Are they really worth the effort? I’ve yet to have any good drops from them, other than ordinary items that can be found in any cellar.
well. theres two types ive seen so far… one with a huge sack. and one with a small sac… I’ve gotten uniques from the huge sack one, during helltide. Not sure what level you are… but i mean… if you see a goblin… it takes… like less than 30 seconds to destroy. Why wouldnt you?

I must have terrible luck, both times I’ve caught one, he’s been in huge mobs. So, I’ve had to fight the mob off and sprint away to catch up to the goblin, and he keeps rotating to more mobs. Takes a few minutes for me to pin him down long enough to kill.
TBH, unsure of what the sack size was, but that’s good information to know, thank you. Currently, I’m at level 50.

Yeah mine usually are too. im in t4. and they are cake for sure.
It was hard to get them down in lower levels too. just like with beating the butcher. You just got into t3 im guessing. so they should start dropping leggo’s regularly atleast. Before t3 yea it was usually yellows.

For sure the T3 rewards are better. Even if they get stacked in a mob you can see them on the mini map. Until you engage they typically won’t run away. Kite around the mob and try to AOE everything until the goblin comes to rest and drop the hammer. That’s usually works for me and kills the mob in the process.

So far I haven’t found a single one to be worth the effort - especially as they run through various nearby packs.
Well, for that gobbo to be running about during hell tide, he better have a huge sack 
Did my first hell ride last night, lots of fun.

I’m not sure… which of your “puns” is better… unless “hell ride” is a typo. than in that case the big “sack” was definitely better.

Good catch, yeah the “ride” was a typo, but that actually looks cool, it was a wild ride. First mob I crashed into had 6 elites was still paired up with a person but gunning solo. Maaan oh man that was rough.
Felt like my accidental soloing of a stronghold 
Oh they definitely are fun, if you’re on t4… yeah its got some density to it. I 95% run solo even in t4 helltides. Its definitely a challenge at first. but i finally got a few pieces to set my build up. and destroy… im still squishy AF atm. with 4 points of Glass cannon.
But almost able to keep my ultimate up 24/7 just need a freaking ring… thats good so i can add this last affix… that… in theory should keep it up at all times. so literally spam ult. its taken a while to get going but. >…>
Ironically I may have dropped the ring you needed 6.0% CDR but the other stats were not what I play into- d% to crowd controlled/ extra shield %/ d% to basic attack.
I’ve been hunting for crit chance, crit damage as paired, then whatever else is bonus.
That ring became materials
Let me know what traits you’re after, and I’ll keep an eye out, odds are the rings will be GS500+ with a trash stat, but happy to keep one aside.
But yeah on topic, I’ve killed a fair few gobbos, maybe 4 leg drops. I more chase them for the insane mob pulls along the way gets even more fun when other players see the gob on map and pour in. Chaos. CHAOS!!!
Ah, yes. The sheer joy of running around, who gets the goblin first.
It’s almost like an unofficial event, with the conversion of mobs + other players all gunning for the same thing.
Can’t say anything because I’ve only found two, in same cellar. Got one leg with useless aspect.

2 cellar treasure goblins. Damn. I have only run into 3 my entire run so far, and none in the cellar.
There should be a leaderboard/challenge for how many treasure goblins we bag.

My mates and I used to do split farms in d3, Moment a gobbo was found (or even more rarely, the gobbo hoard and bandit shrines), it was pile in and let er rip. They’re always good fun to slap.

Well CD isnt what i need. the ring needs DMG to close enemies, and DMG to stunned enemies. CRT and CR would be nice to. but i namely just need a rare with those. so i can attach an affix [Aspect of Abundant Energy) which combined which gives crackling lightning a chance to bounce off an extra target. and if the theory is correct. with the passive…overflowing energy… the extra crackles that comes from that aspec. will make the CD’s go even faster. so… Basically. unlimited teleporting and stunning in large groups. with ult up constantly.
Note pretty much all my legendaries are imprinted, after finding good rares and rerolling useless stats off them.

yeah half the time, mine just despawn lol…like where tf did it go? We are in the middle of killing him and he just dips out? A few times they’ve disappeared when i just look at them. Before i can even yell GOBLIN ON ME… Hes gone. No portal is open… nothing. But i did just kill one in helltide and got a unique from him.
