STOP grinding Infernal Hordes! 🛑 The “March of the Goblins” secret routes are printing loot! 🔥

Everyone is spamming Hordes, but you’re missing out on the biggest payout of Season 13! The March of the Goblins event is live, and the drop rates for Forgotten Souls, Resplendent Sparks, and Mythic Tributes are insane—if you know where to look. By turning off crossplay and running the right routes in Nahantu, you can rack up hundreds of Goblins per hour.

Don’t let your rewards disappear on June 17th. Stop playing the “slow way” and start farming the “rich way.”

The ultimate Goblin hunting guide:  👇

While the Infernal Hordes continue to dominate the endgame conversation, a far more lucrative opportunity has returned to Sanctuary: the March of the Goblins event. Running until June 17th, this event offers a massive surge in Treasure Goblin spawns, providing players with the single best window of the season to stockpile Forgotten Souls, Obducite, and crafting materials for the Horadric Cube.

Why You Should Skip the Hordes

The core mistake many players make is treating Infernal Hordes as the primary farming method. While Hordes provide Reputation, they are notoriously stingy with raw materials. Conversely, killing Treasure Goblins rewards players with “Goblin Bags,” which are currently overtuned in terms of their loot tables.

“The real core value lies in repeatedly killing Goblins,” notes a community guide, highlighting that materials gained from goblin hunting are essential for crafting Mythic Uniques and sustaining end-game gear refinement.

The “Pro” Farming Checklist

To maximize your efficiency, community testers recommend the following setup before even leaving town:

Disable Cross-Network Play: This is mandatory. By logging out and disabling crossplay in the settings, you effectively put yourself in a lower-population instance, drastically reducing the competition for Goblin spawns.

Hire Subo: The mercenary Subo is considered the “god” of goblin hunting. His Seeker passive marks enemies on your full map overlay far beyond your visual range, allowing you to spot goblins before they even appear on your screen.

Zoom and Mount: Stay zoomed in to ensure the map overlay remains clear and use a high-mobility build with a mounted sprint to cover ground faster.

Top Farming Routes

For owners of the Lord of Hatred expansion, Nahantu is currently the Tier-S farming zone.

The Route: Teleport to the Kurast Bazaar waypoint and work south through the Five Hills into the Restless Canopy.

The Alternative: For players without the expansion, the Fields of Hatred (PvP zones) are an excellent alternative. Because these zones are often avoided by combat-focused players, they remain relatively peaceful, allowing you to patrol for Goblins undisturbed.

Critical “Do’s and Don’ts”

Collect Your Rewards: Visit the Goblin Statue in Kyovashad regularly to claim your reputation chests. Any unclaimed rewards will disappear on June 17th.

Avoid “The Pit”: Do not farm Goblins inside The Pit. Since rewards in the Pit are only distributed upon completion and monsters do not drop loot individually, all the extra loot from event goblins is lost.

Use the Right War Plans: Ensure you have the Greed is Good and Goblin Fall nodes selected in your War Plans activity tree. These turn Nightmare Dungeons into “Goblin factories,” offering a controlled environment for those tired of open-world roaming.

The Bottom Line

The March of the Goblins is a limited-time “gold rush.” Whether you are a solo player looking to stockpile resources or a group looking to split up and cover more ground, the efficiency of these routes far outweighs the current rewards of standard seasonal activities. Act now, before the event ends and the goblin spawns return to their normal, sluggish rates.
