DIABLO 4: HOW TO FIND THE WHISPERING KEYS (SILENT CHESTS GUIDE)

Whispering Keys are a curious item Diablo IV players need to open Silent Chests: a unique type of treasure chest that contains a randomized selection of loot and gold. Silent Chests spawn at random throughout the open world, giving players lucky enough to stumble across them a chance to obtain higher-quality gear.

However, as there’s no way of telling where and when Silent Chests will spawn, it’s highly recommended that players always carry a few Whispering Keys with them as they journey across Sanctuary. It’s always a good idea to open a Silent Chest; players can equip any useful gear items they find and use Diablo IV’s salvage and transmog mechanics to recover useful materials from any items that don't match their current gear stats, or character builds.

How To Find Whispering Keys In Diablo IV

Whispering Keys can be purchased from Purveyor of Curiosities vendors, such as Lizveth in Kyovashad, for 20 Murmuring Obols. Murmuring Obols are special currency players obtain from participating in random world events. Purveyor of Curiosities vendors also sell random gear drops: players can select what type of item they’d like to purchase, such as a bow or tunic. They will receive a random item in that category.

Players will need to think carefully about whether to spend their Murmuring Obols on Whispering Keys and Silent Chests or on the Purveyor of Curiosities’ random loot drops.

Silent Chests are arguably the best option for adventurers looking for a bit of extra gold and a broader selection of gear. In contrast, purchasing loot from the Purveyor of Curiosities is better suited for players searching for a specific type of gear to fit into their character builds.

How To Obtain Murmuring Obols In Diablo IV

As mentioned above, Murmuring Obols can only be obtained by completing random world events, so it’s highly recommended that players keep an eye on their maps while out exploring. There is a wide range of different world events, ranging from battling waves of enemies to destroying enemy structures. These can be surprisingly challenging, regardless of which Diablo IV character class players pick, so they are best completed with friends and other players roaming the same area.

Completing a single world event will give players enough Murmuring Obols to purchase a Whispering Key.

However, it’s also worth putting in the effort to complete the extra Mastery objectives for each world event. This increases the reward drops on completion, so players should always try to rally together and complete them.

With enough Murmuring Obols, players should be able to purchase Whispering Keys to open any Silent Chests they come across. Despite their random nature, they offer extra opportunities to obtain better gear and salvage material, and Diablo IV players should take advantage of them whenever possible.
