Im in ringing deeps i have the weekly quest to get 100 sparks.
Killing rares nothing. Killing players nothing. Doing world quests nothing.
Collecting treasures nothing. Collect the snufflin rocks nothing.
Not getting Sparks of war, do not know why.
It even says sparks of war on some of the rares and they do not drop any sparks.
I was collecting sparks via treasures and rares. Then they just stopped, not sure the cause. I looted a PVP chest and got sparks from that, and then treasures and rares started dropping sparks again.
Was earning Bloody Tokens and Conquest in World PVP, but not getting the weekly Sparks quests from Ruffious.
Finally figured out access is granted when you unlock “World Quests & Adventure Mode”. This requires earning the Achievements for all 4 zones: Isle of Dorn, The Ringing Deeps, Hallowfall and Azj-Kahet. Each Achievement has 3 storylines and quests are marked with chevrons. You also need to do the quest “Surface Bound”. It’s the first quest in the “Against the Current” storyline. You leave Azj-Kahet and turn in the quest in to Moira in Dornogol. She awards “World Quests & Adventure Mode”.
As others reported, cumulative pvp honor level was reset to 0. Reported as bug.
