Sells Items of Random Rarities in Exchange for Obols

The Purveyor of Curiosities is a special type of NPC that allows players to exchange Obols for a type of weapon or armor of random stats and rarity. Do note that while you can get Legendary equipment by trying your luck at the Curiosity Vendor, it is not guaranteed that you will get one within the first few rolls.

Item Type	Cost
One-Handed Weapons	50 Obols
Two-Handed Weapons	100 Obols
Off-Hand Weapon (Focus and Totem)	50 Obols
Cap	50 Obols
Tunic	25 Obols
Gloves	50 Obols
Boots	25 Obols
Pants	25 Obols
Ring	50 Obols
Amulet	100 Obols
Whispering Key	10 Obols

Obols Have a Max Cap so Make Sure to Spend Them at the Curiosity Vendor

As with any type of currency, the temptation is there to save it for rolls later on. However, Obols in Diablo 4 will have a maximum capacity unlike Gold. Make sure to spend them before hitting max cap so you don't miss out on acquiring more Obols as you explore the open world. The max cap can be increased by raising your Renown.

How to Get Obols

Sells Whispering Keys to Open Silent Chests

One unique item that players can purchase from the Purveyor of Curiosities is the Whispering Key. These special keys that cost 20 Obols are used to open the Silent Chests you find in the open-world. Much like the items purchased from the Curiosity Vendor, these chests contain a random pile of loot, with a chance to drop Legendaries if you are lucky.
