In an upcoming patch for Diablo 4, killing a Treasure Goblin at level 15 will guarantee a legendary drop, a welcome change for players.
In Diablo 4, players have been expressing their dissatisfaction with the low droprates of legendary items from Treasure Goblins. However, there is good news as the drop rate for legendary items will be increased to 100% in the upcoming patch.
Diablo 4 players can rejoice as a highly anticipated buff is on its way, specifically tailored to enhance the experience of hunting down Treasure Goblins. The announcement was made during the most recent Diablo 4 Campfire Chat, and players can expect to see the buff implemented in the upcoming game patch. The drop rates for these elusive yet enticing creatures have been a source of disappointment for many fans. While Treasure Goblins in Diablo 3 were notorious for rewarding players with exceptional weapons and cosmetics, Diablo 4 fell short in this regard, with legendary drop rates leaving much to be desired. Fortunately, this is all set to change.
In the latest Campfire Chat for Diablo 4, associate game director Joe Piepiora shared an exciting update. He revealed that starting at level 15, players in the game will now receive a legendary item every time they defeat a Treasure Goblin. This highly anticipated change will take effect after the upcoming release of Patch 1.1.1, which is expected on August 8th. Fans who want to hear the news directly from the director can watch the official Campfire Chat video from the 1 hour, 9 minutes, and 40 seconds mark.
During the video, Piepiora discussed the reasoning behind this change. He conducted a Twitter poll to gauge fan opinions on the chances of obtaining a legendary item from a Treasure Goblin in Diablo 4. The poll options included 10%, 25%, 40%, and 50%. Although the majority voted for 10%, the correct answer is actually 50%. Piepiora likened it to a coin toss, emphasizing that the previous difficulties players faced in finding Treasure Goblins were simply a result of unlucky outcomes. It's important to note that even after the new patch is released, players below level 15 will continue to have a 50/50 chance of receiving a legendary item when defeating a Treasure Goblin.
The upcoming game patch may greatly assist players in obtaining legendary items to enhance their characters, particularly those who are in dire need of them. This will be especially beneficial for avid fans who chance upon a cellar brimming with Treasure Goblins, as one fortunate player recently experienced in Diablo 4. The game is currently accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
