Diablo 4’s March of the Goblins expands its loot goblin line-up, proving that Diablo 3 did get a few things right

This week, Diablo 4’s latest event expands the loot and glory for all. Yes, the March of the Goblins is returning from July 29 to August 5, and it remains scoped to all D4 goblin variants of Sanctuary. Let’s talk about the coming weeklong activity and the goblins that returned to Sanctuary last time that continue to juice the goblin loot pot.

The event launched bugged because the statue in Kyovashad that gives access to the reputation track for extra rewards wasn’t spawning, somewhat negating the event part of the event. Fortunately Blizzard rolled out a same day fix and you should be able to locate the statue and start killing more treasure goblins. Hooray!

The March of the Goblins is a week of, well, goblin-murder adventures. Slaughter your way through their ranks to progress the event’s reputation track. which subsequently increases your chance of receiving goblin treasure bags. But never fear — their standard rarity does not apply. After all, how else will you kill your way through their ranks? The event window features increases chances for you to encounter goblins in a few different configurations, seeing the following:

• Larger packs of Treasure Goblins.
• Additional Greed Shrines
• Treasure Goblin spawns during the Avarice, the Gold-Cursed World Boss fight.

But remember, it’s no longer only standard Treasure Goblins to kill in this event. Six additional types previously joined Sanctuary with the last March of the Goblins, adding a slew of reward variety to their pool:

• Odious Ector rewards crafting materials, including Obducite in Torment tiers.
• Gilded Baron is pretty obvious; you’ll get gold, and lots of it.
• Glittering Prym hoards goodies as shiny as it — Gem fragments, runes, and (in Torment tiers) Undercity Tributes and Scattered Prisms.
• Curious Murl grants purple-matching Murmuring Obols. If you’re the type to adventure at full-Obol capacity, keep them in the bag until you’re ready to gamble a slew!
• Gelatinous Syrus drops at least one Legendary item, with additional rewards (like gold, boss-summoning mats, and elixirs) from the smaller versions.
• Fancy Old Fedric is the rarest of spawns, but killing one results in a Mythic Unique and Resplendent Spark.

Now, it’s understandable if any of these sound familiar. You can map them easily to Diablo 3 counterparts — Odious Collector becomes Odious Ector, Gelatinous Sire becomes Gelatinous Syrus, and so on. They’re just getting unique, individual names.

So look out — for extra goblins around Sanctuary. Kill the additional quantities during the next week to increase the chances of them dropping sacks of rewards along with their usual goodies. Happy hunting!
