Because Obols are so easy to farm, Whispering Keys are effectively disposable. This makes Silent Chests a low-risk way to gain extra loot without spending gold or relying on expensive upgrades appealing option compared to players who prefer to buy Diablo IV Items outright to speed up progression.
Best Practices: Always Carry Whispering Keys
Because Silent Chests are so rare, it's highly recommended to always keep one or two Whispering Keys in your inventory. They don't take up much space, they're cheap, and they save you from having to backtrack if you encounter a Silent Chest in an inconvenient location.
That said, even if you don't have a key on hand, Silent Chests don't despawn quickly. You can:
1. Mark the location
2. Fast travel to a town
3. Buy a Whispering Key
4. Return and open the chest
Still, carrying keys at buy d4 mats all times is simply more efficient.
