The '''''Caverns of Frost ''''' is an optional Act III dungeon located in the [[Fields of Slaughter]]. It may not appear ever game because the [[Caverns of Frost ]] only spawns about 30-40% of the time, and the [[Icefall Caves]] will be the dungeon spawning in the FoS the remainder of that time <ref>[diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Caverns_of_Frost] The Caverns of Frost] - Diablo.Wikia.com 15/04/15</ref>>.
It is home to [[Chiltara]], a super unique elite Lacuni that drops the [[Gibbering Gemstone]], a reagent required to create the [[Staff of Herding]]. Please note that [[Chiltara]] may not be guaranteed to spawn, but in Adventure Mode difficulties Torment or higher, [[Chiltara]] will spawn most of the time, but very very rarely drops the [[Gibbering Gemstone]]. Chiltara will no longer drop [[Frozen Blood]] or the [[Urn of Quickening]], both previously used in crafting specific legendary items, which no longer require specialized item-specific ingredients to craft after Blizzard removed that element of the game in Patch 2.0.6 during the summer of 2014. <ref>[us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/14397824/patch-206-now-live-6-10-2014#items] Patch 2.0.6 Now Live - Blizzard, battle.net 15/04/15</ref>.

Most players farm this instance for the [[Gibbering Gemstone]], dropped by [[Chiltara]] on level 2 of the [[Caverns of Frost]], but is extremely rarely. It is necessary ingredient in crafting the [[Staff of Herding]] so you can enter [[Whimsyshire]], but this is also the hardest to acquire material/item in the game.
However, even though Blizzard has changed Chiltara's spawn rate from between 0-5% spawn chance to almost 100% at Torment levels 1 & 2, since about Patch 2.0.5 in 2014, per user request/complaints about the impossibility of finding this boss, Blizzard has reduced the drop rate from almost 100% to very low, probably almost equivalent percentage in order to keep this item the most difficult to find just as originally intended.
<blockquote>Grimiku, Community Manager:
I have some good news about Chiltara for those of you who've had a tough time finding her as of late. In a future patch, we’re going to increase the chance that she’ll spawn in the Caverns of Frost. Our intention with this change is to make it a bit easier for players to construct a Staff of Herding, but still keep the Gibbering Gemstone as the most difficult component to find: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/11883998315#2
Whenever [[Chiltara]] does drops the [[Gibbering Gemstone]], every party member will receive one. This item is ''<u>Account Bound</u>'' on drop so there is no way to sell or trade away the GG or SoH once acquired.

==Trivia==
The [[Gibbering Gemstone]], may have a slight connection to the "[[Chat Gem]]" present on battle.net chat room UI after D2's release. While the "[[Chat Gem]]" served no real purpose other than to drive the fans batty with questions, and make the game developers laugh so hard they peed a little watching us frantically try to discover secrets it never had, Blizzard was always quoted confidently, that it was working perfectly as planned<ref>[diablo2.diablowiki.net/Chat_Gem Chat Gem]-Diablowiki.net 15/04/15</ref>
