Diablo IV Season 14 Death Awakening adds a new seasonal activity called Glints of Hope, and it's one of the more rewarding progression tracks in the season. The system ties directly to your efforts against Ullo Sar and its followers: kill enemies, disrupt their activities, earn points, climb ranks, collect loot. There are 24 ranks in total, and the rewards get meaningfully better the further you push.
How does Glints of Hope work?
The Glints of Hope system runs on a reputation-style track. Every enemy you kill while disrupting Ullo Sar's operations contributes points toward your total. More kills mean more points, and more points unlock higher ranks with progressively better rewards.
The early ranks come quickly. Getting from Rank 1 to Rank 6 costs 350 total reputation points, which is achievable in a short farming session. The real grind starts around Rank 16, where the point requirements spike significantly. Rank 16 requires 2,570 points, Rank 17 jumps to 3,670, and Rank 19 demands 6,570 before you hit the 8,150 threshold for Rank 20.

What are all the Glints of Hope ranks and rewards?
There are 24 ranks total, each requiring a specific reputation threshold. The table below covers every rank, the points needed to reach it, and the exact reward you unlock.

Which rewards are worth prioritizing?
The reward types across 24 ranks break down into a few categories, and not all of them carry equal weight for endgame players.
Small Armory Caches (Ranks 1 and 4) are early fillers. Useful for gearing up a fresh character, but don't expect anything transformative.
Solemn Reflection Experience Tomes appear at Ranks 2, 5, 8, and 11. These accelerate leveling and are most valuable early in the season when experience is the bottleneck.
Mystery Archetype Caches show up at Ranks 7, 10, 12, and 15. The mystery element means the class-specific loot is randomized, which makes these more exciting for players who haven't locked into a single build yet.
Masterwork Caches at Ranks 13 and 17 are where things get genuinely useful. Masterworked gear is a significant power jump, and getting two shots at it through the Glints of Hope track is solid value.
Ancient Memory Rare Experience Caches and Tomes (Ranks 14, 16, 18, and 22) stack well with other experience sources if you're pushing through Paragon levels.
Mystery Greater Archetype Caches at Ranks 19 and 23 are the best non-final rewards on the track. Greater Archetype gear tends to roll with stronger affixes, making these worth grinding toward even if Rank 24 feels out of reach.
How does this fit into Season 14's broader progression?
Glints of Hope sits alongside the rest of Season 14's seasonal content as a parallel track you'll naturally fill out while playing. You don't need to go out of your way to farm it specifically; running the seasonal content and targeting Ullo Sar's forces will generate points organically.
That said, if you're aiming for Rank 24 and that Resplendent Cache, you'll eventually need to treat it as a deliberate grind rather than passive progress. The jump from Rank 22 (12,430 points) to Rank 23 (15,160 points) alone is a substantial ask.

Pairing the reputation grind with efficient build choices matters too; the Season 13 best builds tier list gives a strong baseline for what class archetypes have been performing well heading into this season.
