Get a bad Great Vault this week? A Splintered Spark of Shadowflame has been added to the Great Vault pity vendor, allowing players with a bad Vault to get a 447 crafted piece every week!
Splintered Spark of Shadowflame
has been added to the Great Vault pity vendor,
Evantkis
, for 6
Aspects' Token of Merit
. As long as you complete 3 boxes every week, you can buy one half of a spark from the Great Vault and combine it from the weekly other half to get a 447 crafted piece every week. This is huge news for making sure that players are excited about the Vault every week and a great addition to the pity vendor, while also making this fantastic for alts!
This may be concerning for players who rely on getting their
Aspects' Token of Merit
through the catch-up system though and not directly through
A Worthy Ally: Loamm Niffen
every week. It's unclear at this time whether or not this extra spark will count towards the number of Sparks obtained, as if it does, then it will be impossible to get additional Sparks through the catch-up system and any sparks not obtained through
A Worthy Ally: Loamm Niffen
will essentially be lost. We'll see if Blizzard clarifies this going forwards.

So people can run a max of +16 and get full 447 gear. Incredible. Gearing is such a disaster this season.
Shh no one tell this person about the 10.1.5 patch and the new Myth track where 16+ Vault and Mythic raid drops can be upgraded to 447.
shhh dont tell this person that over half the player base does not even do plus 16s or mythic raids,normies that keep this game going with the lights on are not hard core players lol,most have familys and jobs and dont set and play all day.

So if over half the player base does not even do plus 16's or Mythic raids then they can't get full crafted 447 as you require Aspects to do this. So the initial comment was directed at sub 50% of the player base that do 16's and above where 447 gear is actually more relevant.
However this will help people to gear up to 437 if they do 11-15s or Heroic raids. 424 if they don't raid or do keys higher than 11 or farm for optimal gear.
You invalidated the initial comment with this one.
There is also the facts that this could allow people who have bad vaults to gear up an offspec with optimal embellishments and that in previous expansions at some point doing 15's and 16's gave you the highest possible reward.

Why would anyone waste 6 tokens on a catchup spark splinter?
Because it is not? It is an extra one on top of the weekly one, allowing you to craft an item a week earlier than you could have.
No it isnt.
If you are fully caught up and you already did the weekly spark from either Loam quest or from PVP, then the splinter doesnt show up in the vendor.
Its NOT an extra splinter, people need to understand this.
Its just a fast way to get the current and/or a catchup spark splinter(s), without having to do anything for it. In you have no use for the token of merrits.
You are absolutely incorrect. I have 5 447 crafted pieces on my Priest which is only possible with one of these bonus Sparks.

No idea what your smoking, i just did my weekly, and then went and purchased the token for 6 vault tokens and made myself a ring.
And no, i didn't have a past item missed, since last week i made an item with a full spark as well,
Either you got a bug, or everyone else got a bug, but everyone in my guild had access to both this week...so i think its your end something is wrong.

Where do you get that information from?
I am not claiming you are wrong, but it's not what the article says, and that you can buy Sparks for
Merit
tokens is new.
From the fact that the option to buy one from the vendor isnt there for me and im fully caught up + finished the weekly one.
could be a bug for you.
I finished my weekly went to the vendor, got a half a spark and made a full spark.
And no i didn't miss any last week since last week we all made a full spark as well

That's a splintered spark aka HALF a spark.
So a crafted item every TWO weeks.
If only there was another way of getting splintered sparks...
