U4GM How to Farm Murmuring Obols Fast in Diablo IV Pit Tips

If you've ever stared at your build and thought, "I'm one Aspect away from this actually working," Murmuring Obols start to feel like a lifeline. They're the little safety valve when drops won't cooperate, because you can walk up to the Purveyor and roll the dice for a specific slot. I usually treat it like shopping for missing pieces, not treasure hunting, and I'll even check what I'm short on before I spend. If you're already browsing Diablo 4 Items to compare what you need, Obols are the in-game way to keep that same "target the gap" mindset without waiting on pure luck.

Fast Obols Early On

In the early game, nothing beats open-world events for steady Obols. Those orange circles are basically your paycheck. Finish the event, grab the reward, move on. You'll see people obsess over mastery, but here's the thing: if chasing mastery slows you down, it's often not worth it for Obols. The better habit is speed. Pick a compact route near a town, knock out events back-to-back, then pop to town and head right back out. It feels a bit cheesy, sure, but it keeps the currency coming and your downtime low.

Endgame: The Pit Loop

Once you're in the endgame and your character can clear content quickly, the Pit tends to take over. That final chest can dump a big pile of Obols, and the runs are clean and repeatable. The real win is you're not only farming currency—you're also progressing other systems at the same time. If you can run a tier you're comfortable with, you'll often outpace event farming per hour. Don't force the highest tier if it turns into a slog. A slightly lower tier that you can clear smoothly usually pays better over a session.

Extra Sources and Spending Smarter

Nightmare Dungeons are fine as a background source. You clear them for Glyph XP, and the Obols are just a bonus on top, plus the occasional cursed chest or shrine can juice the total. Side quests can help too, especially the ones that hand out Murmuring Caches for an instant bump. The big mistake, though, is forgetting the cap. Hitting the limit and wasting drops happens more than people admit. Push renown, grab Altars of Lilith, and raise your cap so you're not running back to town every few minutes; then spend in chunks on the slot you're actually trying to fix, the same way you'd hunt for cheap D4 items when you want upgrades without burning time.
