Diablo 4's Treasure Goblins Get a Makeover Amid Loot Disappearance Issues

Diablo 4 Update on Treasure Goblins

A new Diablo 4 update has rolled out this morning to address an issue causing item drops to disappear. Loot is, after all, the true purpose of everything in the Blizzard RPG, and so having your hard-won treasures simply vanish before you can pick them up is just about the most frustrating problem to run into.

As it reveals details about the new Diablo 4 Runewords and the upcoming Season 6 PTR, Blizzard has dropped a quick D4 hotfix to address the problem, which has been particularly noticeable due to the ongoing March of the Goblins event.

Changes to Treasure Goblins

• b>Rare and magic items will no longer drop in world tiers three and four.
• This includes the 50/50 chance to get one legendary or two rares. It’s now a 50% chance to get a legendary item.
• Gold and boss summoning material drops have been consolidated into fewer piles.
• The crafting material drop chance has been reduced, but the amount of materials in each drop has been increased.
• Elixirs will no longer drop.
• These changes affect all treasure goblins, not just March of the Goblins spawns.

Hopefully, that should make farming for the gear to finish off your best Diablo 4 builds easier, as you’ve got just a few days before the next playtest kicks off.

Looking Ahead

The Diablo 4 PTR 2.0 test will run from Tuesday, September 3 to Wednesday, September 11. Players can catch up on all the changes courtesy of Blizzard, as we prepare for dramatic adjustments to leveling, the paragon system, difficulties, and more when the DLC arrives.
