Their immediate use is not apparent, and some players seem to be having a tough time trying to understand what these resources can be used for.

This guide will go over everything you need to know about Murmuring Obols and Whispering Key in Diablo 4, along with how to obtain more of them.

Using Murmuring Obols and Whispering Key in Diablo 4

Murmuring Obols is an in-game resource that you can use for valuable items. To do so, make your way to the Purveyor of Curiosities shop, marked on your map with a bank icon. Thereafter, you will be able to purchase the following items:

• All weapons specific to your character class
• Cap
• Tunic
• Gloves
• Boots
• Pants
• Whispering Key

Use Murmuring Obols to get your hands on these valuable items in Diablo 4. Each of them is quite rare, and you might need to spend upto 75 Obols to obtain the item.

However, simply spending Obols does not guarantee a rare drop. There is a fair bit of RNG present in the Purveyor of Curiosities, hence, you must spend this resource wisely.

They can be obtained for 20 Obols and it’s advised that during any given point in your progress in the RPG, you have one of these in your inventory.

To see the number of Murmuring Obols you are carrying, make your way to the Character menu and view the currency at the bottom of the screen.
