To get in the mood for the 12th Diablo 3 season, which starts on Thursday, there is until the start of the season Double goblin Event.

So everyone already has the opportunity to dust off the characters, see which character builds have been buffed or changed and can then start the new adventure seamlessly. During the time of the event you will always meet all treasure goblins in pairs, in other words: Double the booty!

This affects all goblins in the wild. The bandit shrine and the huge goblin hordes that one sometimes meets in nephale importers are not affected by this. The servers would probably explode with such a loot explosion.

The event ends on November 9th at 5:00 p.m. our time, to coincide with the start of the new season.

If you haven't read the changes to patch 2.6.1 yet, you can find it here a small overview.

Official Blizzard announcement for the Goblin Event:

 Diablo 3 Patch 2.6.1 is now live worldwide and season 12 is just around the corner.

 We want you to really work hard again and be well prepared for the current patch - and we are helping you with a special event in the game, in which treasure goblins appear in pairs! Every time you come across a single treasure goblin, he is with a buddy whose pockets are filled to the brim with your favorite treasures.

 This double goblin event begins in the Europe region on November 6th at 5:00 p.m. CET and ends on November 9th at 5:00 p.m. CET.

 Note: This bonus does not affect the number of goblins encountered through a Bandit's Shrine, Goblin “Portal” packages, or in the Realm of Greed.
