Treasure Goblins, what to expect when expecting.

[Atselmya]

So, I did some trials with goblins because one day I went,
Hey. why the hell do I see green, gold, white and brown bagged goblins?
Why the hell is this a Pygmy? I could have sworn the last one I killed was a seeker..
Then it dawned on me.
There are different Goblins!
Some of you might be thinking I'm retarded for not noticing this before, or even noticing, but eh.

I did some killing.
On Inferno, 0% Gold/Magic Find.
Just because I was curious.

Treasure Goblin; Gold Bag/Grey Skin

1) 6 magic items - x4 Secret Tomes
- 680 gold
2) 5 magic items - x2 Secret Tomes
-700 gold

Treasure Seeker; Brown Bag/Red skin

1) 4 magic items - x1 Secret Tomes
3 gems
400 gold

2) 5 magic items - no tomes
2 gems
700 gold

Treasure Pygmy; Grey bag/Gold skin

1) 3 magic items
1 rare item
700 gold

2) 4 magic items
1 rare item
1000 gold

Treasure Bandit; White Bag/Grey Skin

1) 8 magic items - x3 tomes
600 gold

7 magic items - x4 tomes
800 gold

All in all the Treasure Bandit seems to drop a good amount of blues compared to his brethren.

The Treasure Goblin, which seemed to be less rare seemed to drop at least 1 gold when I kill him.

Treasure Seeker - Gems. That is all.

Not very many Pygmy's, I can't really for say what they have.
There is also speculation that the color of the Treasurers bag gives a hint of what kind of items it drops,
But I haven't seen that actually make any sense.
I know, RNG, and luck, and what not.
But this was just a test for myself, and I thought it would be kind of cool reading material to share with the rest of you.

Lol, I had no idea that there were more then one kind of "treasure goblins", me and my friends have always called them goblins for some reason, but I have never reacted to that there are more then one sort of them! xD

+rep for the list.

You didn't even change the title. I highly doubt that is you, atleast give credit...

[cha0sbg]

That's not all , there are specific goblins that have a epic chance of droping set items, and others that have a high ( 50% or more ) to drop legenderies. But note these are extremely rare !

As someone who's had their own stuff ripped off and passed off as another's work, I cannot tell you how much I loathe people like the OP (assuming, of course, they are not the original author) At the very least give credit for someone else's hard work. Really wish I could -rep if the OP isn't the original author

On a more on topic note, the info is interesting and I'd like to see a longer test to see if we can find out what TD is more apt to drop what.

I noticed the diff names and layouts,, and also pygmys gave rares, other gave gems.

Id like to confirm that I do indeed have accounts on other forums.

[Doranians]

Wow I actually didn't know about this at all!

[LindeCutah]

Hah I can't believe I haven't noticed this I was telling my mates about the colors of the GOBLINS indicating the loot quality, then went 'wtf' when I saw a red glow one. (indicators are blue -> yellow -> green -> gold/brown)

+ rep for sharing haha!

[Doranians]

Confirmed found some new ones myself.

[L0Liver]

gold skin, purple bag.

Me - no rares
Friend 1 - 1 rare
Friend 2 - 2 rares

[L0Liver]

gold skin, purple bag - second run.

Me - 2 rares
Friend 1 - 2 rares
my other 2 friends got no rares. seems tho that this one drops rares quite alot.

I have been waiting for a post like this! (was actually thinking of doing one when I farmed the treasure goblin in act 2). +rep!, lets keep this thread going and see what sweet conclusions we can draw!
