Title: Treasure Goblins Post by: Cheddar on July 15, 2012, 07:38:48 AM What is the latest farming spot? I tried Tristam and getting nada- maybe patched out that one?
Title: Re: Treasure Goblins Post by: Salamok on July 15, 2012, 11:38:07 AM My farming run atm is inferno wortham quest, I start out by hitting the cemetery which usually boosts my NV to at least 4 stacks, then I hit festering woods and get 4 more elites in a pretty small area plus maybe an event. then take the ferry to wortham to do the elite pack that spawns with the event there. All this takes a bit under an hour and I see from 0-2 treasure goblins and at least 9 elites.

I have a feeling goblin hunting could have been a game in itself... I see one and I don't care what I run into...gotta kill that goblin (fortunately my monk can handle most elites that the goblin invariably sucks me into).

Unless something has changed you can do a goblin every couple minutes there, even faster if you have a buddy doing it as well.

So you are not worried about having a 5 stack of NV before hitting the goblins?

So you are not worried about having a 5 stack of NV before hitting the goblins? Nope, I just throw on MF gear. I usually get 0-2 rares. With 2 people running it you're killing a goblin about every 3-5 minutes. You do need MF gear though (and anyone you run with) or you'll get a bunch of blues. I'm not sure this is really the most efficient way to farm but it's fairly safe and can be fun in small doses. I have noticed though that I get plan drops in Act 2, where in my Act 1 farm runs I never see any plans drop. That could just be RNG but it doesn't feel like it. Title: Re: Treasure Goblins Post by: Blackluck on July 16, 2012, 12:56:38 PM I'm pretty confident that you will not get anything but base plans in Act I. For Act I, I've gotten them all, repeatedly, but just the base, not "fine" or "grand", etc. In Act II I've gotten the 'fine' drops, plus a jewelry recipe. I've never seen a jewelry recipe in Act I (after a month or so of farming it.)

So anyway, it seems they can drop even in Act 1. |
