Puzzle Ring Goblin Farming

[dkcakewalk]

The 1.04 Puzzle Ring has a chance to summon a Goblin when the wearer is hit. A lot of aspiring goblin farmers want to know how it works to gauge it's value. Here is what I've found by testing as well as a guide on how to use it with your MF group.
Current Function:

• The Goblin spawn has a 15 min internal cooldown
• The cooldown expires even if you aren't using the ring (So put it on, kill the goblin, and take it off for 15 min while you use a better ring)
• The cooldown is applied to the character and not the ring
• The goblin spawned will be a 1st act goblin of the game difficulty (I.E. in any act of inferno, an act 1 inferno goblin will spawn)
• The inferno goblin can drop ilvl 63 rares (I've picked up a few myself, don't know if it can drop ilvl 63 set/legendary however)

I found that the cooldown is applied to the character who was wearing the ring when the goblin spawns by wearing 1 Puzzle ring, spawning a goblin, then wearing a 2nd Puzzle Ring. With this information I present this guide for goblin farming groups.

Group Farming Guide:
Instead of all 4 players in the group using a Puzzle Ring, a group of trusted friends can swap 1 ring around to spawn 4 goblins per 15 min. This way only a single goblin spawns at a time and can be easily handled, and the initial investment is much lower. I have tested this with a friend, and can confirm that a single ring will spawn multiple goblins within the 15 min cooldown when shared among the party. Enjoy!

Have everyone in the group equip the ring once prior to starting the run. Equipping the ring seems to start the initial 15 min internal cd.

Does the cooldown reset when you create a new game?

I would like to know about that too.

The cooldown begins when you first equip the ring in a game, so you will have a 15 min wait after entering a new game for the first goblin to spawn.

According to this Blizz post, it does work equipped on a follower.
Puzzle Ring clarification : Blue please! - Forums - Diablo III

However, the farming guide I posted using the same ring to spawn multiple goblins in within the 15 min cd does not seem to work with a follower. To clarify, I equipped the ring on my follower. Then, I equipped the ring myself to start both initial 15 min cooldowns. After 15 min, a goblin spawned, and I switched the ring to my follower. It took another 15 min to spawn a goblin meaning the cooldown was applied to my characte,r and the follower does not have its own cooldown.

Because of the nature of the ring's limitations, I'm not certain if my guide is clever use of game mechanics or an exploit that will be patched. So use it while you can. 4 goblins per 15 min with 5 NV stacks fills up your inventory with rares fast.

don't have the ring, but i thank you for enlightening us on the topic!

Ring has two cooldown(cd), initial cd and running cd. initial cd is 9 mins, running cd is 15 mins.
And initial cd need equip, but running cd not need equip.

For this reazon, efficient mthod is following.
1. You equip Ring at game start, and play 9 mins. (initial cd)
2. You will receive hit, goblin spawn.
3. You change more better ring and play 15 mins. (running cd)
4. After 15mins, you equip Ring.
5. go to 2.
