Season 11 in Diablo 4 is right around the corner, and the buzz is pretty hard to ignore if you care about endgame and Diablo 4 Items. Blizzard is not just tossing in another gimmick season this time; a lot of the core loot rules are getting ripped up and rebuilt. That’s why burning your Resplendent Sparks on Mythic Uniques right now is a bad idea. Anything you craft before the Season of Divine Intervention patch lands is going to be classed as legacy gear, locked out of the new upgrade systems and lagging behind the stuff that drops on day one. So if you were about to slam that craft button “just to try something,” it’s honestly better to stop and stash your materials instead.

Why Legacy Gear Is A Problem

Once the update hits, the game will treat old Mythics like museum pieces. They’ll still exist, they’ll still look cool in your stash, but you will not be able to push them with the new upgrade layers that Season 11 brings in. Players who spend their Sparks now are basically locking power behind an old rule set, while everyone else will be running around with fresh Mythics that can be tuned, upgraded and actually keep up with the new damage curve. If you plan to hang out on Eternal for a while, test builds or just relax between seasons, that gap gets real obvious real fast. You do not want to be the person stuck dragging a “perfect” legacy item that can’t grow with your character.

Setting Up The Infernal Warp Loop

The smart play is to squeeze Season 10’s systems for everything they are worth before they vanish. The Infernal Warp reputation farm is still the fastest way to stockpile Sparks if you are willing to grind a bit. You run Infernal Warp on your main, pile up the currency, then head to Shyan and buy a stack of Warp Scrolls. The number you want is 89, not more, not less. Throw those scrolls straight into your stash and walk away from them. No early pops, no “I’ll just try a couple.” The trick works because those scrolls convert to a big chunk of reputation on a fresh character, and you only get that spike once per alt.

Using Alts To Max The Reputation Board

After that, roll a new character. Most people keep it the same class as their main so they can share gear, but honestly it is not required for this setup. Push that alt through the early “Sands of Chaos” story beats until the Season 10 reputation board opens up. Then pull the 89 Warp Scrolls from your stash and burn them all in one go. You will see the rep bar shoot straight to the top, hitting 22,500 reputation without you needing to clear a single serious fight. Open the board, grab all the rewards, but here is the important bit: do not open the caches on the alt. Stash every cache, swap back to your main, then open them there so all the good stuff lands on the character you actually care about.

Hoard Now, Craft Later

The last cache on that board always hands you a Resplendent Spark, and that is where the whole loop pays off. Those Sparks roll over to Eternal when the season ends, and there is no real cap on how many you can build up if you have the patience to repeat the process. It is slow, a bit mind-numbing, but when Season of Divine Intervention lands and the new loot rules kick in, you will thank your past self for waiting. Spend nothing now, keep stacking, and then craft your best pieces with the fresh systems so you are not stuck behind weaker legacy rolls while others flex their upgraded cheap d4 gear.
