Diablo 4 has changed a lot since it originally released in 2023, but one feature still has players confused as to why it exists in Season 13.
Diablo 4 players are calling on Blizzard to uncap the max number of Obols one can have at a time. While Diablo 4 has undergone many changes over its nearly three-year life, including some drastic overhauls that Lord of Hatred made to several core features like the reworked Skill Tree, removal of potions, and streamlining of endgame content, a cap on the max Obols that a player can hold has existed from the very beginning.
Resource management has become more important than ever in Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred, now that the Horadric Cube allows players to alter gear to suit their needs. Now that any piece of gear in Diablo 4 can potentially be useful to a player’s build through Horadric Cube affix re-rolls or transmutations, having access to a steady supply of gear is incredibly helpful. Spending Obols to obtain base gear for upgrading is a common use for the currency, but the fact that Diablo 4 still limits how much of the currency a player can hold makes it less useful in Season 13 than it should be.
Diablo 4 Players Call for the Maximum Obol Limit to Be Uncapped
A post to Diablo 4‘s subreddit from user Colonel_dinggus lamenting the continued limit on the number of Obols a player can hold at any given time gained over 1.5k upvotes, with dozens of commenters agreeing with the poster. In this post, the user claims they were running an Escalating Nightmare Dungeon with the Obol Reserve affix and ended up maxing out their Obol capacity before even reaching the dungeon’s boss. The poster goes on to note that it feels bad leaving behind so much dropped currency that can’t be picked up simply because the game caps how many Obols a player can hold.
In Diablo 4, Obols can be used at the Purveyor of Curiosities to exchange for a random piece of gear of a particular type or a Whispering Key, which is used to open Silent Chests littered throughout Sanctuary. Obol gambling is often a great way to stock up on gear for use in Horadric Cube recipes and can even yield quality items like Legendaries and Uniques. Currently, Diablo 4 only allows players to have a maximum of 2,500 Obols at any time, and as user Colonel_dinggus notes, that amount isn’t even enough to fill an inventory with rings purchased from the Purveyor of Curiosities.
