Spark Rest rate

[Bio-Thief]

I have over 230 levels in Infuse spark and Stormforging but my spark sits at less than 1% of it's total before fading. It's so useless for buying spark upgrades I might as well not level them besides the orb points. It's the only resource in the game you can't idle come back and get an upgrade using, which I think is crazy.

get storm related artifacts and storm related alchemy and you will be able to idle it.

in 0.50 there are permanent non scaled alchemy bonuses.

Idk, I think the way you need to get everything else in order and then burst out Spark to get its upgrades nicely sets it apart from other resources. You get enough Spark at idle to cast spells with it, but to get upgrades and spell levels, you need to spike it up and then get everything you can while it's up. And the low idle value is just enough to be useful, too: I used Surge on Arcane spells to make them use Spark instead of Arcanum and use the spells despite the slow growth of Arcanum income.

I find it incredibly satisfying to stack a bunch of +Energetic and +Elemental buffs, then fire of a basic Cantrip that send Spark income from equilibrium to +100M/s and then spam to spend it before it fades.

your max capacity and your idle generation / equilibrium value aren't tied to the same upgrades.

you're probably missing a side-grade you don't know about or may have just gone bonkers with your capacity. I never experienced this problem.

imo, it's interesting to have a resource you have to constantly hand-generate throughout the whole game. it's a pretty unique idea as far as the idle-game genre is concerned. the way spark works legitimately felt at least as cool to me as it was annoying. probably more cool than annoying.

Amass Power + Lightning Crafter + I think its Attunement Orb? - then activate and fully charge a spark charge just before Amass Power ends = lawls all the spark

or just use alchemy. I have billions of unused spark right now just from letting a refinement run. All of my spark related attributes are over 100+ each.
Alchemy in beta is pretty strong, so long as you have enough other resources to match the burn from refinement/transformation

I only have 2 books in other schools but maxed expansion, scholar, and artifacts. I have been getting upgrades with heavy spark but the cd is in the hours. I just want to come back and see all my bars full that's all. Spark is also different I get that but it's the only stat that will never fill itself
