So i have been farming for cosmic wings for not that long and i am completely aware that they can take an insane amount of time to find but so far i have searched for 20+ hours and havent found a single rainbow goblin so i want to know if this is normal or if i am possibly doing something wrong because i have found heaps of pet goblins and countless numbers of the more common ones and yet not one rainbow, any tips or advice would be much aprecciated
So as you noted, rainbow goblins are quite rare. You wont ever find them in rifts, but generally just in adventure mode. There are a bunch of routes you can take.
Some of the popular ones are:
Northern Highlands
Southern Highlands ( Moon clan 1-2)
Leoric's Passage
Tower of the Damned 1-2
Core of Arreat ( the short one before boss)
Gardens of Hope Tier 1
Royal Crypts
It also speeds the process up if you have a group of people looking for the goblins. As long as every player is in the zone before the goblin is killed, they would be able to get in the portal.
Hopefully this helps out a little bit. Most of the posts note that several times their sessions had zero rainbow goblins, and sometimes they had 4+. So RNG can play a big role in this. Good luck!
Thanks for the advice, i take a pretty similar route to this and i am currently using the chicken doc build but unfortunately i dont have a group to help me so it is going to be a lot harder. I guess i will just keep looking and hopefully find atleast one someday
Well, you could always look at one of the communities. If "Rainbow Goblin Hunt" is still around and active, you might try joining, and working with them.
No, it doesn't matter at all. You could try to find them on normal, just as easy as T13. But it would change the number of legendary items you would possibly find from all the other goblin types.

Your class and build could also speed it up. A quick google search gives this as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INTcZeQitoM

I've only seen one in roughly 278 hours of gameplay. It's true a lot of that is spent doing rifts, but still. Pretty rare.
Does difficulty effect a person's ability to find Rainbow Goblins?

Can confirm they are still in the game, have had 2-3 goblins the last few days just spamming public bounties
Took me about 150-200 goblins to get the wings, glad I got them last season before the change.
Im 337 kills on this season and still no wings. Feel free add me if u play on eu and want do them on grp/share, cippi#2652.
