The [[Caverns of Frost]] is an optional Act III dungeon located in the [[Fields of Slaughter]]. It may not appear every game.

It is home to [[Chiltara]], an elite that drops the [[Gibbering Gemstone]], a reagent required to create the [[Staff of Herding]]. Please note that [[Chiltara]] may not be a guaranteed spawn.

		+	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.

		+	The easiest, fastest, and most efficient approach to farming CoF is to gather a group of 3-4 people and run the instance repeatedly on Torment level 1-2 until the item is dropped. If you load into Act III and see the [[Icefall Caves]] in the Fields of Slaughter, the best option is to quit out and reload the game until the CoF spawns in the area.(I usually get 2-3 spawns of CoF in a row, before getting just about the same # of spawns before it switches back again... avg. 3 runs in CoF, then 3x quitting & reloading game. I have yet to get a GG, despite hours of farming just that 1 spot and Chiltara spawns almost 100% of the time). This allows the party the most opportunities to run the instance, and gives a somewhat higher drop rate due to party bonuses… ie. Magic item find bonuses, etc.
		+
		+	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.
