Sparks of Ingenuity are reagents in World of Warcraft's Dragonflight expansion that are used in the crafting of Epic-quality items. This utility makes Sparks of Ingenuity quite desirable, and many players will definitely want to get their hands on this end-game crafting material. For those fans that are indeed looking for Sparks of Ingenuity in World of Warcraft, this guide contains full details on exactly where they come from.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight - How to Get Spark of Ingenuity
The first step toward earning Sparks of Ingenuity is to complete the campaign in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. When that is done, fans should make their way to Valdrakken and navigate to the fountain that is near the entrance to The Seat of the Aspects. Here, players should speak with Therazal, accept the Learning Ingenuity quest, and find Greyzik Cobblefinger on the east side of the city.
Upon locating Greyzik Cobblefinger, players should complete his Jump-Start? Jump-Starting quest and meet the Maiden of Inspiration. Fans should then accept this NPC's In Tyr's Footsteps quest and meet her in The Azure Span. In this location, players will pick up a new quest called First Challenge of Tyr: Finesse, and they will be sent back to the Engine of Innovation in Valdrakken when it is completed. Players will receive the Fueling the Engine quest when they have returned to the Engine, and they will earn their first Spark of Ingenuity by completing it.
After obtaining the first Spark of Ingenuity, players can earn four more by completing additional steps in the Engine of Innovation quest line. However, fans that are playing near the release of WoW's Dragonflight expansion will not be able to access all these steps immediately, as they are being rolled out over the course of several weeks. More specifically, new steps will be released on December 12, December 26, January 9, and January 23, and players will have earned a total of five Sparks of Ingenuity by the end.
Once these five Sparks of Ingenuity have been claimed and the Engine of Innovation quest line has been completed, players will have the opportunity to obtain additional Bottled Essences by completing activities across WoW's Dragon Isles. These usable items will be earned quite infrequently, though, and fans are thus advised to be thoughtful about how they use the Sparks that are guaranteed to come from the aforementioned quest line.
One final thing to mention is that it is possible to earn Sparks of Ingenuity on alts in WoW: Dragonflight without completing the entire campaign again. Indeed, players only need to address the Thaldraszus chapter in order to access the Engine of Innovation quest line, and that chapter can be reached as soon as the Adventuring in the Dragon Isles quest becomes available.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is now available for PC.
