2) Gambling at the Purveyor of Curiosities

If grinding boss farming feels like too much work, try your luck at the Purveyor of Curiosities. You can use farmed Obols to gamble for Unique items. That said, the chance of obtaining a Mythic Unique like Shattered Vow is extremely low. Still, this method can be a good way to spend your excess Obols if you're actively farming them.

Unfortunately, both of these ways are quite grindy.
