Do spark drops exist?

I started this char somewhat late into the expansion and I was then delaying the HoI step of the spark quest because I didn’t know it would unlock the ability to get sparks from other content (allegedly), but still I’ve been playing for month and a half after finishing the questline, and I got no sparks from anywhere.

I primarily do M+ and the weekly events with some WQs, and vary rarely raid, but there were 0 sparks drops in like 40 days of playing since completing the questline. This seems pretty insane when there’s already a sizable concentrated focus grind for every item which is more than enough IMO seeing how you’re limited to 1 item a week from the Vault for M+ gearing.

Getting no sparks on top looks like my gearing is just gonna grind to a halt once I spend the next spark, which is very demotivating because waiting on the Vault RNG to maybe get you an upgrade (the last 4 were tier set pieces I already had only at higher ilvls), is one of the most boring and unrewarding parts of the game. Does any content produce sparks at a faster rate or is this horrible drop rate intended?

Yes, I got 2 from 2 boxes I got from solo shuffle.

You get 4 (or 5 i can’t remember) sparks as catchup.

Have you used them all because all I can see you wearing is the lariat?

I get them all the time and don’t even need them. “Accord” weekly quest gives one quite often, event chests and yes, also world boss or m+ end chest.

I have had three drop, one on each of the toons I play. Two were from the world boss, the other was from a rare. I am only doing the biweekly wqs at the moment due to internet issues, or I would probably have seen more drop.

Yes they do. I don’t play THAT much and got one from a world quest

Yeah it dropped for me at the end of Halls of Valor m+ chest. I was in a russian group and when they saw me get it they called me ‘‘pidar’’ in chat and instantly removed me from group lol.

I used 3 so far on Lariat, dagger and the ring, saving the last 2 for the main hand and idk what else yet.

Then I have atrocious RNG or idk what’s going on. I’m doing all of that every week with about 5-8 M+ runs on average, WB kill every week, both the soup and the siege event once or twice, and I can’t remember getting a single spark in over a month.

:crossed_fingers: :four_leaf_clover: Hope you’ll soon get lucky! :slight_smile:

oddly, I got some sparks from simple rares in the world - not from high M+.
Got one from heroic raid too

I got a couple from M+ but that’s across dozens of runs, one from dirt and the others I got all dropped from rares but I farmed a bunch of them.

I’ve had a couple, one from the weekly Accord box and one from a rare in open world.

My mage is still on the quest to get the spark from HoI and I did get one from PvP box. So yes you can get an additional one if you not finished the quest.

One from weeky box, one from a Raidboss this week for me

I’ve heard rumors of those.

Seriously, I haven’t seen a drop in almost three weeks, doing mostly mythic plus dungeons in my limited time in game.

4 chars and most do 15-20 m+ each week and other activities, 1 spark so far. On the one which didnt really need it of course.

You could have bought 2 sparks with 4 weeks of bad vault RNG.

They were still ilvl upgrades so I got them but would’ve been much better to get slots I can’t upgrade with valor. 2 weeks is also a lot, idk how the bad luck replacement reward is still so bad after over 2 years of the great vault. One week = 1 spark is a much more sane proposition considering you still need a lot of grinding and gold to craft that item.

I only get them on chars that don’t need them :grinning:

Yes, they drop quite regularly actually.
