Unable to buy from Gamble NPC

[Ethereal]

I am not in my hideout. I was on an alt on Caravan. Unable to purchase anything. I did gamble alot with Act 1 to get the gear I am currently using. But obviously want to do the same thing to upgrade again. I did move my main away from hideout just to test and here I am.

You have to kill rare monsters to get more chances to gamble. There is a small counter in the gambling store at the bottom right.

Ugh. But thanks for the answer.

endgame gambler doesn't have this restriction, they don't want you using your gold to get leveling gear for whatever reason.

For some reason, game developers would like you to play the game instead of having someone skip you past the best parts of it too easy (or skipping yourself past it)

It's because the gold cost scales to character level, as it bases the gold cost on the level range of gear youre likely to get.

I've seen the gamble purchases roll into Uniques.
As the Uniques base item is often very low level gear, having infinite gambles on a level 1 character would basically guarantee every low level unique since it's barely a couple hundred gold per try at that level.
A little more prohibitive when you're paying 10k per roll lol
