Treasure Goblins are stampeding back into Sanctuary, and Season 15 brings one of the most rewarding versions of this fan-favorite event yet. The March of the Goblins is now live after a brief hiccup during its initial rollout, and players are flooding Kyovashad to claim their share of loot, materials, obols, seals, talismans, and even Treasure Breach Sigils. In this Diablo 4 S15 March of the Goblins Guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know about maxing reputation quickly, finding the best farming spots, and using the new War Plan nodes to open up the mysterious Goblin Retreat.
Diablo 4 Season 15 March of the Goblins Event Guide 2026
The March of the Goblins is Diablo 4's recurring Treasure Goblin celebration, and the Season 15 version in 2026 has been upgraded with a brand-new reputation board placed in western Kyovashad. Players earn progress by hunting goblins across Sanctuary, climbing through 10 reputation ranks that each grant permanent buffs for the duration of the event. Exclusive cosmetics, caches, and juiced-up goblin drops are all part of the reward structure, and the event ties directly into the Season 15 War Plan system, giving nightmare dungeon runners extra reasons to log in.
It's worth noting the event had a bumpy start. The reputation statue at Kyovashad briefly appeared ahead of schedule due to an accidental rollout, which led to confused players killing goblins with zero progress tracked. Blizzard community manager Marcooose confirmed the issue, disabled the event temporarily, and relaunched it the following day alongside Patch 3.2.4, which also increased the Prime Evil Splinter stack size from 1 to 99.
With the event confirmed live and stable, let's get into the start/end dates, rewards, locations, and farming strategies you need to know.
Season 15 March of the Goblins Start & End Date / Time
Based on the pattern from previous iterations, here's how the Season 15 event is running:
Start: The event went live the day following its accidental early rollout, launching alongside Patch 3.2.4.
End: Previous Treasure Goblin events have lasted anywhere from 7 to 19 days. The 2025 "Slay Ride to Hell" ran for about 16 days, and the 2025–2026 "Goblin Greedings" event ran from December 18 to January 6.
Daily Activation: Events typically go live around 11 AM to 12 PM PST, and content rollout can take up to a few hours to reach every server shard.
Expect the Season 15 March of the Goblins to run for roughly two to three weeks, so there is no need to burn all your Treasure Breach Sigils in one night.
With timing covered, here's what you can actually earn from the event.
March of the Goblins Rewards & Loot
The reward structure is built around two layers: the reputation board buffs and the goblins themselves.
Reputation Board Rewards
The new reputation board in western Kyovashad grants permanent buffs at ranks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Each of these ranks causes goblins to drop additional treasure bags, meaning your loot haul snowballs the higher you climb. Exclusive cosmetic items and caches also sit on the track, and the final rank rewards include a Spark (though community feedback suggests many players would prefer something a bit flashier, like a Wirt's Coin or a stack of Prime Ribs).
Goblin Loot Pool
While the event is active, Treasure Goblins drop improved rewards, which includes:
Legendary and Ancestral gear
Crafting materials and Forgotten Souls
Obols for gambling
Seals and Talismans
Treasure Breach Sigils (via War Plan nodes)
Potential chances at Prime Evil Splinters from caches
Now that you know what's up for grabs, the next step is finding goblins in the first place.'
March of the Goblins Statue Locations
The March of the Goblins event is anchored by a special goblin statue that acts as the central hub for the entire activity. Here is where to find it and the surrounding farm zones tied to the event.
Goblin Statue Location: Western Kyovashad
The reputation statue sits in western Kyovashad, the frozen capital city in the Fractured Peaks region. To interact with it:
Fast travel to Kyovashad using the waypoint.
Head to the western side of the city.
Look for the large goblin statue marker on your map.
Interact with it to open the March of the Goblins reputation board.
This is the only statue in the game tied to the event, and it is where you view your current rank, claim tier rewards, and track your progress toward rank 10. A quick note from the event's rocky launch: the statue briefly appeared ahead of schedule during Season 15's rollout, then vanished when Blizzard disabled the event. Once Patch 3.2.4 went live, the statue returned to western Kyovashad for good.
Best Goblin Farm Zones Tied to the Statue
While the statue itself only lives in Kyovashad, the goblins you need to feed its reputation board are scattered across Sanctuary. Three regions consistently produce the highest goblin density, and rotating between them is the best way to keep the loot flowing.
Scosglen (Celestia / Akarat's Bulwark)
Starting in Celestia and farming around Akarat's Bulwark has produced the highest goblin density in testing, often spawning multiple goblins at once on a single map. This is the top recommendation for players chasing raw goblin volume.
Hawezar (Vessel of Hatred Region)
If you own the Vessel of Hatred expansion, begin at Samael, head south through the Five Hills, and then move east into the Restless Canopy. This loop is a long-standing favorite from previous Treasure Goblin seasons.
Scosglen North Shore (Base Game)
For players without the expansion, the north shore of Scosglen remains one of the strongest routes in the base game thanks to its elevated monster density. More monsters on-screen means more chances for goblins to appear.
Ked Bardu & Nahantu Routes
These two routes have been community favorites across every past goblin event. They remain reliable options for players who want a relaxed loop with steady spawns rather than aggressive Infernal Hordes grinding.
Knowing where the statue sits and where the goblins spawn is only half the battle, so here is how to turn these routes into reputation and loot as efficiently as possible.
March of the Goblins Farm Strategy
Follow this plan to maximize reputation, optimize goblin tracking, and use the War Plan tree to open up extra rewards.
Step 1: Max Your Reputation in One Run
Grinding goblins in the overworld is NOT the quickest way to hit rank 10. Instead:
Head into Infernal Hordes.
Trigger an Aether Goblin Chaos Wave.
Complete that single Chaos Wave.
A completed goblin Chaos Wave is enough to carry you from rank 1 all the way to rank 10 in one shot. To boost your odds of rolling that wave, pick up the Total Chaos node in the Infernal Hordes activity tree, which increases Chaos Wave frequency.
Step 2: Set Up Your Game for Solo Spawns
Before you leave town, tweak two things:
Disable Cross Network Play under Options → Connect. Fewer nearby players means fewer competitors stealing your goblins.
Hire Subo as your mercenary. His passive marks enemies on both the mini-map and overlay, which makes goblins far easier to spot while riding through zones.
Step 3: The Best Goblin Tracking Trick
Open your full map constantly while farming. Goblins appear on the full map at a much wider range than they do on the mini-map or overlay. The optimal rhythm is:
Open the full map every few seconds.
Place a pin on any goblin icon you see.
Route directly toward it before it ever shows up on your screen.
This method lets you catch goblins long before they despawn or get caught by another player.
Step 4: Use War Plan Nodes to Multiply Rewards
Three War Plan nodes stack together to turn nightmare dungeons into goblin factories:
Goblin Fall gives Treasure Goblins a chance to drop Treasure Breach Sigils, feeding your sigil stockpile automatically.
Altar of Avarice causes a goblin altar to spawn after every 20 elite kills, which then spawns Treasure Goblins on the spot.
Greed is Good gives killed Treasure Goblins a chance to open a portal to the Goblin Retreat.
The Goblin Retreat & the Mysterious Cow Statue
The Goblin Retreat is a hidden area accessible only through the Greed is Good node. Inside, players have found a mysterious cow statue, which many believe is a tease for a future secret cow level or an upcoming Season 16 feature. Even without the lore implications, the Retreat itself is packed with goblins and makes for a huge loot payoff whenever a portal opens.
Infernal Hordes vs. Overworld Routes
Choose your pace:
Rushing the event: Stay inside Infernal Hordes and farm goblin Chaos Waves back-to-back. This is the fastest route to finish all reward tiers.
Casual farming: Rotate between the Ked Bardu route, Nahantu, Scosglen, and Hawezar for a relaxed loop that still produces consistent drops.
With reputation maxed, cross-network play disabled, Subo marking enemies, and the right War Plan nodes slotted in, Season 15's March of the Goblins becomes one of the most rewarding limited-time events Diablo 4 has shipped. Treasure Breach Sigils stack up fast, the Goblin Retreat opens the door to that mysterious cow statue, and the permanent buffs from the reputation board keep paying dividends every time you kill a goblin. Pick your region, open your full map often, and let the little trogs do what they do best: drop piles of loot before they escape.
