Season 12 changed the vibe of endgame farming in Diablo IV. You'll notice it fast: Mythic Prankster Dungeons don't shower you in five guaranteed Mythics anymore, and Tributes of Ascendants can feel like a long run for a small payoff. Still, if you plan around the new rules instead of fighting them, the season's not a wash. If you're short on crafting stuff, it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on Diablo 4 materials for sale while you map out your next grind so you're not stuck waiting on one missing piece.

Lock in your guaranteed Sparks first

Before you start doing any "maybe I'll get lucky" farming, grab the Sparks that are basically handed to you. Each character can earn five just by playing the seasonal progression. First, beat Lilith on Torment 1 at Rank 4 for one Spark. Second, take down a Bloodied Layer Boss on Torment 3 for the Rank 6 Capstone Spark. Third, beat Lilith on Torment 4 at Rank 7 for another. Fourth, finish the Rank 7 Capstone and open the cache it awards, because there's a Spark in there too. Fifth, max your Brutality Board all the way to Tier 24 and you'll get the last guaranteed Spark.

The alt loop that people won't stop using

Here's the part that feels a bit cheeky, but it works: the reputation board is character-specific, so Sparks are technically repeatable by rolling alts. Make an alt of the same class so you can just toss over your endgame gear and keep moving. To hit 60 quickly, either bank around 33 Whisper Caches on your main and open them on the new character, or have a friend run Pit clears while you wait at the entrance. Once you're geared, bring Subo so killstreaks don't drop, then stack rep boosts. A Bloodied Amulet plus Hunger bonuses on rings, together with Smoldering Ashes, can push your reputation gains up by about 65%. Run Helltides like you're speedrunning errands, hit Tier 24, claim the Spark, delete the alt, repeat.

Group rotations and smart crafting choices

If you'd rather stay on one character, groups are the big multiplier this season. In a four-player rotation, each person brings a Mythic Prankster Sigil, so one "set" of runs turns into four dungeon completions, four Mythics, and four Sparks spread across the party's time. T4 Tributes still have a place, and so do boss chains like Duriel, Andariel, and Harbinger of Hatred, but soloing them is a great way to burn an evening for not much return. When you've built a Spark pile, the crafter becomes your pressure valve: spend two Sparks and 50 million gold for a random Mythic, salvage the bad ones to get a Spark back, and save your Magic, Rare, and Legendary runes for targeted crafts when you're chasing that one build-defining item.
