In this guide, I want to talk about the easiest ways to get Resplendent Sparks, and how you can get Uber Unique items, such as Harlequin Crest, through these methods.
As you probably already know, if you have 4 Resplendent Sparks at an Alchemist, you can craft any Uber Unique item. So the purpose of this guide is to introduce you to the different possible ways to get Resplendent Sparks, so that you can find the method that works best for you. Without further ado, let’s get straight into it!
Gathering 4 Resplendent Sparks
Again, you’ll need 4 total to craft this Uber Unique of your choice.
Killing Tormented Bosses
The first Resplendent Sparks comes from the first Tormented Boss you kill. These are level 200 bosses that are much tougher to deal with than their lower-level counterparts. What’s more, summoning them not only requires 3 times as many materials but also 2 Stygian Stones.
In my opinion, the weakest Tormented Boss is Lord Zir, so if you want to try to take on one of these bosses and win a Spark, consider him. Unfortunately, you can only get this Resplendent Spark once, no matter how many characters you level up.
Defeat Uber Lilith
The second Resplendent Spark comes from killing Uber Lilith for the first time. Don’t underestimate it, this endgame is much more difficult than previous seasons, but it’s easy to find a stronger character to help you get through the encounter and get some Diablo 4 Gold.
I once encountered a bug here, where we didn’t get a Resplendent Spark as a reward when we killed Lilith. But don’t worry, this problem has been fixed recently.
Again, this Spark can only be obtained once, no matter how many characters you kill Uber Lilith with.
Grind Iron Wolves Reputation
The third Resplendent Spark comes from Iron Wolves Reputation. As you kill monsters and complete events in Helltide, you’ll unlock different tiers of caches at Iron Wolf Camp, the last of which contains a Resplendent Spark.
It’s worth noting that Iron Wolves Reputation grinding can be done once per character, so this is also a potential source of infinite Sparks. We’ll go into more tips on this farming method later.
Salvaging Uber Unique Item
The fourth way to get a Resplendent Spark is by looting and salvaging an Uber Unique item.
You can get these Diablo 4 items randomly from any monster, though the drop chance is very low. You can also get them from summoned bosses, like Varshan and Beast in Ice, with slightly higher chances. Of course, the best way to get them is from Duriel and Andariel, with a 2% chance per kill. This chance increases if you kill Tormented Boss.
Really, only Duriel and Andariel can be targeted for farming Uber Unique items, as the drop chances from other bosses are very low.
The meta seems to be fighting Tormented version of Duriel, as it is much easier than Andariel.
Even though these are the only sources of Resplendent Spark, you can cheat the system by recognizing that two of them are duplicates. This means you can get 4 Uber Uniques from Duriel. You can salvage them to get a Resplendent Spark, then craft an Uber of your choice. Be warned, though, that this requires quite a bit of luck.
The same is true for Iron Wolf quest-line. You can level up multiple characters, max out Iron Wolves Reputation on each, and you’ll be able to get one Spark for each maxed reputation. This method requires no luck, just grinding.
Farming Tips
In summary, my suggestions for the quickest or easiest way to get an Uber Unique item are as follows: Kill a Tormented Boss to get 1 Spark. Then max out your main character’s Iron Wolves Reputation to get the second Spark.
Then, for the remaining 2 Sparks, you have a few options:
First, I highly recommend using your summoning materials and Stygian Stones to get into a group that takes turns summoning and killing Uber Duriel. You might get lucky and get an Uber Unique item that you can salvage. If you like collecting summoning materials and killing bosses, you can repeat this step infinitely until you get 4 Sparks.
If your character is strong enough, or you have a powerful friend who can help you, kill Uber Lilith so you can get a free Spark.
If none of the above methods work for you, and you like leveling up trumpets, leveling up several trumpets in Helltide and grinding Iron Wolves Reputation with all of them is also a good option.
This way, you can actually get an unlimited amount of Uber Unique items if you’re willing to put in the time and effort. I recommend checking out our Iron Wolves Reputation farming guide to minimize the pain.
That’s it! Hopefully, this information will help you get Uber Unique you need as quickly as possible. Do you have any better suggestions? See you next time!
