Diablo 4 March of the Goblins Guide: Best Loot Farming Tips & Rewards

Aug-02-2025

 

Diablo 4 Season 9 is in full swing — and the March of the Goblins event has officially begun!

Running from July 29 to August 5, this limited-time event dramatically increases Treasure Goblin spawn rates across Sanctuary, giving players a golden opportunity to farm massive amounts of Diablo 4 gold, Legendary items, and even Mythic Uniques.

 

But don't think you can just stroll through the Fractured Peaks and stumble across goblin riches. These greedy little monsters are fast, sneaky, and vanish in seconds. That's why we've gathered the most effective player-proven strategies to help you farm smarter, earn faster, and get the most out of your Goblin grind before the clock runs out.

 

 

Why Goblin Event Is Worth Your Time

Unlike the more passive "Gift of the Tree" event earlier this season, March of the Goblins rewards active exploration and combat. Treasure Goblins have a higher chance to spawn not just in open-world zones, but also in PvP areas, Helltides, and Nightmare Dungeons—especially those with the Treasure Breach affix, which can spawn over 30 goblins in one run.

 

The best part? The event also reactivates the Goblin Reputation Statue in Kyovashad, allowing you to unlock bonus rewards, including a Resplendent Spark—one of the rarest materials used to craft Mythic Unique gear. It's the ideal time to fine-tune your character or catch up if you're returning mid-season.

 

Top Tips to Maximize Your Goblin Hunt

1. Check Your Map Frequently

Instead of relying on instinct, use your mount to travel short distances, then open your map. Goblins appear as icons shortly after spawning — don't miss them by running past!

 

2. Farm in PvP Zones

PvP areas like Fields of Hatred have higher goblin spawn rates than average. But if you're not in the mood for getting ambushed by a Rogue while mid-loot, turning off crossplay can turn these zones into solo farming goldmines.

 

3. Activate Greed Shrines

Activating Greed Shrines increases both goblin appearances and bonus Diablo 4 gold drops. Prioritize these when exploring Helltides or running dungeons.

 

4. Goblins Aren't Equal — Know What You're Hunting

Diablo 4 now features six different types of Treasure Goblins, each with unique loot pools:

 

Fancy Old Fedric (Mythic Purple) – Rare as hell, drops a Mythic Unique and a Spark

 

Gilded Baron (Yellow) – Drops a huge amount of Diablo 4 gold

 

Glittering Prym (Diamond) – Drops runes, Undercity Tributes, and gem fragments

 

Curious Murl (Purple) – Loaded with Murmuring Obols

 

Gelatinous Syrus (Blue) – Splits into smaller goblins, great for gear/materials

 

Odious Ector (Green) – Packed with crafting materials

 

If you're hunting for high-tier rewards, target Glittering Prym to fast-track endgame builds, or Curious Murl for a massive Obol stockpile to use at the Purveyor of Curiosities.

 

5. Use Dungeons with "Treasure Breach" Affix

Some Nightmare Dungeons spawn 30+ goblins in one run with the Treasure Breach modifier. Combine this with Greed Shrines and Diablo 4 items will rain from the sky.

 

How to Get Your Free Resplendent Spark

A recent hotfix has resolved the Kyovashad reputation statue bug, and players can now complete the Goblin reputation track as intended. Finishing this track rewards you with bonus Diablo 4 items, a full cache of crafting resources, and an additional Resplendent Spark—a key material for crafting a Mythic Unique. If you've been holding out for that perfect roll, this is the perfect opportunity to push your build to endgame-ready status.

 

Player Feedback

While players are enjoying the sheer volume of loot, many are questioning whether quantity alone is enough. With both the Gift of the Tree and March of the Goblins events centered around random rewards, some feel that the current system lacks the precision needed to chase god-roll Uniques or build-defining affixes. The desire for more targeted, rewarding endgame content is growing—especially among high-level players.

 

That said, with Season 10 rumored to launch in September, March of the Goblins may be Blizzard's final push to keep engagement high before the next big update.

 

Final Thoughts

All in all, March of the Goblins is your golden opportunity. With just a few days left, the March of the Goblins might not last long—but the loot you earn can carry you all the way through the next season. Happy hunting!
