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 | |
| Two-Handed Weapons | |
| Off-Hand Weapon (Focus and Totem) |
|
| Cap | |
| Tunic | |
| Gloves | |
| Boots | |
| Pants | |
| Ring | |
| Amulet | |
| Whispering Key |
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.

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.

Each Equipment slot is associated with certain Aspect types, and you can increase the chances of obtaining specific Aspects this way. Below is a list of Equipment types that cost the least Murmuring Obols and have the smallest possible number of matching Aspects.
| Aspect Type | Best Equipment Type to Purchase |
|---|---|
| Offensive | ・Offhand (only rolls Offensive Aspects) |
| Defensive | ・Pants (only rolls Defensive Aspects) |
| Resource | ・Ring |
| Utility | ・Boots (Utility or Mobility) |
| Mobility | ・Boots (Utility or Mobility) |
| Purveyor of Curiosities Locations |
|---|
|
・ Major Cities ・ Citadel ・ Tree of Whispers ・ Training Areas |
The Purveyor of Curiosities can be located in almost all major locations in Sanctuary, including cities, the Citadel, the Tree of Whispers, and also the Training Area. You won’t be able to change builds mid-dungeon or during other content unless you return to these locations.
Interactive Map: All Regions in Sanctuary

To unlock the Purveyor of Curiosities, players will first need to complete the Prologue of Diablo 4 and reach Kyovashad. After finishing the Prologue, you will be free to explore the entirety of the open-world and locate the different Purveyor of Curiosities on the map.
