enough of them obtained, players finally have the chance to craft their choice of an extremely rare Uber Unique, without being tied to the usual RNG grind for obtaining Diablo 4 Uniques. Naturally, with such a significant reward on offer this is a difficult process to complete in Diablo 4, but the end goal of owning that special equipment will make it worth the effort. To find out more, here's how to get Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4 and what you need to do with them afterwards to collect your reward.
How to get Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4
Because they provide such an important outcome when used, you're going to have to work hard in order to get Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4 – items that powerful don't tend to be found just lying around, sadly. In the previous season you could get one by earning enough Diablo 4 Wolf's Honor, but as that is no longer available there are currently three methods of obtaining this rare crafting material, which I'll explain below:
1. Defeat Uber Lilith for the first time
Uber Lilith is found via the Echo of Hatred in Fracture Peaks, and can only be accessed after completing the main story at least once and reaching World Tier 4. This is an extremely difficult boss fight, so you should aim to be at least Level 90 and spec your build accordingly before taking her on, but the first time you defeat her this season will award a Resplendent Spark. This is account-limited so you can only do it once, regardless of how many characters you have.
2. Defeat a Tormented Boss for the first time
Tormented versions of endgame bosses can be summoned in World Tier 4, by using an increased amount of summoning material on their altar combined with the Stygian Stones that are earned deep within The Pit. These bosses are Level 200 so you need to be well prepared for a tough fight, but the first time you defeat any one Tormented Boss you'll also receive a Resplendent Spark. While this is account-limited, you can now do this with both a Hardcore and non-Hardcore character, making it possible to do it twice in a season.
3. Farm and scrap other Uber Uniques
There are two endgame bosses who have a chance to drop Uber Uniques upon defeat – Uber Duriel in the Gaping Crevasse and more recent arrival Uber Andariel in Diablo 4 Hanged Man's Hall. To fight them you'll have to defeat other endgame bosses to collect the necessary summoning materials, and Uber Uniques are still extremely rare drops when you beat Uber Duriel or Uber Andariel, but this is the only method you can repeat with the same character.
When you scrap an Uber Unique with a Blacksmith, you'll receive a Resplendent Spark among the salvaged materials. Because the whole point of this process is to craft a new Uber Unique, you should only scrap one if you have a duplicate of it so you can carry it over to the Eternal Realm at the end of the season.
How to use Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4
Once you have collected enough Resplendent Sparks in Diablo 4, you can take them to an Alchemist and use them to craft an Uber Unique of your choice. Go to their Transmutation tab, under which you'll find the Transmute Sparks heading, then you can select one of the following:
- Ahavarion Spear of Lycander (Staff)
- Andariel's Visage (Helm)
- Doombringer (One-Handed Sword)
- The Grandfather (Two-Handed Sword)
- Harlequin Crest (Helm)
- Melted Heart of Selig (Amulet)
- Ring of Starless Skies (Ring)
- Tyrael's Might (Chest)
Note that due to class restrictions, you may not see all of the above Uber Uniques listed as you can't craft one that's incompatible with your current character. This crafting process requires four Resplendent Sparks and 50 million gold, so be certain about the item you want to craft before you commit !
