5/8/18 | PREVIEW | Goblin Event Guide
Hello intrepid Arlorians, be the Hero you were meant to be!
Attachment 168090
A goblin horde has invaded and is using a powerful and deadly poison to transform the helpless villagers into scary snarling goblins. Visit Littleridge to fight goblins, earn points and tokens and walk away with tons of event exclusive loot!
The event will begin on Thursday 5/10 at approximately 1:30 PM CT and end Thursday 5/24 at 1:30pm CT. Cooldown ends Friday, 5/25 at 1:30 pm Central Time.
New to 2018:
+ Battle the Goblin Mother, a level 66 only boss accessible from Littleridge using the Altar Relic (created from Binding Stones and Altar Fragments). Defeat her and her special minion for the highest reward of Goblin Event Points and a chance at vanity armor.
Attachment 168084
+ The Goblin Mother's minion, Gobby, has a chance to drop a Gobby Vanity Chest which must be opened with Goblin Event Tokens and contains a piece of the Burning Goblin Vanity Set for a random class.
+ Binding Stones can be found in Littleridge and the Goblin Dimension. Portals to the Goblin Dimension can be found all throughout Arlor, find one of these to enter a zone filled with chances for Binding Stones. Binding Stones can only be found while under the effects of the Binding Stone Farmer's Elixir (available from the Event Vendor).
+ Placing in the Top 10 on the Goblin Event Leaderboard will grant a Golden title: Goblin Stomper
+ Reaching Platinum Tier during the Goblin Event will grant a Platinum title: Blighted Hero
Changed from 2017:
+ Massive Glintergoblin Crate has been converted into the Goblin Horde Crate. This is a single pull locked crate which contains the elusive Goblin Speed Sets, and newly this year Goblaun Vanity Weapons, Heroic Korruption, and a new Mythic Pet: Chester! Chester awards the player bonus gold loot % while attacking enemies.
+ Goblin Horde Crates cannot be crafted from Underhul or Twilight Locked crates. Instead of crafting, Goblin Horde Crates can be dropped from bosses within the event zone as well as purchased for Goblin Tokens from the Event Vendor.
+ Purchasable items from the Event Vendor have been updated, grab your wet suit and currency chests!
+ The Goblin Altar Relic no longer requires energy to be crafted, but consumes the recipe upon crafting.
+ Placing anywhere Top 50 or above on the leaderboard grants you the Goblin Gold Sack Back Vanity and The Eye of Goblaun Banner
