I'm going to have start farming these. Does anyone know how long the gold buff is going to last?

I played for an hour and a half last night and got a ton of legendaries and set plans.  Finally got the recipe for Aughild's set.  But for some reason, half the legendaries I got on my witch doctor looked like they were designed for a crusader.  Kind of frustrating.

Random chance to spawn the Goblin Vault when you kill a Goblin outside of a rift.  I have killed multiple goblins in rifts and never saw a portal, yet I've gotten 2 portals outside of rifts.  ATM Act 1 Halls of Agony Level 2 has a guaranteed double spawn somewhere on the level, so you can use that.  I also think you need to reset the game once you clear the vault.
Goblin Vault cannot spawn inside rifts and the Halls of Agony has been nerfed into the ground already.

I've killed maybe 30 outside rifts with no portal. But I have ultra shitty luck with that sort of thing; ymmv.

The community buff right now is treasure goblins spawning in pairs so that's probably upping the amount of portals that you see.

I failed at the very end of 24 (solo) when the boss killed me with not enough time to run all the way back from the entry checkpoint, but there would have been enough on the clock to finish his last ~5% health.  So I'm sure I can reach 25, I just don't know that I could get through it.  But, that's enough to upgrade gems to the secondary bonus reliably.

It works best for me to treat them like a path of exile run--kill only packs of 3 or more and all elites except for the flying ghosts, and otherwise ignore anything that's alone or big and full of extra hp (stuff like the disentombed)

Got the pet gem and one that adds damage for increased range between you and the target; my poison dart WD will be happy...

Ah it was still working for me last night.  Another spot, although can be annoying.. is the Spider Cave in Act1.  There is the purple named spider that has a goblin webbed.  I got my first vault portal from that guy.

Treasure Goblins also spawn pretty regularly in Arreat Core in Act III.  It's a really small, narrow area and they tend to spawn in the first quarter, so I was able to burn through a bunch last night.  The Vault is awesome, I got two legendaries and a set item as well as about 30m gold.

The fetish count IS awesome!

What difficulty were you playing when you got hit that treasure vault? Also do you have any idea what your GF was?

I'm using some gold find gear (~2700% gf) and am on torment 2 and am kinda curious how much I might get. Also not sure if I would just be better off going through t4 with my normal gear on.

I just made 34million and 4 legendaries on a treasure vault on T3, with no gf gear. Goblins were one of the usual pack in Northern Highlands.

Torment 1, no significant gold find gear.  I'll double-check later tonight what the actual value is.

Did they buff mages or something?  I logged on last night for a bit on my under geared mage and facerolled Master, which was what I was mostly playing before.  I then upped the difficulty to T1 and it was pretty much the same so I then went to T2.  Not exactly facerolling there but its still very doable.

Every class got buffed it seems. My DH who was having severe problems in t6 before is now steamrolling it with no issues, now it's a matter of upgrading all these legendary gems.

Hmm, so reading that it seems like its more beneficial to have 2H weapon than a 1H+off hand.  Or has it always been like that?

All 2 handed weapons got a fairly heafty buff to their base damage ranges, which probably puts their raw damage numbers out to be > a comparative 1H + OH combo.  Chances are most people are going to want a 2H now, over a 1H+OH combo unless the OH has specific special synergy bonuses for builds.

If you already had the 2h though, it didn't get a buff, right?  Only applies to new drops?

Yeah.  Those two set hand crossbows that do Vault shit got a REAL buff.  Like, almost double.

Nope, its retroactive to every 2 hander in the game already as well.

I picked up a new Danetta's revenge this morning.  It was double the damage of the one in my stash.  I suspect that's NOT just good rolls, since the Danetta's stuff was fairly mediocre before.

When I look at the new one side by side with both the other identical one and the other one in the set it's...glaringly different.

Also, can I just add, and I'm stopping myself from putting it all in caps :

The whole 'Shards need to be on the char you're online with now' is fucking, fucking, fucking lame as hell.  We used to not give a shit about that and now we have to.  ARG.

I've joined two public games to go rifting only to find my shards are on another character and I've effectively just joined to say 'hi' and look like an utter toolbag.
