Purgatory Smith's House is located in Purgatory, marking the beginning of the end-game phase, where gear becomes increasingly important as players face tougher creatures and work on acquiring their Purgatory Chains gear set (assuming they do not have Corrupted Ice or Delusional Silver gear from event maps).

Similar to The Gold Mines, three types of currency can be obtained here: Gold Dust, Shards, and Copper Coins—a new currency exclusive to Purgatory. The creatures in this area are much stronger compared to those outside this location.

Gold Dust can be earned through disenchanting, quests, Celestials, and locations like The Gold Mines. Shards can also be obtained from Celestials, The Gold Mines, and Purgatory Smith's House. Both currencies are crucial for mid-game activities like Alchemy, while Copper Coins are obtained from Slots if players possess the quest item, The Creator’s Lost Copper Coin, which can be obtained by completing the quest "The Magic of Purgatory" in Hell.

Copper Coins are utilized in later game mechanics such as Reincarnation, advanced quests, Gem Crafting, and Trinket Crafting.

The default drops for players fighting here include:

• 1–1,000 Gold Dust, Shards, and Copper Coins.
• For monsters in the first half of the creature list, there is a 1 in 500 chance, with up to 15% of your looting skill applied, to gain a unique item.
• For monsters in the second half or beyond, there is a 1 in 1,000 chance, with up to 15% of your looting skill, to gain a mythic item.

A 1 in 1,000 chance exists for an event to trigger that provides:

• 1–5,000 Gold Dust, Shards, and Copper Coins.
• For monsters in the first half of the creature list, a 1 in 250 chance, up to 30% of your looting skill applied, to gain a unique item.
• For monsters in the second half or beyond, a 1 in 500 chance, up to 30% of your looting skill, to gain a mythic item.

When this event triggers, a global message is sent out to excite players and encourage them to visit the location to battle and collect rewards.
