Local Events in Diablo 4 – What you Need to Know
What are local events in Diablo 4? During the leveling phase and later in the endgame, orange circles keep appearing on the map. These circles mark local events' locations and can occur outdoors and indoors.
What rewards are there for the local events? In addition to the traditional loot that enemies can drop during events, you will receive the special currency Obols. Whether you complete only the main event or the event's championship objectives, you will receive a correspondingly larger amount of Obols.
You can use Obols at the Curiosity Trader to participate in the equipment lottery. You buy non-identified items of a certain slot. How exactly these works is explained in a separate guide.
You will also receive additional gold and experience points and equipment, gems, and crafting materials for completing the event's main objectives. So it's worth completing the events.
