Diablo 4 Boosting

Players, Goblin event is one of the most popular events in Diablo 4 Season 13. During the event, the spawn rate of Treasure Goblins will significantly increase across the entire map, making it a prime opportunity to farm various materials. So, how should we complete March of the Goblins, and which route should we use for efficient monster farming?

March of the Goblins Overview

Starting June 3rd, players first need to go to Kyovashad to accept the starting quest. This quest requires accumulating 600 Goblin Points, with 50 Points awarded for each Goblin killed.

Completing this quest will unlock Altar of the Goblins located in Kyovashad, which is Reputation Board for this event.

It's important to note that many players think the event is over once Reputation Board is full, but in reality, Reputation Board is just the beginning.

The real core value lies in repeatedly killing Goblins to obtain a massive amount of crafting materials, including materials for Horadric Cube, gold, and Forgotten Souls, among other scarce resources.

If you're consistently short of these materials, March of the Goblins can completely solve your resource shortage problem in one go.

Reputation Board Rewards and Important Notes

After completing Reputation Board, players will receive a series of chest rewards, and you can also receive additional chests whenever you accumulate a certain number of Goblins killed.

Additionally, here's a crucial reminder: during March of the Goblins, you must regularly return to Goblin statue in Kyovashad to collect these chests.

Because if you don't collect all the rewards before the end of March of the Goblins, i.e., before June 17th, all unclaimed rewards will disappear. So don't just focus on farming monsters and forget to come back and open the chests.

Avoid Inefficient Farming Areas

Many players rush to Infernal Hordes immediately upon hearing about Goblin event, because Chaos event and Chaos Wave can indeed quickly fill up Reputation Board.

The problem is that farming Infernal Hordes yields almost no substantial material rewards, meaning you only get Reputation Board's reward and miss out on the true value of March of the Goblins.

Although The Pits contains a lot of Greed Shrines, it is not suitable for farming Goblins because the monsters in The Pits do not drop Diablo 4 items. All rewards are distributed only at the end, making the extra materials from Goblins completely unobtainable.

Kurast Undercity suffers from the same issue: all materials and drops are fixed in the final rewards.

Therefore, all three modes are only suitable for quickly clearing Reputation Board in March of the Goblins, rather than being a truly efficient way to farm materials.

Best Farming Area Comparison and Recommendations

If you have already unlocked Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred, you can choose to prioritize going to Nahantu region. If you don't have expansion, PvP area is an excellent alternative. Some players have found seven or eight Goblins within five minutes in PvP area, with impressive results in testing.

Furthermore, Hoarfrost Demise Dungeon remains a classic route favored by players every season.

If you don't find Goblins or shrines in Hoarfrost Demise Dungeon, simply exit and reset the dungeon. This repeated resetting is similar to farming gems during the season.

Core Tip 1: Disable Cross-Platform Play

Before starting any Goblin event, the first thing you absolutely must do is log out of Diablo 4, then go to the settings and find the connection-related options. Disable Cross-Platform Play, then log back into the game.

This significantly increases your Goblin spawn rate. Because if you turn on Cross Network Play, you'll encounter a large number of other players who will steal your Goblins before you even arrive.

Disabling it essentially puts you in a more private server, where the number of Goblins is significantly higher and there's no competition for them.

Core Tip 2: Hire Subo

If you have Nahantu and have unlocked the mercenary Subo, be sure to bring him along, as Subo is practically the god of Goblin hunting.

In practice, you need to zoom the game view to a suitable distance and frequently open the large map to scan, because Subo's marking range on the map is far greater than the display range on the minimap.

You can see a Goblin's location on the large map, but at the same time, it won't appear on the minimap at all. This is Subo's power. With his help, you can see Goblin markers on the minimap that are far beyond the normal field of view.

Core Tip 3: Proper Use of Greed Shrines

During March of the Goblins, Greed Shrines will produce additional special effects. You need to find these shrines on the map.

Before finding the shrines, try not to kill any monsters in the vicinity, because after you activate Greed Shrine, these surviving monsters will be used to trigger Greed Shrine effect. The more monsters you kill, the faster Greed Shrine respawns.

There are some fixed locations in Nahantu area where Greed Shrines will spawn. Simply run around the map repeatedly to find them. Once you activate a shrine, quickly clear the surrounding monsters and move on to the next shrine location.

By following this route and technique in Diablo 4, you can completely acquire any materials you're missing during this March of the Goblins!

On June 5, 2023, Diablo 4 launched amidst the high expectations of countless ARPG players; as of this year, it has now completed three full years of operation.

Coincidentally, June 5, 2026, marking the game's 3rd anniversary, falls right within the active window of Season 14 3.1 PTR (June 2-9). Consequently, the 3rd Anniversary Celebration has been scheduled to take place during this very same timeframe.

This means that throughout this week, you can fully enjoy the festivities and rewards of the anniversary celebration while simultaneously exploring the various major mechanical overhauls introduced by PTR.

In this guide, we will primarily introduce the events scheduled for the 3rd Anniversary Celebration, as well as the main methods for participating in 3.1 PTR.

How to join 3.1 PTR?

If you are interested and have some spare time when participating in the anniversary festivities, be sure to join 3.1 PTR as well to get a feel for the potential mechanical changes coming in Season of Pandemonium.

PTR begins at the exact same time as the 3rd Anniversary Celebration. Once it starts, you can log in, create a new character, and locate NPC named Morac.

From there, you can choose whether to experience 3.1 PTR from scratch or jump directly into the endgame content, depending on your preference.

However, regardless of which path you choose, a robust gear setup is essential to ensure a smooth and effective testing experience.

With this in mind, IGGM has launched a series of related giveaways on Discord. By participating, you stand a chance to win items such as Lair Boss Keys, helping you unlock even more rare gear!

Alternatively, you can choose to import an existing character to experience 3.1 PTR. However, be sure to complete this import before creating a new character; otherwise, your new character's data will be overwritten and erased.

3rd Anniversary event schedule

The celebration kicked off on June 2 at 10:00 AM PDT. The first events to go live are two classics you should already be quite familiar with: Mother's Blessing and March of the Goblins. These events will remain active until June 9, when the celebration concludes.

Additionally, from 12:00 PM PDT on June 2 through the same time on June 6, Diablo 4 will offer a daily gift that can be claimed directly from the in-game shop, totaling five gifts in all. You have until June 9, the end of the anniversary event, to claim any of these gifts.

Mother's Blessing

This is a limited-time beneficial event. Aside from special milestones like anniversaries, Diablo 4 typically hosts this event during the mid-to-late stages of a season, allowing you to acquire more resources before the season concludes and thereby enhancing your overall gameplay experience.

More specifically, during Mother's Blessing event, regardless of whether your character resides in Seasonal or Eternal Realm, the amount of gold dropped from any combat activity increases by 50%, while XP gained increase by 35%.

Upon logging into the game, if you notice a small buff icon appearing above your experience bar, it signifies that Mother's Blessing is active, meaning you can start farming immediately!

It is worth noting that while Mother's Blessing effect is active, other in-game gold and XP bonuses remain available; this means you can stack these effects to further maximize your final rewards.

If your goal is to gain more XP, the best strategy is to utilize special Elixirs. If you are looking to acquire more gold, you can use Sigils with gold-boosting affixes and then clear Nightmare Dungeons.

If you have unlocked Lord of Hatred expansion, you can also leverage Horadric Seal and War Plan Upgrade Tree nodes. For instance, Jade Epiphany node within The Undercity Upgrade Tree generates Experience Orbs for you whenever you increase your Attunement Level.

March of the Goblins

Once this event begins, various types of Treasure Goblins will spawn in large numbers across the world; defeating them yields substantial amounts of gold, crafting materials, or other valuable loot.

Notably, if you wish to combine this event with Mother's Blessing to maximize your gold earnings, you should prioritize hunting down Gilded Baron goblins, which are distinguished by their yellow color.

If you want to generally increase your chances of encountering various goblins, one effective method is to complete Avarice the Gold-Cursed World Boss encounter, as large groups of goblins will spawn throughout the battle.

Additionally, Greed Shrines found within Nightmare Dungeons offer an excellent way to acquire gold. The shrine itself grants a temporary buff lasting approximately 15 to 30 seconds, causing enemies to drop gold whenever you strike them and simultaneously increasing your gold pickup radius.

During March of the Goblins event, activating a Greed Shrine will spawn multiple Treasure Goblins, further amplifying your rewards. In addition to direct item drops, defeating Goblins allows you to earn event-specific reputation points on the dedicated reputation board.

As your point total increases, your reputation tier will rise, enabling you to obtain even more loot drops from subsequent Goblin kills. Upon reaching the highest tier during this event, you will be rewarded with Regalia of the Sacred Creed, a cosmetic mount armor set!

Even if you complete the reputation board before the 9th, your event experience is far from over; typically, Goblin rewards can be farmed infinitely throughout the designated event period.

Shop gifts

During the anniversary celebration, Diablo 4 is releasing five special gifts. You have the option to claim each gift on its specific release day, or you may wait and claim all of them at once before the festivities conclude. Below is the full list of gifts and their respective release dates:

• Day 1: Blood Raven's Talon (One-handed Sword Cosmetic)
• Day 2: King Kanai's Last Stand (Shield Cosmetic)
• Day 3: Nangari Wounder (Dagger Cosmetic)
• Day 4: Overlord's Odium (Two-handed Axe Cosmetic)
• Day 5: Flamefinger's Claws (Glaive Cosmetic)

That wraps up everything we have to share with you regarding this event. All the activities mentioned above are now live, and the first gift is already available. So, without further ado, jump into the game and enjoy this action-packed week!
