Blizzard has included a nice bonus with the launch of Patch 2.1. Running from now through next Tuesday all gold find is receiving a 100% bonus, and they are doubling the number of Treasure Goblins as well.
This bonus Gold Find and double Treasure Goblin period begins in the Americas region today, August 26, and ends on Tuesday, September 2, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
Note that this runs until next week, so anyone doing a new seasonal character this weekend will get a nice boost in their building up their gold with their new, empty account. Just remember how annoying it was to gold up in the first place, what with buying stash tabs and paying for all the Artisan training!
Also, unclear what double goblins means. Will we find them twice as often? Or will they actually be standing around in pairs, like they’re being wingmen for each other?
Ran into some double goblins in a rift today. Two of them spawn next to each other.
They immediately tear off in different directions, naturally…
Oh man, this should be good for those mini clusters of 3 or 4 gobs.
Yep, they are in pairs right together.
I got a rift (first one in 2.1) where there was like 40 of them on the screen and we killed maybe half of them on T2 (pet WD with 27 spawns is kind of cool especially now that they fixed pet AI).
On a side note, I hate that I have to have the stone to open the rift in my inventory to move it into the slot. Couldn't thet just put a list or mini stash on that interface showing all my stones letting me drag one from there wherever it may be, pack or stash.
The gold bonus seems to be a bit bugged? I used to get 10-30k stacks of gold regularly in T4, but today in a T5 rift after the patch I was getting 2-5k gold per pickup.
