Diablo 4 players may finally have another way to get 6-Slot Horadric Seals
Diablo 4 Season 16 lets you gamble for Horadric Seals at the Purveyor.
It is the last day of the Diablo 4 Season 16 PTR, and now is the time to uncover the final little changes Blizzard made to the game.
And it turns out that the PTR has revealed another interesting addition to the Purveyor of Curiosities. You can now gamble for Mystery Horadric Seals!
The new option costs 100 Obols per purchase and becomes available through Tyreal's Boon War Plan. It is clearly not the cheapest way to spend your Obols, but it could become a useful alternative if you ever struggle to get the Horadric Seals you want.

This is particularly interesting because some seals can be really difficult to obtain through regular gameplay. The new gambling option could give you another way to get your hands on them, even if we still do not know exactly which seals can drop.
How to Gamble for Horadric Seals in Diablo 4
On the Season 16 PTR, the Purveyor of Curiosities has a new Mystery Horadric Seal option. Instead of choosing a specific equipment slot, you spend 100 Obols for a random seal.
You will not find this option immediately after creating a character, either. You need to pick the specific node in Tyrael's Boon War Plan, so you will need to progress before you can start spending your Obols on seals.
You have to pick the top-left path, and progress up to the Quality Seals node. This will add an entry that grants Horadric Seals of up to Magic/Rare/Legandary Rarity to your Purveyor. If you continue on the same path, you will reach Good Luck Charms, and this adds Charms up to Magic/Rare/Set/Unique Rarity as well.
So it is not really the Purveyor getting a new entry, but more bonuses you can get through Tyrael's Boons. Blizzard previously explained that the Curious Addition path would introduce new item types and improve the chances of obtaining higher-quality items from the vendor. So if you never really cared about Obols and gambling, you might want to this time.
You do need Lord of Hatred for this to be accessible. Seals and Charms can only be obtained if you own the expansion.
Could You Get Six-Slot or Mythic Seals?
This is where things could get interesting. Since the option gives you a random Horadric Seal, there is a possibility that it could offer some really good items.
The first point in these nodes only lets you obtain Magic Seals and Charms, the second point spent unlocks Rare ones, and the last point grants Legendary Seals or Set and Unique charms.
So for example, if you put 3 points into Quality Seals, a six-slot seal would be a particularly welcome result, considering how much time you can spend trying to get one through regular drops.
And once you know what Set you want, it can also be hard to get all 5 set charms. If you can gamble for them, you might get the 5-Set bonus earlier.
The only question that remains is: can you get Mythic Seals from the gambler?
In theory, the gambler has a very small chance of giving you a Mythic item when it comes to weapons or gear. But since none of the Boon's nodes mention Mythic Seals... It is currently hard to know if there is even a chance for those. We will have to wait for the live version and see if anyone gets lucky with it or not.
Just maybe do not directly spend your entire Obol stash expecting to walk away with a Mythic Seal.
But even if Mythics end up not being available through the Gambler, having another potential source for Legendary Horadric Seals and Set Charms is already pretty cool.
Just keep in mind that it is more of an endgame setup on Tyreal's Boons. When you start the season, you want to spend your points on things that are more useful during your leveling journey. And then you can respect later on when you want to gamble.
