One of my groupmates suggested moving all utility paragon points into gold find. I went into Greed's Domain on T4 with a full group and a magic find of 4600%. I came out over 91M gold richer.
Upon killing Ms. Greed herself, I received the legendary gem, Boon of the Hoarder: Killing an enemy causes 25% change for gold explosion. That 25% goes up with each rank as it is in blue. Not sure why the wiki says 30% (is it a random role?).
I have never been so happy playing D3 as I was last night. It was quite the rush and I had a hard time thinking straight: I should have changed out the gem in my helm to an emerald. Regardless, that was one hell of a run.
Grats on the portal, been having the same dream since the goblins where introduced. Still no luck for me, but sooner or later -most likely later- I will have a chance to smack Greed silly like a ripe Piñata
You probably already know this, but you cannot get those portals in rifts. I was running bounties and then checking the Halls of Agony 2, Core of Arreat and Festering Woods if they hadn't already been done in a bounty. Reset and repeat. It took about 40 minutes for it to happen in a full group on Torment IV. Earlier last night I also found a rainbow gobby in the zone just outside New Tristam, but that is just a portal to Whimsyshire. You can tell those fuckers apart by their pastel appearance and the portal is rainbow colored. Now imagine if Blizzard made them look the same as Greed portals--both the goblins and the actual portal--and you had a 50/50 chance of getting either or once a portal dropped. Could that be the ultimate D3 rage troll? Good thing they got rid of Jay Wilson

Wow, I didn't know that. I even got one of those Conduit Pylon + Goblin Orgy combos in a Rift last night. I was expecting at least one portal out of the 20+ goblins I nuked, but didn't get it. It was strange being sad after all that goblin murder.
Okay, I just discovered something else about Goblin portals a few seconds ago. If someone is soloing and they get a portal and click to go inside, as one of my friends accidentally did just now, then they invite you to party, you can no longer enter the realm with them. I attempted entry both via "teleport to player" and going to the physical location of that beautiful, shimmery golden portal. Ye shall not pass!
Now that you have your gem, There is a MUCH easier way to farm gold than hoping for a goblin rift.
Open up a Trial And dont kill anything, you want a level one Grift key, once you have it, leave game and set game to T6. Put on as much gold find gear as you can find, including on your follower. Make sure you have the Goblin Gem equipped and enter the rift. Since it is on T6 you get the T6 Gold find + what ever else you have. Im going in with close to 14k gold find. Just take your time killing the mobs as you will one shot pretty much everything.
Kill the rift boss with about 2 mins left, and choose to upgrade your key and just do the same again. I was picking up close to 100m in about 10-15 mins. Which is considerably faster than looking for a goblin rift And this only gets better the more you have upgraded your Goblin gem
Isent that a part of the exploit that just got fixed?
Kymbo's can roll 100%, or if you're like me, you find a kymbo's that rolled 150+% (two +gold affixes). IIRC the one I have double gold affixes on is a level 70 in my stash, found it pre 2.1.

Add ~15,400% GF.
Add 4 Goblin Realm runs.
I am 1 Billion richer. Now it's time to farm blue items.
Some of those goblins were in rifts tho, so i can say that i had a portal for every 10 goblins and less.
Even managed to get 2 portals in less than an hour.
I am guessing that i am very lucky.
First goblin i had killed, dropped the portal. That's when i thought "hmm, maybe these aren't as rare as i thought they will be".
