Blizzard restores missing Sparks of Tides and begins removing excess grants

Blizzard has confirmed another restoration for players missing Sparks of Tides. The process finished during September 15 maintenance, according to Kaivax’s update, posted late that evening UTC.

The correction was not exact for everyone. Some players received too many Sparks, and a background process is removing those excess grants.

Another step in a longer fix

This is not a new issue. Our August report covered missing Sparks and plans to remove extra ones. In early September, Blizzard acknowledged that some players were still missing their allocation.

The new development is that the restoration has been completed. That is more concrete than the earlier promise of further work, but it is not an individual confirmation of every character’s entitlement.

Why your total might fall again

Kaivax describes the extra items as overcompensation by the restoration process. The post does not frame them as evidence of player misconduct. A falling count should therefore not automatically be interpreted as a penalty.

This announcement does not explain how already-crafted items might be treated. We will not claim that spending an extra Spark protects it from removal or automatically leads to a particular consequence.

What to check on your character

Our practical editorial advice is to compare the character’s situation before and after the restoration: what was missing, and what is now present? If something remains unclear, those observations make the issue easier to describe accurately. Another player’s reported allocation is not necessarily yours.

The Season 1 Mythic+ top rewards being distributed this week are a separate matter. Spark restoration and delivery of previous-season rewards should not be confused.
