Diablo 4 players are calling for Blizzard to release the maximum number of obols you can have at once. While Diablo 4 has gone through many changes during its nearly three-year life, including some drastic adjustments that Lord of Hatred made to several core features, such as a revamped Skill Tree, removal of potions, and streamlining of endgame content, a limitation on the maximum number of Obols a player can hold has been there since the beginning.
Resource management has become more important than ever Diablo 4: Lord of Hatrednow that the Horadric Cube allows players to change equipment to suit their needs. Now that there is any piece of equipment Diablo 4 can be potentially useful when building a player via rerolls or transmutations with the Horadric Cube. Having access to a steady supply of gear is incredibly useful. Spending obols to get basic gear to upgrade is a common use of currency, but the fact that Diablo 4 it still limits how much currency a player can hold, making it less useful in Season 13 than it should be.

Diablo 4 players are demanding the removal of the maximum Obol limit
Post for Diablo 4A subreddit by Colonel_dinggus lamenting the continued limit on the number of Obols a player can hold at any given time has received over 1.5k upvotes, with dozens of commenters agreeing with the poster. In this post, the user claims that they ran the Escalating Nightmare Dungeon with the Obol Reserve extension and ended up filling their Obol capacity before even reaching the dungeon boss. The poster goes on to note that it's a bad idea to leave behind so much cash that cannot be withdrawn simply because the game limits how many obols a player can hold.

IN Diablo 4Obols can be used at the curio vendor to exchange for a random piece of gear of a certain type or a Whispering Key, which is used to open Silent Chests scattered throughout the Sanctuary. Obol gambling is often a great way to stock up on gear to use in Horadric Cube recipes, and can even yield quality items like Legendaries and Uniques. Currently, Diablo 4 allows players to have a maximum of 2,500 Obols at any one time, and as user Colonel_dinggus notes, this amount is not even enough to fill the inventory with rings purchased from the curiosity vendor.
Other commenters shared the original poster's frustration and questioned why there was a cap on it Diablo 4 currency exists even when other sources do not have the same type of restrictions. One user suggested that the Obol cap is probably a holdover from an older version Diablo 4at a time when there were fewer resources for farming the Obols. With the introduction of features like Escalating Nightmares and Curious Murl the Treasure Goblin, Obols are easier to find and the resource limit feels arbitrary and outdated.

To alleviate the headaches of traveling to and from dungeons to spend obols or risk losing those left behind, some users have suggested simply increasing the cap, possibly increasing with the highest level of The Pit of the Artificer the player has cleared. Others chimed in and said the Obol limit should be scrapped entirely. WITH Diablo 4 now 13 seasons deep, there's still no sign that this Obol cap will ever be addressed.
