Just as a small warning after I was finally able to resell the http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/item/puzzle-ring, this Item is completely useless, and I urge you not to buy it, the procc seems to have an internal cooldown of about 15 minutes, I've been standing in atleast 25 mobs bashing on me and if a goblin spawned previously in the last 15 Minutes, another one just wouldn't spawn until the time was up.
Just run around in the game I guarantee you will find more than 1 gob every 15 mins, this item might only be worth putting on a follower, other than that, it's trash.
Yes, extra gobo's are completely wasted. Let's not be thankful for extra gobo's because they are not coming three at a time on the screen.
Well go ahead and buy it for 40M, then try to resell it after a week, but don't cry if you get only back 2 mil because then everyone knows it's trash
Also, under normal circumstances, you might, if you're lucky get one gob in 30 mins (maybe not even that), as testing was done with atleast 25 mobs bashing on me nonstop.
Okay so say it is every 15mins... doing a clear of act 1 inferno you can get it done in about 30-45mins if you push thru at a decent clip and loot all 61+ (salvage loots)... so you can get at least 2 extra loot goblins...
Now say you are on Act 3 and not packing 60-100k dps and are more in the common place 30k range.. so talking 1-2hrs for a full clear... looking at 4-8 extra goblins...
Or heck say you are doing a very thorough cleaning of Act 1 (i do that personally for salvage farms) and kill literally every creature and open ever box, etc... now you are looking at over an hour at least... sometimes 2 hrs and there are those extra goblins...
Or you could just be bored and stand there with MF cap gear on and every 15mins pop on ring, port to a place with some mobs trigger it, kill it, port to town and chill (watch tv, eat a sammich, etc) and repeat...
Do not see where this is a total garbage ring that should be ignored.. even with a 15min internal CD it can be quite valuable since those items it drop can be worth quite a pretty penny
Why not just hold it and swap when 15 min is about to pop?
Nice out of the box thinking
Maybe the cooldown only works when it's equipped though. I wouldn't be able to tell, though, with how expensive they are right now.
Of course I don't know exactly aswell how the CD works, but I can tell you even creating a new game, I had to wait for the previous 15 minutes to pass for a new gob.
Maybe I was just insanely unlucky, maybe not, I'll never know I guess ;P

Let's just, for the sake of things, say you do find 1 goblin per 15 minutes in your normal running around.
This ring DOUBLES the number of goblins you are finding. How can you not see the inherent value in that? It may not be the right ring for you, but it's hardly trash.
Even if you're finding 2 goblins per 15 minutes, the ring still increases the number of goblins you're finding by 50%, which is still pretty worthwhile.
I remember reading somewhere that the goblin is always an Act 1 goblin when it comes to loot, regardless of which act you are currently in. Was in a blizzard post iirc.

No, the blue post said that it was always of appropriate level for the act you are in.
Nope, I double checked and you are correct; the goblin level is based on difficulty, not act, so you always get an act I inferno goblin. Lame.

I really don't understand the decision making process over there sometimes...
