Gobs Now Only 15 Minutes?

The timer for the Gobin Mini-game only gave us 15 minutes today instead of the normal,
considerably longer period

This is the first time that I have ever seen such a short
time. We did nothing different from prior runs. which gave the normal time duration.

Has the same thing happened to you?
Do you have any idea why the time was set so low for us?

That means it went into a special event mode. There should have been the goblin chief walking around the middle of the final room to give you a reward (usually a temporary pet, or a transport rune, things like that). It happens infrequently

A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

As much as I'd love to say I offer consulting services, the scope of things broken is too large.

Yes if it's 15 minutes that's a good thing, last time I got transport runes out of the chiefs box.

Yes, I did notice the goblin chief, but didn't have time to go after him. It would have been a priority if I understood the importance, If you kill the goblin chief do you get extra time in addition to the special reward? To get the reward do you loot the goblin chief's body or is there a chest?

It happens so infrequently I am not certain, but I beleive you need to finish the entire instance, then the box appears for you to loot(you may need to talk to the chief). The catch to getting the extra loot is you only get 15min. to do the entire instance. The extra loot is decent, just if you are lower level it is hard to complete in 15min.

It's pretty easy to complete it in 5-10 minutes solo...and even faster in a group.

I'd rather this type of Goblin's be more common than it is now; the rewards you can get from that chest are pretty awesome, aside from the useless goblin pets.

If you finish the instance in time, all you have to do is talk to the chief to get access to the loot

When you get the special event, you may notice that in addition to the reduced timer there was a message that appeared on your screen announcing the event. You need to kill all the elementals in the last room, then go talk to the Goblin chief to get your reward. By the way, most times the reward is meh; unless you like Goblin transformation potions.

I regularly finish gobs in 5-7 minutes. If I bribe the first goblin i can complete it faster. Of course beigna mage and spamming purge the whole way means nothing lives for long when i go there.
