This is how you get the spiteful hearts
How do I start the quest? In order to start the new quest line in Season 1, you must have completed the campaign. In Kyovashad you will then meet Cormond, where you start the quest. He will accompany you on the journey against the newest threat.
How do I get the spiteful hearts? As your journey progresses, you will encounter new vicious elite foes. If you defeat them, they will drop a spiteful heart. With a click on the heart, the special opponents are reborn and you have to fight them again. As a reward, they will then drop the “Imprisoned Heart” for you to pick up and use.
Most of the corrupted vicious monsters can be found in the new Tunnels of Viciousness. On the map, these tunnels look like a dungeon, but have a small, green leaf as a marker.
4-5 hearts can be farmed in a tunnel. You summon one of the malicious monsters by using a so-called seeker in the tunnel, which you will receive in the course of the quest line.
There are 32 different mischievous hearts in 4 categories
What Kinds of Wicked Hearts Are There? There are 32 different mischievous hearts (via blizzard.com) in four different colors. All award bonuses to your build and represent four categories:
Orange: mean heart – attack power
Blue: Brutal Heart – Defense Strength
Pink: devious heart – versatility
Black: wrathful heart – super strength
the respective color of the heart only fits into the same color of the base in jewellery
the black hearts are very rare and fit in every socket

Developer Comment: Imprisoned Hearts can be traded between players as we want Hearts to feel like success for slaying the challenging mischievous monsters. However, Spiteful Socket trinkets can be traded to ensure there are multiple sources of Spiteful Socket trinkets to match the caged hearts players have earned.

Unfortunately, the spiteful hearts cannot be stacked, so they quickly fill up your chest and inventory. However, there are a few things you can do to keep collecting important loot and not clog up with the new gems.
Disassemble, exchange & craft hearts
Can I dissect the hearts? You can disassemble wicked hearts at Cormond’s workbench and obtain wicked ooze. You can find Cormond’s workbench first in Kyovashad, recognizable on the map with a table symbol and a small green leaf.
Since the hearts cannot be stacked and you will get many hearts with the same properties, disassembling makes sense.
From the spiteful secretion you can create new hearts and seekers:
Do I get the spiteful hearts back when disassembling jewelry? No. If you dismantle amulets and rings with spiteful hearts in the sockets, you won’t get them back. This is different from the previous gems.
Also, you can’t exchange or unsocket them. So if you find a new, better heart, you’ll have to wait until you find new jewelry with matching colored sockets to use with it.
Once you get into endgame, you probably won’t switch builds as often, so you don’t have to worry about running out of hearts. In addition, you get quite a lot of hearts in the tunnels, only the black ones are rare.
In addition to the new gems, the Battle Pass has also moved into Diablo 4 with Season 1. Learn more about the new content here:
