During scheduled weekly maintenance this morning, we addressed issues affecting players who were missing Spark of Tides items.
Additional cleanup waves will happen throughout the week, which will resolve some rare cases in which players who were accidentally granted Sparks over the cap. Those players may have some removed.
Thank you for your patience!
Kaivax, can you please pass along that the Arcantina quest Still Behind Enemy Portals is bugged even worse than before. Now you can’t even get up to the ship at all. We’ve waited months for this quest to come back around and I still can’t get this deco because of badly it is broken. 
Yes, I put in several bug reports, too. But this is pretty time sensitive.
What about the players that have already crafted three items? Some people are getting their 7th spark this week.
Sounds like we’re all just gonna end up with seven sparks. There’s no way devs are just going to yank crafted items out of players’ bags or inventories.
It’s always something with those pesky sparks.
This really is an arch pain in the a**. Why do we even bother reporting bugs on the PTR and later the same issues in the live game yet still awaiting correction! New content is great, but how about making sure the current content is actually functional!
I’m confused at the wording here - this makes it sound like the issue is resolved, however, I did not receive any replacement Sparks.
This is on NA, post reset:
4/5 Dust
2 Sparks
I did not receive my sparks, currently have 2 sparks yet my currency tab is saying 4/4. Denz-Mal’ganis
I have yet to receive my two missing Sparks like many others. Dust counter also shows 4/5 as well.
Love this, but I still didn’t get mine. Then I did all the weekly things and didn’t get my 3rd (supposed to be 5th one). What is happening over there?
But you created another issue. The weekly quest for sparks of tide (Trailing Xal’Atath) is not granting sparks at completion, even though it clearly states that is a reward. As of yesterday (Monday, 8/24) I had 4/4. All good. Then, today after the reset, my characters were 4/5. I completed the quest, turned it in, and no sparks. Still 4/5. You’ll need to figure out who completed this quest successfully and grant their sparks if they haven’t gotten them some other way already.
I still have 4/5 dust, but have only gotten 2 sparks. No way this is resolved.
try testing your patch next time
It appears according to discussion with others on the forums that people who didn’t do quests the first week, but then crafted a piece with their 2/4 Sparks last week did not receive the replacement sparks that others have been given. Just wanted to make sure this edge case is known!
So I should expect a fix to it saying I received 4 tidal spark dust but only had two actual spark of tides?
Showing 4/5 Sparks, only two I have went into making my Dagger. Hope I get my other 2 this week so I can do another Craft.
Didnt get my 2 sparks. Didnt get this weeks spark.
Stop using AI, fire the weak links and GET your S**** TOGETHER. You promised “better patches “ And this is your “better” Embarrassing.*
I only have three sparks but it’s showing i have 5/5 of them, I never got the extra two from last week, I hope this is fixed in short order.
Same thing for me
Why are sparks such an issue this patch?
