From Zero to One Million: The Fastest Way to Farm Obducite in Diablo 4's Goblin Event
In the ever-shifting world of Sanctuary, Diablo 4 continues to unveil powerful secrets hidden behind seasonal events. One such treasure trove recently emerged in the form of a jaw-dropping Goblin Event, yielding massive quantities of Obducite — a precious material used in masterworking gear. Through relentless grinding, strategic map routing, and clever inventory manipulation, I amassed 1,000,000 Obducite in just 48 hours. Here's the exact method I used to get there, and how you can replicate (or even exceed) these results before the event disappears.

Understanding Obducite and Why It Matters
In Diablo 4, Obducite is essential for masterworking, a high-end crafting feature that allows players to push their gear to new heights. With enough Obducite, you can triple-crit gear, elevate rare items into god-tier equipment, and fine-tune your character's performance. Normally, Obducite is obtained in modest amounts through elite mobs and material bags. But during this Goblin Frenzy Event, it's raining down in heaps.
But here's the catch: there's a cap — 1 million Obducite. Once you reach it, excess Obducite drops to the floor, unrecoverable unless you make room by spending it.
Why the Goblin Event Is the Perfect Farming Window
This event is time-limited, chaotic, and incredibly rewarding. Goblins are spawning faster, dropping more loot, and most importantly, dropping Obducite at record-breaking levels. Particularly, green goblins have a chance to drop up to 2,500 Obducite each, making them the focal point of your farming run.
The best part? With proper routing and technique, you can farm up to 100,000 Obducite per hour. That’s not clickbait — it’s real, and I did it live. Let’s talk prep first.
Preparing for the Farm: Build, Gear & Inventory Tips
My Build: Hydra + Ball Lightning Sorcerer
If you're serious about speed and efficiency, the Hydra Ball Lightning Sorcerer is unmatched. This build utilizes:
Okun Catalyst for rapid teleportation
Hydra for passive DPS
Ball Lightning that hits multiple times for high AoE
Pair this with cooldown reduction boots and extra attack speed rolls, and you become a goblin-slaying whirlwind.
Inventory Management
Obducite starts piling up quickly. Once you hit the cap, anything extra drops to the floor. So, you need a plan to spend and store Obducite while farming.
Best Obducite Farming Routes
You’ll want to rotate between different zones to ensure goblin spawns don’t dry up. Here are the three best routes.
Route 1: Cat Baru Circuit
This is hands-down my favorite. Here's the pattern:
Start south of Cat Baru
Teleport around the city in a large circular path
Prioritize green goblins and greed shrines
On average, you can grab 10,000–12,000 Obducite per run, with multiple goblins every few minutes.
Route 2: Nanu Loop
Another solid choice, albeit more competitive due to popularity:
Begin at Nanu Waypoint
Sweep the entire outer and inner zones
Watch out for lag if the area is crowded
Yield here averages 8,000–10,000 per full loop.
Route 3: Desert Circle Run
The Desert Route is ideal for solo runs:
Few obstacles and open terrain
Fewer players, less competition
Easily nets 10,000+ Obducite per pass
Do a full loop from one waypoint through the desert arc. Easy and clean.
Optimizing Goblin Kills
To maximize Obducite drops:
Focus on green goblins — they offer the highest yield
Stack movement speed buffs to move quickly between mobs
Activate Greed Shrines whenever you find them
Ignore lesser goblins unless they're clustered
Scan the minimap constantly for goblin indicators
Green Goblins: Your Best Friends
These elusive creatures are your golden ticket. Each green goblin:
Drops ~2,000+ Obducite
Has a 50% chance to drop an extra material bag
Can be found every 1–2 minutes on efficient routes
In a single 15-minute span, I was able to kill 5 green goblins, netting me nearly 13,000 Obducite.
Obducite Storage Hack: Masterworking to Save Materials
When you hit the 1M cap, there's a smart workaround:
Craft random items (amulets, boots, gloves)
Use Obducite to masterwork them
Salvage those items afterward to recover the Obducite
This essentially banks your Obducite inside the item until you're ready to spend it efficiently.
Example:
Triple masterwork a rare amulet
Salvage it for 6,000+ Obducite
Reclaim the excess after crafting more gear
Rinse. Repeat. Profit.
How to Avoid Wasting Drops at the Cap
Once you’ve hit the cap:
Stop farming immediately
Offload materials by masterworking lesser gear
Open material bags only after room is made
Salvage crafted gear to free up more space
Avoid standing in a goblin nest when capped — you’ll lose thousands of Obducite as it drops uselessly to the ground.
Estimated Yield: What You Can Expect Per Hour
Depending on your efficiency, your hourly haul may vary:
Low RNG: ~60,000 Obducite/hour
Normal RNG: ~85,000/hour
Good RNG: ~100,000+/hour
Throw in Forgotten Souls, gold, and material bags, and your total value skyrockets.
Final Thoughts: The Future of Farming Post-Event
The Goblin Event in Diablo 4 is a once-in-a-season phenomenon. If you're not exploiting it now, you're leaving thousands of Obducite on the table. Blizzard may nerf drop rates or eliminate this event entirely in the next patch, so maximize your grind before Tuesday.
If you’re sitting on triple-crit gear already, start banking Obducite for future alt characters. Thinking of rolling a Necromancer? Now’s the time to prep.
Pro Tips Before You Go:
Play during off-peak hours to avoid crowded maps
Use teleportation builds to farm faster
Join a private party to control loot share
Monitor your Obducite stash constantly
And of course: don’t forget to pet the kitty for triple-crit luck.
🏁 Conclusion: Obducite Overload — A Once-in-a-Season Opportunity
The Goblin Goldmine event in Diablo 4 is not just lucrative — it's unprecedented. Farming 1 million Obducite in just 48 hours is a feat that once seemed impossible, but with the right build, route, and speed — it’s absolutely attainable. Whether you're triple critting with your Sorcerer, hoarding materials for future characters, or pushing the boundaries of masterworking, this event is your golden ticket.
Use this time wisely. Learn the optimal paths through Cat Baru, Nanu, and the Desert Loop, and refine your goblin-detection instincts. Stack those Forgotten Souls, open every material pouch, and stay alert — because green goblins don’t wait.
When the event ends, the economy shifts. Obducite will become scarce again. Take advantage now, experiment with new builds, and masterwork like never before. If you’re still on the fence, know this: you won’t get another opportunity like this anytime soon.
Get out there. Farm hard. Cap fast.
❓ FAQ: Diablo 4 Obducite Goblin Farming
Q: What is Obducite used for in Diablo 4?
A: Obducite is a high-tier crafting material used in masterworking gear, improving item affixes, and unlocking higher-tier enhancements.
Q: What’s the current cap for Obducite?
A: The current cap is 1,000,000 Obducite. Once reached, any extra drops on the floor and cannot be picked up until you spend or store some.
Q: How can I store extra Obducite after hitting the cap?

Q: Where is the best location to farm goblins?
A: The top three zones are Cat Baru, Nanu, and the Desert Route. Cat Baru is especially efficient with its circular path and shrine density.
Q: How much Obducite can I expect per hour?
A: With solid RNG and route efficiency, 100,000+ Obducite per hour is very possible, especially when farming green goblins with high-output drops.
Q: Can I farm Obducite in a party?
A: Yes, but note that Obducite is not shared — it drops individually and can’t be picked up by party members once you’re capped.
Q: What build is best for farming goblins?
A: The Hydra Ball Lightning Sorcerer with the Okun Catalyst is incredibly fast, offering high teleport speed, rapid shrine clearing, and AoE burst.
Q: Is this farming method permanent?
