The Vital Spark: How to Ignite Your Exploration Potential
Sparks are not just small embers—they are the life of your Flame Altar. Here's why getting sparks is very much needed:
- Extending Your Reach: A spark in the Flame Altar is extra time that you can spend within the Shroud before it devours you. You are, in that regard, able to gather more, walk further, and uncover the things shrouded in the constant mist.
- Unlocking New Areas: A part of the Shroud remains off-limits until you reach a particular level for your Flame Altar. After collecting all the materials and upgrading the Altar, new areas get unlocked, giving lots of room for exploration.
- Strengthen Your Defenses: Upgrading the Flame Altar boosts the aura of power over the protective shield around your base—adding an extra layer of defence against the threats and terrors of the Shroud—particularly after dark.
The steady supply of sparks allows you to delve deeper into the enshrouded world, unlock new areas, and ensure your base remains well-defended.
Sparking the Fire: Types of Sparks
Unlike some of the other resources that are highly abundant and can be foraged easily, the embers are only available in a certain set location. To find these, go to.
Flame Shrines: Spread across Embervale, the initial area, are low structures called Flame Shrines. These shrines are easily recognizable by a circle of flame centred in them. Interact with the flame to collect a spark.
Flame Sanctums: Later in your journey to Enshrouded, you will come to a new megastructure called Flame Sanctums. They have much more Sparks than the Shrines but take travelling much deeper into the Shroud.
Remember, entering the Shroud is time-sensitive. Therefore, you should plan your outings to gather sparks. In the early part of your games, it is better to gather sparks from Shrines first before entering the Shroud to gather from Sanctums.
Below are a few tips on how to hasten your efforts of collecting sparks:
Explore First: As you explore Embervale, be on the lookout for that telltale orange glow of Flame Shrines. These readily available sources of Sparks will be the key to the early game.
Embrace the Shroud (Temporarily): Now, that you're comfortable moving into the Shroud, find and investigate Flame Sanctums. These yield a higher level of spark, but present a time-management issue within the shroud.
Make Time-Extending Consumables: Make consumables that can extend your time inside the Shroud with items like Nightcrawler Elixirs or Shroud Shrooms so that you may have longer periods in the Shroud to explore the Flame Sanctums and collect more sparks.
This way, you will have a much higher rate of collection of sparks and never be at a loss for the upgrade of the Flame Altar.
At the moment, you cannot buy Sparks directly from vendors found inside Enshrouded. You have to loot them from Flame Shrines and Sanctums.
The sparks in all Flame Shrines and Sanctums respawn after some time. You can keep returning to it from time to time to gather more sparks from the spot.
No, you cannot gather too many sparks within one Shroud. Going in for long periods is what incurs a danger.
Sparks currently have no utility other than to upgrade your Flame Altar. Further updates are expected to broaden the multiple potential functionalities of this critical resource.
Conclusion
Only by controlling the sparks shall you attain the mightiest state in Enshrouded's world. Know their significance, know where to find sources of the sparks efficiently, then proceed with the gathering using the following tips, and be assured of steady supplies of sparks to fuel the Flame Altar: upgrading the Flame Altar shall enable you to explore and conquer while armed, meeting each of the challenges the Shroud enfolds, protecting its hidden mysteries.
