Obols currency

Purveyors only accept Murmuring Obols as a currency, which are most often obtained as rewards for completing Events. A player begins with the ability to hold 500 Obols and can increase this amount by 100 (for a total of 600) by finding specific Altars of Lilith. Players can't pick up new Obols if they've reached their limit, so it's advantageous to gamble at least some before this happens; otherwise, players have to Town Portal, gamble, and return.

Which items can be gambled for?

Players can gamble on items for any of their Class's equipable slots and receive anything from a Common to a Legendary item. Currently, no players have reported winning a Unique item, so it's either rare or impossible. All of the items received will scale to the player's current level.

Buying Whispering Keys

At the end of the Purveyor of Curiosities's list of items to gamble for, players will find an item called "Whispering Key" to purchase (not gamble on). These keys are the only way to open up Silent Chests, which are locked and found randomly throughout Sanctuary. If players want to quickly buy multiple keys, they can hold Shift and right-click to buy 5 at a time.
