Now that the final content patch of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is here, WoW 10.2 has added a new PvP quest in the Emerald Dream to gather Sparks of Life. If yo🔜u complete♔ the first part of the new Guardians of the Dream main story questline, titled Enter the Dream, you will gain access to the Emerald Dream.

As soon as you’re there, you’ll need to complete the quest, so here’s how to get Sparks of Life in WoW.

Sparks of Life WoW guide

Head to the PVP zone in WoW and defeat enemy players to obtain Sparks of Life. You should get one every time you defeat a player, but in the case that you aren’t receiving them, there are some steps to follow.

Complete a world quest, loot a chest, or defeat a rare enemy. After completing one of these things, ensure you have plenty of space in your bags, and then log out and back in again. That should work perfectly well, but what’s the quickest way of obtaining Sparks of Life in WoW?

How to get 100 Sparks of Life in WoW (quickly)

First, it’s important to note that the best way of obtaining Sparks of Life is when you’re in War Mode. This open PVP setting can be tough for the solo adventurer, however. Thankfully, there is a quicker (and easier) way to get all 100 Sparks of Life for your quest.

If you look at the screenshot below, the place highlighted in red on the map is a platform with a graveyard on it. People are constantly engaging in all-out chaotic PvP there, since when you die you respawn almost instantly. Simply join a group of four others on the same quest and you will have your 100 Sparks in just a few minutes. Make sure you turn in the quest to get the easy Dream Wardens reputation as well!

You’ll want to pick this up to start your week, then cruise through it

You’ve seen it before: the dreaded weekly “collection” quest in MMOs. WoW: Dragonflight has them too, and that includes Sparks of Life farming. Here’s what they do, and how to collect them.

Step one: Pick up the weekly quest

In a roundabout way, the Sparks of Life questline will provide you with Trophies of Strife (among other rewards), which in turn can be used to acquire PVP gear. That’s their main purpose. The quest line for Sparks of Life can be started after finishing the main Dragonflight storyline. It’s considered a postgame event.

There are two options to kick things off, from the NPC Keenu in Valdrakken (location in the image above, at coordinates 42.𝕴7, 40.4):

  • Sparks of Life: The Azure Span
  • Sparks of Life: Ohn’ahran Plains

Step two: Earn them by doing most regular activities

You will need to be in War Mode to collect Sparks of Life: it’s important to know that right off the bat.

Your job is to earn Sparks of Life in the accompanying locations through🥃 the following methods:

  • World PVP
  • World Quests (finite)
  • Killing rare mobs
  • PVP supply chests
  • Disturbed dirt pile looting
  • Expedition Scout Pack scouring

If you’re on a low-pop server, Scout Packs might be the way to go. You can get all of the Sparks of Life that you need in as little as 30 minutes, but you’ll need a flying mount in order to zoom around the map quickly.

It might take some practice, but it could be your best bet if there’s no one to PvP with on your server.

Once you’ve got all the Sparks of Life that you need, remember to turn the quest in and get those sweet rewards.
