wow Crossover Event Treasure Goblin Fun + Gold Drops

[Starym 3,779]

 

Players have been gathering in masses to farm out all the (many) drops the Diablo crossover event goblins are dropping, and it seems there's one drop Blizzard didn't specifically mention in their event overview.

As spotted by DesMephisto and many others, it seems the treasure part of their name doesn't only refer to all the items and cosmetics they drop, but also gold! 500-1000 or so, in fact (update: it seems the numbers can go a LOT higher than that, with some reporting getting as much as 10,000 gold!)

The goblins spawn every 30 minutes, alternating between Orgrimmar and Stormwind on the full hour and every 30 minutes in Dragonflight zones. You can grab a Weakaura here to have a timer on when the next spawn is and where here, or check out a spreadsheet of all the upcoming times here.

Not exactly astronomical numbers, but considering how quickly they die, it might be worth the hassle. Players have been gathering in large numbers, trying to get everything from the mount, pet, bag and all the cosmetics (although the charms have lost some of their appeal since Blizzard disabled them in instanced content).

And while the low, low framerates when that many people gather up are problematic, others have found a different sort of fun, as faction warfare sometimes ensues!

Despite some players getting quickly bored with the event, it's still quite a lot of free loot to get, so it's not all bad. What do you think of it all? Too simple and boring or "thanks for the free stuff"?

If you're looking for their spawn times and locations, you can check out a Weakaura for that here.

Uh, I got 10k - or 9999g to be precise, to drop from them once. So up that number a bit... xD

I got the 36 slot bag on the first kill.

It's a bit ironic how you have 10 posts so far and most of them are just empty complaints and cursing. I'd consider those comments much more a 'boring waste of time' instead of a small nod in WoW to another game that they're about to release and that you are in no way required to do.

Seeing the big groups and vast amount of people farming these, it seems that plenty of people are interested in small little events like these.

That is... accurate 😄 I was going for the big numbers there, should have added "up to".

Exactly, a lot of people still want that mount, albeit it does have a low drop chance. It's also possible that he will return in trading post.

As for gold drops, I only ever seen some meager sums.
