Allow Menagerist Goblins to drop Greater Rift keys

As title says. I always feel like Menagerist Goblins are lacking in rewards once you have the full cosmetics from them. I played this game for a long time and there’s nothing left for them to offer an old player like me. When I see them, they’re not really different than a Treasure Goblin loot-wise for me. Any other goblin have their distinctive loot and traits while Menagerist falls short and everyone complain about key farming to the point of being fixated on useless ideas.

So I come up with this; make Menagerist Goblin have a chance to drop one Greater Rift key at high Torment difficulties such as T10 and above. Scaling can start with 25% at T10 and each additional difficulty level above T10 adding 3% chance; it will top at 40% at T16. In case your Follower wearing Cain’s Set, then you will walk away with 2 Greater Rift keys from this deal at most.

With their rather low spawn rate, it won’t make a noticable impact. If their spawn rate is rather high for this sort of reward, it can be easily tweaked down as well. This way it will be a nice boost for key farming while doing bounties.
Also since Menagerist Goblins only can grant a total of 2 Greater Rift keys at T16 per encounter, that doesn’t encourage anyone to rabidly look for them when they can run a proper Nephalem Rift and stack them faster.

I wouldn’t mind if the Cain’s set doubled the number of keys instead of just being a 25% chance :slight_smile:

if you collected all the pet drops from them, they should reward you with their skin so you can look like a goblin! heh

While we’re at it, the Odious Collectors should have a half chance to drop any item in the game. That is, if Cosmic Wings are .00001%, then from an OC, this would be half that rate.

I think the Odious Collectors are fine as is. They do what they should.

I do think it’s worth considering the Menagerist once all the pets have dropped though. They’re rare spawns, and their loot table other than the pets is rather lackluster. If you wanted to do the rare spawn items at half of their already lottery level odds, this might be the place.

Yeah, I don’t think getting more GR keys breaks the game.
