Diablo 4 Murmuring Obols are an in-game currency that can be used to unlock rare and legendary items for your characters. Here’s how you can get them. 

Diablo 4 features numerous loot that can be obtained from deadly bosses, quests, and events that occur in the game’s apocalyptic world. One of the most useful items is Murmuring Obols, which enable adventurers to unlock a variety of weapons, armor, and Whispering Keys. 

It’s worth noting that you will be gambling with your Obols, as each reward from the Purveyor of Curiosities is completely random and can range from common quality to legendary quality.

This makes locating Murmuring Obols incredibly important in Diablo 4, especially if you want to get your hands on some legendary gear. So, if you’re struggling to find Murmuring Obols in Diablo 4, then our guide has you covered.

Murmuring Obols can reward you with some powerful weapons and items.

Murmuring Obbols can be acquired from Local Events Rewards. Local Events are optional quests that players can complete in order to earn extra rewards like experience points, gold, and a Greater Radiant Chest. 

These events appear as orange circles on the mini-map, so simply head towards them in order to begin the Local Event. At this time, the events do not appear on the world map, so you will need to run around large open areas in order to find one of these events.

It’s important to note, that some of them will be much harder to complete, so you’ll need to be ready for a challenge. 

There will be two objectives to complete during these events; the main objective and a mastery objective.

To get the regular amount of Obols, you’ll just need to focus on the main objective and loot the Radiant Chest that drops when the event is complete.

Completing the mastery objective will give you a Greater Radiant Chest that drops double the amount of Obols at the end of each event.

You do not have to complete the mastery objective in order to get Obols from the chests, but it does give a significant boost and cuts down on your farming time.

Murmuring Obols uses in Diablo 4

Murmuring Obols are used to acquire items from the Purveyor of Curiosities – an NPC that offers players the chance to secure rare and legendary items in exchange for Obols. It’s important to note that the item rewarded will be completely random, and it will scale with your character’s level.

This means you’ll need to farm up a lot of Obols if you wish to increase your chances of securing the best items on offer. 

You can also use the Obols to purchase Whispering Keys, which are used to open Silent Chests. These chests can be found all over the map in Diablo 4 and can contain gold, potions, legendary gear or weapons, and even some raw materials.

So, there you have it, that’s how you can get Murmuring Obols in Diablo 4. Make sure you check out our Diablo page for all the latest news and guides.
