The introduction of six new goblins in Diablo IV Season 7 adds diversity to the loot pool. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about maximizing your efficiency during the March of the Goblins event, including details on the new goblin types, rewards, farming methods, and the best locations/routes to farm new and treasure goblins in D4.

Diablo 4 Season 7 March of the Goblins Event

The March of the Goblins event in Diablo 4 Season 7 runs from March 4, 10 a.m. PST, to March 11, 10 a.m. PDT, unleashing hordes of Treasure Goblins across Sanctuary. This event not only increases the spawn rates of goblins across the world but also introduces six new variants of goblins, each offering specialized rewards to players, from D4 gold and crafting materials to rare items and unique mechanics. Unlike other seasonal events, these goblins will remain a permanent addition to the game after the event concludes, but the March of Goblins provides a prime opportunity to encounter them more frequently. Additionally, players can earn a Resplendent Spark, a powerful reward, by progressing through a new reputation system based on the number of goblins defeated during the event.

Types of Goblins and Rewards in Diablo 4 

1. Odious Ector

• Appearance: Green-colored goblin.

• Rewards: Drops crafting materials, including the rare Obducite, at Torment Level 1 or higher.

This goblin is a boon for crafters, as Obducite has limited sources in Diablo 4. Players should prioritize hunting these goblins to bolster their crafting resources.

2. Gilded Baron

• Appearance: Yellow-glowing goblin.

• Rewards: Drops large amounts of gold exclusively.

True to its name, the Gilded Baron is a treasure trove for players seeking to amass wealth quickly. Perfect for funding expensive upgrades or purchases.

3. Glittering Prym

• Appearance: Sparkles like diamonds in the sunlight.

• Rewards: Drops gem fragments and runes, and at Torment Level 1 or higher, also rewards Undercity Tributes and Scattered Prisms.

This goblin is a gem hunter’s dream, providing valuable materials for socketing and enchanting gear. Spotting its unique sparkle in sunlight will make it hard to miss.

4. Curious Murl

• Appearance: Purple-colored goblin.

• Rewards: Drops Murmuring Obols, and if killed while the player is at maximum Obol capacity, it drops a Bag of Obols, which can be stored in the inventory.

While the Obols themselves are highly desirable, the Curious Murl also addresses the inconvenience of losing currency due to capacity limits by dropping a bag for later use.

5. Gelatinous Syrus

• Appearance: A goblin that splits into smaller goblins when killed.

• Rewards: Drops Legendary Items, gold, boss summoning materials, and an elixir.

Fans may recognize this goblin from Diablo 3. When killed, it splits into two goblins, which each split into three more, resulting in six goblin kills total. However, their ability to scatter in different directions makes hunting them a challenge requiring quick reflexes and coordination.

6. Fancy Old Fedric

• Appearance: A rare, purple goblin.

• Rewards: Drops a Mythic Unique Item and a Resplendent Spark.

The most coveted and rarest goblin in the event. Fancy Old Fedric is rumored to be extremely difficult to find, but its unique rewards make it worth the effort. If encountered, players should prioritize killing it above all else.

Best and Fastest Way to Farm Goblins in Diablo 4 Season 7 

1. Sarat's Lair Dungeon

Sarat's Lair Dungeon features large areas filled with spiders that spawn additional spiders when killed, creating a chain reaction of potential kills. The dungeon always contains at least one shrine spawn, making it a reliable farming location. While the layout can be more complex and finding the shrine might take longer, the high monster density compensates by providing more opportunities for goblin spawns once you activate a Greed Shrine.

Steps

• Enter the S'Liar Dungeon.

• Search through the dungeon to locate a shrine.

• Determine if the shrine is a Greed Shrine.

• Activate the Greed Shrine immediately if found.

• Target and eliminate spider packs.

• Allow spiders to multiply and spawn more spiders.

• Keep killing spiders until goblins appear.

• Hunt down and eliminate all spawned goblins.

• Exit the dungeon if it's not a Greed Shrine.

• Reset the dungeon instance.

• Begin the process again from the first step.

2. Hoarfrost Demise Dungeon

This dungeon offers a more streamlined approach to goblin farming with its linear layout, making shrine hunting much more efficient. The dungeon guarantees a shrine spawn in every instance. While the monster density is lower compared to Sarat's Lair, the speed at which you can find and utilize shrines makes it an excellent alternative for players who prefer faster runs with more shrine attempts, even if each successful Greed Shrine activation might yield fewer goblins.

Steps

• Enter Hoarfrost Demise.

• Follow the linear path to find the shrine quickly.

• Check if the shrine is a Greed Shrine.

• Activate the Greed Shrine immediately if found.

• Eliminate all visible monsters.

• Move swiftly through the linear layout.

• Focus on killing dense monster packs.

• Hunt and kill any spawned goblins.

• Exit and reset immediately if it's not a Greed Shrine.

• Start the process over from the beginning.

3. Helltide Group Farming

This method involves coordinating with other players during Helltide events to maximize the efficiency of Greed Shrine usage. Multiple players can cover more ground to find Greed Shrines and combine their killing power to reach the monster kill thresholds faster, potentially spawning more goblins in a shorter time frame. The group dynamic also allows for better coverage of larger areas and the sharing of shrine locations.

Steps

• Form a group of four players.

• Enter the active Helltide area.

• Split the group to cover more ground.

• Communicate shrine locations to all group members.

• Alert everyone when a Greed Shrine is discovered.

• Have all group members gather at the shrine location.

• Activate the shrine once everyone is present.

• Split into predetermined farming zones.

• Kill monsters efficiently as a coordinated group.

• Announce when goblins spawn.

• Work together to eliminate goblins.

• Repeat the entire process when new shrines are found.

Best Treasure Goblin Farming Route in D4 Season 7

The best farming route for Treasure Goblins in Diablo 4, especially during the March of the Goblins event, revolves around two highly effective paths. One popular route is near Ked Bardu, where players can follow a simple, winding path along the coast. This route is short, easy to follow, and allows for quick trips back to town to unload loot due to its proximity to a Waypoint and the city itself. Alternatively, you can also focus on the eastern zones of Nahantu, leveraging creative mechanics like Subo and rapid map toggling to spot Goblins from greater distances. Both methods cater to different playstyles, with Ked Bardu being straightforward and efficient, while the second route offers a more tactical and rewarding approach for those willing to invest a bit more effort.
