Goblin Origin Explained – Medieval Origins Revival

Goblins are one of the most unique origins in Medieval Origins Revival, offering players a fast but fragile playstyle centered around gold gear bonuses. In this guide, we’ll break down all of the Goblin’s abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and how to use them effectively in your early game exploration.

What is a Goblin?

Goblins are characterized by their distinctive appearance and gameplay mechanics. They are very small, appearing yellow or slightly green in color, and possess exceptional speed. The core identity of Goblins revolves around their obsession with gold and treasure.

Goblin Abilities and Bonuses

Gold Gear Bonuses

One of the Goblin’s primary strengths is their affinity with gold equipment. When wearing or using gold gear, you gain Luck as a bonus. This effect scales with mechanics like Loot and Adventure Packs, making it particularly powerful in modpacks that emphasize loot variety.

Gold Durability Enhancement

Goblins possess a special relationship with gold that extends beyond luck. Gold gear in their hands lasts much longer than it would for other origins, granting higher durability to gold-based equipment. This makes gold tools and armor significantly more efficient for Goblin players.

Cunning and Loot

Goblins have natural cunning, which grants them increased loot whenever they search for treasure. This passive ability works in conjunction with their gold obsession, allowing them to find more resources during exploration.

Physical Characteristics

Size and Height

Goblins are noticeably smaller than humans, which gives them a distinctive silhouette in the game world. Their reduced height means they can navigate spaces that larger origins cannot.

Speed Advantage

Despite their small stature, Goblins are incredibly fast. This speed allows them to outrun threats and explore quickly. You’ll notice that jumping and climbing one block heights is seamless for Goblins, making parkour and vertical traversal effortless.

Weaknesses

Low Health and Defense

The trade-off for the Goblin’s speed and gold bonuses is significantly reduced health and defense compared to human origins. Goblins are extremely vulnerable in direct combat situations, making them poor choices for players who engage in frequent PvP or difficult combat encounters.

When to Choose Goblin

Goblins are an excellent choice for early-game exploration, particularly if you’re not planning to use gold equipment early on and want to preserve iron for other crafting recipes. Their speed makes them ideal for traversing the world quickly and gathering initial resources. However, if you’re planning heavy combat or have limited experience with the modpack, a more defensive origin might be a safer choice.

Summary

Goblins are a fast, treasure-hunting origin that excels at early-game exploration and gold-based playstyles. With their luck bonuses, durability enhancements, and exceptional speed, they’re perfect for players seeking an agile, loot-focused experience. Just remember to manage your health carefully and avoid prolonged combat encounters when possible.
