Dragonflight Season 4 - Complete Weekly Awakened Activities for Sparks of Awakening
With 10.2.6 PTR now available for testing, we can have a look at how to obtain Sparks of Awakening in Dragonflight Season 4.

Every week, players will have to complete one of three open world quests from different Dragon Isles zones:
  • Dragon Isles - Last Hurrah: Dragon Isles
    • Complete the Community Feast event
    • Complete a Grand Hunt
    • Lay siege to Dragonbane Keep
  • Zaralek Caverns - Last Hurrah: Zaralek Caverns and Time Rifts
    • Complete the Researchers under Fire event
    • Loot a Secured Shipment from a Suffusion Camp
    • Help Soridormi dispel a Time Rift
  • Amirdrassil - Last Hurrah: Emerald Dream
    • Gather 100 Dreamsurge Coalescence
    • Earn 50 Bloom during the Superbloom event
    • Complete 1 Superbloom event
    • Plant 3 Dreamseeds in the Emerald Dream



This week on the Public Test Realms, only the quest related to the Emerald Dream zone was available, while those for the Dragon Isles and Zaralek Caverns zones were unavailable. Completing Last Hurrah: Emerald Dream rewarded us with:

Although the Weekly Awakened Activity spell description indicates that the quest "can reward you with a weekly spark for crafting", only one half of the spark was rewarded. Please note that this is a preview for PTR content, which is subject to change.

    And in the meantime, people are complaining that "retarded company" only cater to raiders and when they actually do something with outdoor activities, it's still not good enough...

    Literally cannot win.

    Let's hope they change their minds with that while it's still on the PTR, because the 2 week thing was kinda shit.

    The alternative is promoting degenerate gameplay, and casual screaming about not having enough time, while everyone gets full crafted slots before the 2nd week of the season.
    The only alternative I could get behind, maybe, would be allowing us to grind 2 of them to get the embellished pieces, and then put in the normal acquisition length after.

    Can't they just make it that you can get 1 full spark every reset?

    Can't say I'm fond of the "Last Hurrah" quests as currently designed.

    Are people really complaining about power time gating literally at the end of the expansion?

    Will it really make that big a difference?

    Possibly, but it makes gearing still too quick for Blizz.
    The only reason I mentioned getting 2 quickly is simply because embellishments are so good.

    1 a week is too powerful. profession gear is VERY strong. cause it lets you create your BIS.
    the lockout of how long you need to make one is what stops profession gear from just right out replacing all other sources of gearing.

    cause who cares about random raid loot, when you can craft a piece of gear for the exact slot you need, with the exact stats you want.

    I understand why Blizzard do it, to keep people playing and subbed longer, but I still feel it sucks.

    I was under the impression there weren't any fated raids to get raid loot? If I'm mistaken then I guess I understand why they're doing it.

    This answers my above post.
    Wait where are people getting the impression there won't be fated raids?
    They are going to be rotating every week, and also have dinnars, hell they are even adding omni-tier tokens to each of the raids, and new "awakaened" gear, obtained from the dinnars, which start at base level, but can be upgraded all the way to BIS, so you never need to replace them, just stuff em full of crests.
    They even adding items that let you upgrade the legendaries to a new ilvl.

    Yeah I'd just seen others saying there weren't going to be any fated raids, and for some reason I believed it

    Now the 2 weeks per spark makes a lot more sense, as otherwise we'd outgear the fated raids too fast.

    Yeah yeah, no problemo.
    Hell the dinnars even allow you to buy the slime cat mount from shadowlands if you missed it.

    The problem is, that dungeon drops are still too weak in S4. Upgrading hero to 6/6 will finally be on par with aspect crafted gear (522) but since you can choose your stats upgrading dungeon drops is a waste of crests. 60 crests to upgrade 6/6 plus another 60 crests to craft at that slot later. Early season you hit the cap on crests, late season when you can farm your heart out on a fresh char you also get enough sparks. All the crests you do not keep for aspect crafts will be dunked into weapons and set pieces. Early season there are no crests available for non crafted gear. So all that spacing out sparks every two weeks does is making people run around with non-upgraded gear saving their crests.

    Blizzard should find a way to refund crests spent upgrading so we don't double pay on crafted item slots.
