    In the third act, quest is kill the seigebreaker. Use the Waypoint and select The Bridge of Korrsikk, step forward and you will be in the Fields of Slaughter. If you run along the edge of the map you can find a Loot Goblin.
    I was also able to find a Loot Goblin in the caves of frost while looking for the gibbering gemstone. So if you are really lucky, you can get up to 3 in a single run.

    I have confirmed this on hell and inferno, across all difficulties. He spawned 95% 100% of the time. I was able to grind out 15 in less than an hour.

    Credit for this find goes to Kaynx, a personal friend, for pointing this out.
    Credit to zamacgod303 for confirming 100% success rate.

    Hexa FoxI know this is old but does anyone know if the other 'treasure enemies' count towards this? Like "Treasure Bandits" for instance? I completed the Xbox One version and do not remember seeing these enemies.

    [Potential spoiler if you haven't beaten the story]

    Just a little something to add to the other solutions posted here. This one is based on a random chance of an item drop. But I just wanted to post it here for people to be aware when they find it.

    The best item I found to help out with this so far is a Puzzle Ring. The ring that I found has a property to randomly spawn an treasure goblin when hit. If you find one of these, make sure you wear it. I found my ring about half way through my Nightmare play through when I had just over 50 goblins found, and by the time I finished Nightmare I was about 15 away from getting this achievement.

    One more thing, you may want to take the ring off for boss fights. It was a little more than alarming when a goblin suddenly appeared during the fight with

    Hope this helps.

    LordSuprachrisThat's how I'm going for the achievement, this item makes things really easier and removes the need to grind for it.
    Plus, the goblins spawned thanks to this ring are weaker than the "normal" ones you find here and there and don't flee as fast, thus making them way easier to kill.
