Understanding Sparks and Weekly Quests
Sparks of Vigor are a pivotal resource for crafting high-level gear in Season 2 Midnight. You can earn Sparks through weekly quests such as "Unity Against the Void," "Trailing Zalatath," and "Curse Surge." These are available in Silver Moon and the Coil. While you can obtain up to four Sparks in the first week of the season, you are limited to one Spark per week once you reach the cap. Pinnacle caches, obtainable during these quests, offer veteran gear, coffer key shards, and other valuable materials.

- Ensure weekly quests are completed to obtain Sparks of Vigor and Pinnacle caches.
- Track your Spark progress via your currency tab.
- Unlock world quests as you advance early in the season.
Engaging in Nightmare Prey Hunts
Nightmare Prey Hunts offer effective gearing rewards for solo players. These hunts have three difficulty tiers, with Nightmare mode yielding champion gear, champion crests, and hero crests. Completing at least three Nightmare Prey Hunts weekly fulfills the quest "A Nightmarish Task," which grants hero crests and other benefits.
Progressing in the Season 2 Prey Journey track unlocks additional rewards, such as afflicted souls, which simplify future hunts and provide bonus gear each week.
