Glints of Hope is the reputation currency that drives the Season of Death Awakening board in Zarbinzet. You earn it by closing Pandemonium Ruptures across Sanctuary, and each point you bank pushes you up a 24-rank reward track that hands out caches, experience tomes, and the Pandemonium Fragments used to craft Mythic Uniques.
Quick answer: Close Ruptures to earn Glints of Hope, then spend them at the reputation board in Zarbinzet. Reaching each threshold below unlocks that rank’s reward automatically, all the way to the final Resplendent Cache at rank 24.
How to earn Glints of Hope in Season 14
Glints of Hope come from Pandemonium Ruptures, the season’s main open-world activity. Ruptures can spawn anywhere on Sanctuary but appear far more often inside Helltide zones. When you open one, you keep it active by killing the enemies that pour out and closing the tears. The longer the Rupture stays open, the larger the reward, and completing it awards a Glint of Hope that feeds the reputation board.
Ruptures come in three strengths. Normal Ruptures are the entry point and spawn in the overworld. Surging Ruptures replace local Helltide events and can summon a Realmwalker. Colossal Ruptures appear in the Fields of Desecration and guarantee a Realmwalker when completed. All three feed your Glints of Hope total, so any Rupture you close counts toward the ranks below.

There are 24 reward ranks in total. The reputation cost climbs quickly in the later tiers, and the rewards shift from small caches and experience tomes toward endgame-focused loot. The table shows the exact Glints of Hope needed for each rank and what you receive.
| Rank | Glints of Hope | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | Small Armory Cache |
| 2 | 50 | Solemn Reflection Experience Tome |
| 3 | 110 | Currency Cache |
| 4 | 180 | Small Armory Cache |
| 5 | 260 | Solemn Reflection Experience Tome |
| 6 | 350 | Currency Cache |
| 7 | 450 | Mystery Archetype Cache |
| 8 | 560 | Solemn Reflection Experience Tome |
| 9 | 680 | Currency Cache |

| 12 | 1,100 | Mystery Archetype Cache |
| 13 | 1,350 | Masterwork Cache |
| 14 | 1,550 | Ancient Memory Rare Experience Tome |
| 15 | 1,800 | Mystery Archetype Cache |
| 16 | 2,570 | Ancient Memory Rare Experience Tome |
| 17 | 3,670 | Masterwork Cache |

| 24 | Yet to be discovered | Resplendent Cache |
The higher ranks are the ones worth chasing for endgame progression. The Greater Lair Cache at rank 20, the Greater Masterwork Cache at rank 21, and the Resplendent Cache at rank 24 carry the most useful materials for gearing, including the Pandemonium Fragments that upgrade Uniques into Mythic Uniques through the Horadric Cube.
Speed up reputation with the Urn of Death Awakening
Several Season Rank objectives award Smoldering Ashes, which you spend on account-wide Season Blessings. The Urn of Death Awakening boosts the amount of Glints of Hope reputation you earn from all sources, so activating it early pushes you through the board faster and gets you to the Pandemonium Fragment payouts sooner.
Because Glints of Hope feed straight into Mythic Unique crafting, the Urn of Death Awakening is usually the strongest first Blessing to activate. Do not save Smoldering Ashes for later. The bonus applies for the rest of the season, so the earlier you switch it on, the more reputation it returns.
How to confirm a rank unlocked
When your total crosses a threshold, the reputation board in Zarbinzet marks that rank complete and delivers its reward. Caches and tomes land in your inventory or claim queue right away, and the board advances to the next rank. If the next tier still looks locked, you have not yet banked enough Glints of Hope for it, so close a few more Ruptures to top up the count.
Ruptures close faster and drop richer rewards inside Helltides, so parking your farming loop around active Helltide zones is the quickest way to climb the board. Keep an eye out for Rupture Goblins as well, since they open extra Ruptures and stack up more Glints of Hope for every clear.
