How to Use Resplendent Sparks

Without Expansion:

Visit the Blacksmith → Forge Equipment → Mythic Caches.

· Cost: 50 million gold + 1 Resplendent Spark.

· Result: Random Mythic Unique.

With Expansion:

Visit the Jeweler → Rune Crafting → Mythic Uniques.

· Cost: Specific runes (view requirements via right-click/show description) + 1 Resplendent Spark.

· Result: Target a specific Mythic Unique you need.

Other Reliable Mythic Sources

1. Obol Gambling

· Vendor: Obol merchant in towns.

· Strategy: Spend all Obols. Mythics can drop from any gamble slot (not just the corresponding item type).

· Example: Harlequin Crest can drop from ring gambles.

2. Boss Farming

· Best Boss: Duriel (highest base drop rate at ~2.5%).

· Cons: Requires boss materials, can take hundreds of runs.

· Tip: Farm bosses as part of the broader material cycle (see below).

3. Asvidan World Boss Caches

After killing Asvidan:

1. Open spawned chests using Corrupted Claws, Eyes, and Horns (from other bosses).

2. These caches can drop:

· Obols

· Boss summon materials

· Corrupted Tongues of Asben (turn in after world boss)

· Nightmare Dungeon Sigils

· Mythic Uniques (reported drops)

The Optimal Farming Cycle (Expansion Owners)

1. This loop maximizes your chances and materials:

· Farm Essence of Sin to Rank 5 (Top Priority)

· Why: At rank 5, with the essence purified, world bosses drop double rewards, including Tributes of Ascendance (key to the best farm).

2. Fastest Methods:

· Normal Difficulty Asvidan: 5 points per kill, quick runs.

· Nantu (Southern Region): High density of "red glow" monsters that give increased reputation. Also high goblin density.

· PVP Zone (Non-Expansion): Small area with high monster concentration.

3. Use Tributes of Ascendance in the Undercity

· Location: Use a Tribute at the Undercity entrance.

· Result: A timed run (3–4 minutes) with a ~30% chance to drop a Mythic Unique (based on community data from 100 runs).

· Efficiency: The best solo, time-friendly method. With 1 hour/day for a week, you can accumulate ~100 runs → ~29 Mythics on average.

4. Farm World Bosses & Asvidan for Sigils & Tributes

· At Essence of Sin Rank 5, world bosses drop Nightmare Dungeon Sigils and more Tributes.

· Target Prankster Nightmare Dungeon Sigils (guarantees 5 Mythics on goblin kill) and Treasure Breach Sigils (fast goblin rep).

5. Run Prankster Nightmare Dungeons

· Warning: Ensure you can kill the goblin quickly on your chosen difficulty—if it escapes, you lose the loot.

6. Salvage/Build Your Sigil Pool

· Occultist → Craft Sigils (max 20 at a time) to fish for Prankster/Treasure Breach.

7. Salvage unwanted sigils. Keep:

· Treasure Breach

· Prankster

· Heretic Strongrooms (late-game)

· Hidden Armory (for guaranteed Ancestrals)

8. Boss Summons for Materials

· Use materials from bosses/chests to summon more bosses, continuing the cycle.

Undercity (Tribute of Ascendance) Speed Run Tips

1. Goal: Fill the "rewards bar" to 4/4, then kill the boss (Andariel).

2. Route: Plan your path before moving—timer starts after you begin.

3. Key Objectives:

· Ignore small monsters, head directly to braziers (purple towers).

· Kill the "big dude" near braziers for +60 seconds.

· At 4/4 rewards, beeline to Andariel.

4. Goblins: Bonus chest at the end—always kill them.

5. Build Tip: Use mobility skills (e.g., Leap with Chain Gored Pants for infinite leaps) to speed through.

Best Method

Efficient, high yield

Expansion, Heavy Grinder

Loop: World bosses → Undercity → Prankster farming → Boss summons.

High engagement, max rewards


Final Tips

Trade Chat: You can buy Prankster Nightmare Dungeon runs if you have excess gold.

Sanctification: Obol gambling also helps gear you for sanctified upgrades.

Community Data: 100 Undercity runs yielded ~29 Mythics (≈30% drop rate)—far more rewarding than simply hunting for cheap Diablo IV Items on the marketplace.

By focusing on Essence of Sin Rank 5 → Tributes of Ascendance → Undercity runs, you can farm Mythics efficiently without relying on unpredictable boss drops or external trading.
