Blizzard is bringing back March of the Goblins and there’s six new Goblin variants this year.
The March of the Goblins event will run between March 4, 10 a.m. PST – March 11, 10 a.m. PDT and now there’s even more to slay. Once the event is finished, Blizzard will leave these new Goblin types active in the game as the post states, “six brand-new Goblin variants, who will remain after the increased Goblin activity has ended”.
The six goblins are:
- Odious Ector – Drops various Crafting Materials, even granting Obducite when found in Torment tiers.
- Gilded Baron – Drops Gold
- Glittering Prym – Drops Gem Fragments, Runes—and when found in Torment Tiers—Undercity Tributes and Scattered Prisms
- Curious Murl – Drops Obols
- Gelatinous Syrus – Drops 1 Legendary item—with an increased chance of dropping additional Legendary items at higher Torment tiers—Gold, Boss summoning materials, and the chance of an Elixir
- Fancy Old Fedric (Rare appearances) – Drops Mythic Unique, a Resplendent Spark.
While March of the Goblins is live, there’s an increased chance to see larger packs of Treasures Goblins, encounter Greed Shrines, and to see increased Treasure Goblins when facing off against Avarice, the Gold-Cursed World Boss.
Introducing New Goblin Variants
From deep within the underground chasms and forgotten lairs of Sanctuary’s underbelly, Goblins have been mutating and diversifying. The townsfolk talk of strange and wonderful creatures, complete with sacks filled to abundance. These new Goblin variants seem to be more rare than their brown bagged counterpart, so keep a keen eye for a glint of them scurrying through the underbrush.
Odious Ector
This distasteful Goblin has spent time rummaging through many a workshop and claiming various materials for their own. On death, they drop various Crafting Materials, even granting Obducite when found in Torment tiers.
Gilded Baron
This nefarious coin rubber is known for a base desire to clinch every coin within claws’ reach. Slay this Goblin to earn tantalizing amounts of Gold. Spill their Treasure Bags and watch the ground glow gilded.
Glittering Prym
This Goblin sparkles in the sunlight, revealing a different nature entirely. The Glittering Prym delves through every abandoned mine of Sanctuary, collecting Runes and Undercity Tributes to line their already egregious collection. Kill this Goblin to earn Gem Fragments, Runes—and when found in Torment Tiers—Undercity Tributes and Scattered Prisms.
Curious Murl
The Murl is recognized for its distinctive purple hue, colored by the many Obols they clutch so dearly. Killing this Goblin grants you a slew of Murmuring Obols, which drop as Murl’s Bag of Obols. For those Wanderers that often travel at their maximum Obol capacity, this bag can be still collected in your inventory regardless of whether you are at maximum Obol capacity.
Gelatinous Syrus
The Gelatinous Syrus evokes the basest nature of Goblin-kind, multiplying before your very eyes. Upon being killed, the Gelatinous Syrus splits into two Goblins… Slay this pair to have them multiply into three! To claim their spoils, you’ll have to kill the smallest Goblins of the pack.
The Gelatinous Syrus drops 1 Legendary item—with an increased chance of dropping additional Legendary items at higher Torment tiers—Gold, Boss summoning materials, and the chance of an Elixir.
Fancy Old Fedric
This Goblin is the stuff of Legend—maybe even Myth. Some believe this Goblin to be so incredibly rare its very existence is even called into question. If you manage to even spy a Fancy Old Fedric, seize the opportunity! For you may never get this one in a million chance again.
Managing to kill Fancy Old Fedric Grants a Mythic Unique, a Resplendent Spark, and earns you bragging rights for all time.
Remember, these new Goblin variants will stay across all Realms after March of the Goblins has ended but the best time to hunt them is now! Their increased numbers will not be around forever, even though there will be no end to the hunting of these foul miscreants.
Climb the Goblin Slaying Ranks
Being steadfast in your eradication of these hooded hoodlums grants you Reputation, which earns you great rewards. Your Reputation progress is tied to your individual prowess for culling Treasure Goblins, so slay to your hearts content to earn to complete it and earn a Resplendent Spark.
Keep in mind that as you slay through the ranks, the chance for Treasure Bags to drop from the Treasure Goblins increase as well.
