The new patch for Diablo 4 Season 9 is a real surprise! I expected another bunch of boring bug fixes, but they quietly released the full March of Goblins. This move was truly unexpected.
This event wasn’t officially announced in advance, but it’s incredibly well-deserved. Goblins spawn frequency has noticeably increased, and the drops are incredibly attractive.
Honestly, if you want to quickly stock up and farm gear in Diablo 4 Season 9, camping for Goblins is definitely the best solution. So today, we’ll teach you how to farm Goblins most efficiently in this event.
How To Farm Goblins Efficiently?
Currently, there are two main ways to efficiently farm Goblins: one is through Treasure Breach’s Nightmare Dungeon, and the other is to roam the open world directly.
In short, if you have the corresponding Treasure Breach Nightmare Dungeon Sigils, go for the dungeon; otherwise, open-world farming is the more reliable option.
Treasure Breach
Let’s start with Treasure Breach. It’s definitely the best option for farming Goblins, but it requires the corresponding Nightmare Dungeon Sigils.
These are incredibly rare; I crafted 200 of them to get just one. However, once you manage to unlock the Nightmare Dungeon, the Goblins there are ridiculously numerous, up to 30.
In addition, completing Nightmare Dungeon will also drop various equipment, Obols, Diablo 4 gold, and tons of Ancestral legendaries—it’s simply amazing.
How To Farm Sigils Efficiently?
So, now the question is, how do you farm Sigils efficiently? Here are a few practical tips.
Repeatedly Farming Normal Nightmare Dungeon Sigils
At the end of each clear, you’ll be given a random Sigil. This Sigil may have a Treasure Breach Ethic stamp on it. Teaming up is highly recommended. Firstly, it’s more efficient. Secondly, if someone in your team drops a usable Sigil, the whole team can immediately rush Treasure Breach, saving both time and effort.
Upgrading Nightmare Dungeon Sigils
Upgrading the Astaroth at the end of the dungeon may drop multiple Sigils at once, one of which may contain a Treasure Breach affix. Furthermore, each floor and each area has a chance of dropping one, so farming more floors increases your chances.
However, it’s important to remember that choosing the right class is crucial when farming. For example, a Spiritborn with quick evasion or a Sorcerer with no cooldown teleporting can help you traverse the map quickly and clear monsters efficiently, saving you a lot of time.
Sigil Powder Crafting
The final method is to craft Sigil Powder. However, I don’t recommend this method. First, Sigil Powder is scarce; you can only find it in whisper caches and Helltide chests, but the quantity is limited.
Second, crafting a Nightmare Dungeon Sigil requires 60 Sigil Powder, and recycling old Sigils only yields 15 Sigil Powder per Sigil, which is a significant disadvantage. Furthermore, Treasure Breach items are rare, so you might craft hundreds to find one, making the cost-effectiveness extremely low.
Open World
If you absolutely can’t get Treasure Breach Sigils, farming in the open world is also perfectly acceptable.
First, you can hire Subo as a mercenary, as he allows you to see Goblins from a distance, much farther than with the naked eye, and you can see them just by opening the map.
If you ride your mount, it further increases your detection range and allows you to navigate the map faster.
I recommend heading to the southern Nahantu area, where Goblins are densely populated. Stay mounted while farming, and after killing one, immediately open the map to look for the next one. If you don’t see one, move forward a bit and look again. Repeat this cycle for super efficiency.
This farming method not only yields the scrap items dropped by Goblins, but also allows you to accumulate a large amount of Murmuring Obols for gambling and a large number of Ancestral Legendaries.
Also, if you see a shrine along the way, don’t forget to check if it’s a Greed Shrine. Standing within its buff area and killing a certain number of monsters will spawn additional Treasure Goblins, effectively giving you an extra wave of rewards. Be sure to keep an eye out for them.
Finally, this event increases Goblins spawn rate map-wide. If you get tired of farming in Nahantu, you can move to other areas to find them, so you don’t have to stick to one spot.
In short, whether you’re camping in the Treasure Breach Nightmare Dungeon or wandering the open world, the rewards from this Goblins event are quite substantial. Seize the opportunity to farm more in this event, and stock up on equipment and materials. It’s definitely worth it!
