Finding all sparks..

[Blue Hasia]

Reviewing the Steam achievements for finding sparks in each region reveals that they all have completion rates under 1%. This low percentage likely stems from players not being able to track which sparks they've already collected, as the map does not update upon collection.

Personally, I don't believe we need respawning sparks. Given the abundance of spark locations available, there should be more than enough to facilitate the upgrading of sparks. A possible improvement could be enhancing the map's functionality to reflect collected sparks, thereby aiding players in their quest to find them all.

really needs an indicator somewhere to let you know you've collected that spark at least once. they have checkmarks for other locations, so implementing that shouldn't be difficult. also removing chain sprint makes getting sparks slower rip

could you theoretically make a new world, go get the first sparks you can get, then delete the world and repeat the process?

[Bob Gnarly]

Visited flame sanctums need a tick next to their map icon just like the shroud roots/wells have.

[Apocaloptimist]

Agreed. Like Bob said, just add a check mark next to the ones you've interacted with just like the shroud roots, idk why it's not like that given how many there are. I'm hopeful they will add that soon in a QoL patch.

it would be a nice change to have some indicator to know what a char has done, but it is not needed. have 100% achievements, it was not hard.

the stats for each shrine / altar is tied to the char not the world.

The fact that less than 1% have achieved getting the sparks for any region would be proof that yes it is hard. Please get off that high horse.

[Agent707]

Agreed with the checks on the ones you've visited.

Though, I have to say.... I've never understood peoples fascination with achievements. They're completely meaningless.

[Tabryne]

You could always track it yourself quite easily by opening the map and making your own little green flag marker at each one as you visit them. I don't understand how this is being viewed as difficult.

I think a better reason for the low % is more akin to what Agent707 said; you don't need them to complete the content in the game so its more of a optional badge for collecting them.

Going by archivements and your logic, it is often too difficult to even make it to lvl 5 or any games equivalent. Its common that many people just leave before.

Getting the archivement is not hard at all, it simply takes serval hours to get it done if you play naturally and not rush the flames.
Which means a huge amout of casual players haven't even gotten to this point.

Visit flame, put a marker up, move to the next.

[Bob Gnarly]

This is literally the only achievement i haven't completed and the reason for that is i cannot be bothered visiting every single flame sanctum to ensure ive been there.

Its not difficult, just annoying and time consuming.

On Mapgenie.io you can mark things as “found”. Maybe that's helpful? I haven't tried it myself yet.

Just wait until you need 30, then 40 sparks for a level 4 and 5 flame upgrade. And so far, we are stopped at 'mid-game', just wait until we need 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100, sparks for flame level 6 - 10 (possibly 11).

Then you'll be glad that sparks respawn.

Just plop down one of your 16markers, you got 4 icons and 4 colors to pick from.
No need for 3rd party stuff, keeps it simpler.

[Player Zer01]

unless your an achievement hunter then it pointless to find them all. you can farm certain ones.

[Storm Reaver]

Just use your map to clear them all again. You can use the resources for stuff anyways. Get out a notepad and mark down the ones you've completed for your own references. Hopefully, they will add some indicator, but for now make a checklist.
