How To Obtain Murmuring Obols
- I learned that the simplest way to farm Obols is through Outworld events.
- You can either complete these solo or in groups as they spawn across the map.
- I figured out that you can collect up to 20 Murmuring Obols from each event.
- However, this can be to a maximum of 35 if you also complete the Mastery requirement for the event.
The events include a variety of challenges for you to complete. These are:
- Liberation quest in which you have to free captives.
- Caravan under Siege, where you have to defend a Caravan from enemies.
- Fighting against mini-bosses in Culled The Wicked.
- Ancient Siphon where you have to destroy pillars.
Events are displayed in red circles on the map. Rewards depend on completing missions with or without extra challenges. Completing challenges with friends is easier and offers better rewards. Some missions are tough but yield higher rewards.
Look out for side and Dungeon quests that offer Obols as rewards. Some dungeons have extra chests and shrines but don’t drop Obols, making finding them challenging.
Certain side quests, like “Secret of the Spring,” offer Obols, but their rewards are random. Opening chests may lead to side quests that reward Obols through Murmuring Caches, containing up to 50 Obols.
Using Murmuring Obols
- Once you receive Obols, they won’t be in your bag. However, you can see them in your inventory.
- You must open “Material and Stats” from your character sheet.
- Now that you have acquired a bunch of the currency, you can start using it.
- I learned by playing a lot that you can use them in Purveyor of Curiosities Vendor, where you must trade them for equipment and other items.
The options available are:
- The first method is by exchanging weapons and armor. You can use Obols to buy weapons or armor, however these are random so the chances of you finding a rare item are thin. Considering farming Obols isn’t a tedious job, you can upgrade your gear easily. Look at the list below to recognize some of these items and their prices.
- Sword, Axe, Mace – 50 Obols
- Cap, Tunic, Gloves, Pants – 40 Obols
- Two-handed Axe, Two-handed Sword – 75 Obols
- Another method is trading for Whispering Keys. You can exchange 20 Murmuring Obols for one Key. These keys can be used to open Silent Chests, in which you have higher chances to find rare or even legendary items.
Purveyors of Curiosities can be found in some major cities such as Kyovashad and Lizveth. There is a merchant icon on the map representing these vendors. You can also find Silent Chests all over the map, so make sure you collect a bunch of keys and open these to find valuable items.
How To Increase Capacity Of Murmuring Obols
At the start, you can carry a maximum of 500 Obols at a time. Fortunately, you can increase this capacity for yourself. There are three ways to do this.
Increase Renown
- One of the rewards of increasing Renown in each region on the map is increasing your Obols capacity.
- In my experience, you can find Renown by completing quests, finishing bounties, and killing elite enemies.
- Your Obols will automatically increase after you earn enough Renown in an area. Remember, this only unlocks on World Tier 3.
Complete Regional Challenge
- You must also increase your maximum Obols capacity by completing Region Progress challenges.
- These challenges have different levels, and your capacity will increase up to 80 Obols on level four.
- You must perform this for other regions, too.
Find Altars Of Lilith
- These are prestigious statues located all over the map in different regions.
- Interacting with these statues adds attributes to your character.
- Some of these statues also increase your Obols capacity.
- Some statues are in Fractured Peaks, Hawazer, and Dry Steppes.
My Thoughts
I have spent too much time playing Diablo 4. It made me realize that earning Murmuring Obols is an important aspect of this game. Furthermore, I will recommend you use the Obols to get Whispering Keys, as they hold much value and can help you get essential items.
