Hi. I've played Diablo 3 on PC and recently bought it on console. When I play console, I go for achievements. One of the achievements they kindly added to the game is "Greed over Need", which some of you may know tasks you with killing 100 treasure goblins.
Now, obviously simply playing through the game 4 times is not going to net you this achievement. So, where should I go to farm these? I don't care about loot or anything. I can farm them on normal or any other difficulty. All I need is the location of a spawn near a waypoint.
Can anyone help with this? I've tried searching online and find nothing helpful. It's all stuff from summer 2012 which was hotfixed to no longer work.
Wow thanks for not being helpful at all. I'm asking what the best way to do it is now considering the old farming methods don't work. I can't believe I actually have to state that.
I figure people who've been playing the game for over a year may have a better idea than me where to go about farming this nowadays. One person has the achievement unlocked on Xbox but he doesn't say how he did it. It's possible to farm, obviously. So...how did he do it?
I said they added it to the console game - that does not imply that it was not in the PC version. I even typed "as some of you may know." Why are you even posting that? How is that relevant? Who cares if it's in the game or not on PC.
Well, that's not true. I care. I actually post this on a PC forum because presumably there may be some people here who went and farmed this recently.
I've played D3 since release and the first poster was right, all of the farming spots have been hotfixed out of the game. AFAIK the puzzle ring one of the other guy posted isn't available to console, so.. long and short, there is no quick and easy way to get this one.
Thanks for the help, friends. Any other suggestions?
And as I said, someone who first played the game a few days ago has this achievement less than a day after completing Inferno for the first time. They must have farmed it somehow - I just want to figure out how.
Then how do players get this hours after completing Inferno for the first time (and spending less than a day in Inferno total)? They must be doing something. I know there's no guaranteed spawns...but there must be something more than "just play the game."
I want to finish the game in 1 week, not a few weeks. And yes, RNG is RNG, but out of 7 people who have killed Diablo on Inferno on Xbox, 3 of them have 100 treasure goblins. The chances of that happening without farming? Basically zero. You'd have to get a treasure goblin on practically every section of the game all the way to the end.
No, they farmed them somehow and it was effective, not 2 in 10 hours.
there was a trick with the puzzle ring i think, but i don't really remember how it work, you might check yourtube for that... it was in the caves en weeping i think.... just look for "diablo 3 puzzle ring trick" or something like that in youtube
I'm not uppity. I don't need to calm down. I may sound hostile but, rest assured, I am not in reality. I simply want to put down the idea that there is no farming method because obviously there is one. If you don't know what it is, that's fine. I understand it's not something you actively seek.
But it's apparent that such a thing does exist. Too many people have it in too short a time. The key is finding it.
Anyway, I will retract my position on there necessarily being a good way to farm it. Apparently, the first person to get it was lucky enough to get a Puzzle Ring (thanks loot 2.0!) and he duped it for the other 3 people who have the achievement (thanks offline!).
I've found that there seems to be alot more goblins in the console version, ive killed 5 or 6 just in 2/3rds of Act 1, once you get farming @60 im sure you will see heaps.
Then how do players get this hours after completing Inferno for the first time (and spending less than a day in Inferno total)? They must be doing something. I know there's no guaranteed spawns...but there must be something more than "just play the game."
I just finished Normal, and I killed over 20 goblins (got the achiev in Act 3). 4 difficulties = 80 goblins. Couple hours later = 100?
I don't think I have even 9 hours played. Do the math?
I said they added it to the console game - that does not imply that it was not in the PC version.
Actually, yes it does as the console version is a port of the PC version. Added would refer to an addition of something that wasn't there before, or would you descibe all 5 classes and all 4 acts as 'added' to the console version?
Examples of stuff that was actually added:
Nephalem Glory
Roll-dodge thing
Direct control
Etc.
Farming specifically for Goblins is an extremely inefficient use of time, especially if you want other achievements. It will just occur naturally and much quicker than you expect.
Also, there is no single location that spawns more treasure goblins in general but you can maximize your chances by doing runs as fast as possible. This means to spec 100% for speedfarming and farm on whatever difficulty you one hit monsters. If you can rush through enough areas fast enough then you will maximize your chances at seeing more goblins/time. As for which routes, I'd suggest high density areas;
Act 2- VotA
Act 3- KD2
But as I said initially, you're best to let it come naturally, or cross your fingers for a Puzzle Ring. In the time you can target farm half a dozen other achievements, you will get this one naturally.

A Puzzle Ring will help, but even to get that you'll need to just farm normally.
And there's your answer.
edit: they could've gotten it by "hacking". Don't worry too much about others in the console version, really.

During my Act 1 runs I usually see three or so. =/ And that's over the span of an hour. So that's only (lol) about 33 hours give or take a few.
My route is:
Festering Woods
Fields of Misery
Cemetery of the Forsaken
The Weeping Hollow
But it's apparent that such a thing does exist. Too many people have it in too short a time. The key is finding it.
I'll do some Vault of the Assassins runs.
Anyway, I will retract my position on there necessarily being a good way to farm it. Apparently, the first person to get it was lucky enough to get a Puzzle Ring (thanks loot 2.0!) and he duped it for the other 3 people who have the achievement (thanks offline!).
Still, I appreciate the location suggestions.

You want to "finish" the game? And by finishing this ARPG loot/grind based, you mean do all the achievements? That's funny
No wonder you're all stressed out that nobody can give you the "guide" on how to do that the easy way. With that kind of perspective.
