Teleport In and Out of Radiance Field Cemetery

Obols are most easily found by completing World Events which spawn around the map. From our testing, Radiance Field Cemetery, located just south of Kyovashad, is by far the best World Events location for farming Obols.

The trick is to complete an event, teleport to another location, then step back into the portal to return to this area. This has a high chance of resetting the area with a new World Event, allowing you to chain together repeated instances and stack up Obols.

AFK Farming is Also Possible Here

Murmuring Obols can also be AFK farmed at Radiance Field Cemetery. The area is fairly well-known to frequently start World Events and players often drop by to clear the event or revive you if you happen to fall to enemies while you are away.

This is not the most efficient way of obtaining Obols compared to the teleport method, but it is a good way to earn some while doing something else. Just remember to check in on your character once in a while so the server does not boot you for inactivity.

Cleanse Cursed Chests and Shrines in Dungeons

As you explore Sanctuary, you will encounter Chests and Shrines that reward you with items and buffs, respectively. However, there is a small chance for the Chest or Shrine to be cursed. Cursed Chests and Shrines will spawn waves of enemies but upon clearing them, you will be rewarded for your efforts.

Get from Quest Rewards
