You reap a lot in Diablo IV. Among all the resources and materials, we find obols, linked to a “lottery” mechanism.
Diablo IV is a game in which players have to manipulate different materials, as well as resources collected during their adventures. Components to make elixirs, improve gems or strengthen his equipment. There are also currencies that can be found in the game. Gold coins, of course, but also obols.
These obols are linked to a “lottery” mechanism in Diablo IV. The aim of the game ? You collect a certain amount of it during your game, which you can then spend with certain vendors – who keep what is called a “cabinet of curiosities”. By spending them, you can acquire a piece of equipment, of uncertain quality.
Depending on the location of the part (gloves, boots, leggings, tunic, headdress, etc.), you will have to spend a different, but fixed amount of obols. For example, it takes 40 for a headdress, but 50 for a wand (if you are playing wizard or necromancer). A two-handed weapon goes up to 75 obols. You can also buy jewels or shields.
The number of obols is visible on the character sheet, which you can display with the “i” key on the keyboard. At the bottom of the sheet you have a small counter with purple coins, drilled in the center. These are the obols. Next to it you also have your gold coins and blood crystals. They too have special uses.
How to get obols in Diablo IV?
The collection of obols is done by completing random events in the world of Sanctuary. This currency can appear when you open a chest, with a variable amount. You can find them in the open world, but also in dungeons. Challenges await you everywhere, in each region: the more you do, the more you collect. It’s simple.
How to spend obols in Diablo IV?
You must contact the owners of the cabinets of curiosities. They are not present everywhere, but in the biggest cities, like Kyovashad at the Broken Peaks. You open a discussion with them and then choose the type of item that interests you. We recommend that you have enough obols in stock to make several draws in a row.
How many obols are needed per equipment?
Clothes cost 40 obols. This is the case of the headdress, the tunic, the gloves, the boots, the leggings. This is also the amount for equipment placed in the right hand. A one-handed weapon costs 50 obols and a two-handed weapon 75. You can also spend coins for a whispering key that opens silent chests scattered around Sanctuary.
In summary :
- One-handed weapon: 50 obols
- Two-handed weapon: 75 obols
- Piece of equipment: 40 obols
- Ring: 40 obols
- Amulet: 60 obols
- Whispering key: 20 obols
What do you get with Diablo IV obols?
Pieces of equipment, weapons, jewels and amulets, but with uncertainty about their quality. This is where the concept of a lottery comes in: you draw an item, but it can be abysmal mediocrity or absolutely terrific. So, for 40 obols, we got a shabby tunic. Then, in the next draw, a legendary coin.
The quality of items in Diablo IV is divided according to the following scale: common (white), magic (blue), rare (yellow) and legendary (orange). The items in the first two tiers are of almost no interest — however, they are the ones that you will statistically have the most. Rare items can improve your stuff. But it’s the legendaries that are the most desired, of course.
On the left, a ridiculous first draw…
On the right, a satisfactory second draw.
Can the obols be reimbursed?
No. If you had a bad draw, you’ll have to live with it. Items are neither taken back nor exchanged. Do not try to attack the seller, he is untouchable.
