Total Obols indicators
Like gold, Obols do not take up an inventory slot, they are collected virtually in the inventory along with gold. You can see the amount you have when you expand your inventory screen.
To begin with, the maximum number of Obols you can hold in your inventory is 500, however, this can be increased by clicking on an Altar of Lilith. Doing so will increase the Obol capacity by 5.
Uses for Murmuring Obols
Gambling
The main reason players will want to collect Murmuring Obols is to gamble at the Purveyor of Curiosities.
Players can select a gear type they want to gamble for at a cost of Obols. Each gear type has a different cost ranging from 25 Obols up to 75.
What you receive when you make the selection of gear type will be random and it may be a useful piece of gear or complete trash.
During the Diablo 4 beta. the chance of getting a decent item was increased when gambling.
Keys
The Purveyor of Curiosities also sells Whispering Keys which are used to open Silent Chests which can be found all around Sanctuary.
