Diablo 4 Season 9 Goblin Event Guide: Rewards, Best Areas & Strategies to Farm

7/30/2025 4:35:13 PM

Hunt a variety of devious gremlings in Diablo 4 Season 9, March of the Goblins. It's essentially a loot-filled hunt that rewards players for finding and killing goblins. Today, we've got you a Diablo 4 Season 9 Goblin event guide, and we'll tell you the best place to farm Goblins.


Diablo 4 Season 9 March of the Goblins Event Guide

From July 29, 2025, 1:00 PM to August 5, 2025, 1:00 PM, Treasure Goblins emerge from their dens, spawning at an increased rate. Slay the abundant hordes to earn a reputation tied to your individual progress. All you need to do is complete the reputation board, which will earn you an elusive resplendent spark - then continue to complete this tier for even more rewards. Visit the Goblin Statue in the central Kyovashad to begin your hunt.


Best Area to Farm Goblins in D4 Season 9

After testing multiple regions in Sanctuary, the most consistent goblin farming area is:

Coastal area southeast of Ked Bardu

  1. Higher Goblin Density: This region spawns goblins more often than other zones.

  2. Reset Friendly: You can farm it for 10–15 minutes, then reset your world instance via the map to respawn goblins.

  3. Easier Navigation: The coastline layout is narrow and linear, making goblin spawns easier to scan.

Best Strategy to Farm D4 S9 Goblins

Mount up, ride along the coast, open your world map, and zoom in/out to reveal goblins. When goblins appear, dismount and kill quickly. Loot drops include Tributes, Scattered Prisms, Greater Affixed Gear, and sometimes Shrine-activated Caches.

After a few runs, reset the area by:

  • Opening the world map.

  • Clicking “Reset Dungeons” to force a respawn.

  • Repeating the run.

  • This loop is low-effort, fast-paced, and ideal for solo or group play.


Diablo 4 Season 9 Goblin Farming Tips

1. Use Sububo Mercenary (Expansion Required)

Sububo is a merc that reveals interactables (like goblins) earlier on the minimap, even while mounted. This makes it easier to spot goblins from a distance and plan a route.

2. Map Zoom Trick

Regular minimap doesn’t always show goblins. Use the full world map and zoom in and out repeatedly while mounted. Goblins may visually “pop in” on the map using this trick (especially effective with Sububo active).

3. Group Play = Profit

If you see a Mythic or Gelatinous Goblin, call in your friends or clan members. Communicate through Discord or whisper “1” to notify others you found a valuable goblin. Goblins drop loot for each player individually, so grouping up doesn't reduce rewards.

4. Reset World Regularly

Once you clear the coastline, reset the world to refresh goblin spawns. You can do this from the world map by clicking the “Reset Dungeons” button. This resets open-world monsters and events, including goblins.

Farming goblins efficiently means killing quickly and moving faster than usual. Here are the top recommended builds:

ClassFast Goblin-Hunting BuildNotes
SorcererHydra BuildHigh uptime, excellent AoE, and fast screen clears.
RogueFlurry Rogue / Warp Shot + Penetrating Shot (Azeroth Bow)Excellent mobility and burst DPS for fast-kill loops.

Speed matters. The more ground you cover, the more goblins you find.


Diablo 4 Goblin Event Rewards and Resplendent Spark

Progress is tracked at the March of the Goblins Statue in Kyovashad. Kill goblins → earn points → unlock tiers of rewards (materials, gear caches, d4 gold). The final reward is 1x Resplendent Spark, which is required to craft Mythic Uniques at the Occultist. If you had a bug previously preventing you from getting the spark from Uber Lilith, that issue has been patched.
