Giant Beards - The Mighty Snowfang Hero
 

I think I figured this one out.

There are two Beards from Frost Giants.

1: Woven Frost Giant Beard

Tradeable Beard used for Coldain Shawl.

Should only drop in Kael, East Wastes, Great Divide, and possibly from Thurgadin Goos.

2: Frost Giant Scout Beard

No Drop Beard used in The Mighty Snowfang Hero quest.

This beard should only drop from giants in Great Divide or Iceclad Ocean, and it is not dropping. I've killed many giants with no success.

However, I did get the Woven Frost Giant Beard off giants in Iceclad Ocean, and according to the Allakhazam Wiki the Woven Beard should not drop from giants in that zone.

In conclusion : I'm positive the Scout Beard isn't dropping and the Woven Beard is taking it's place.

As of last beta patch, giants in iceclad should only be dropping the scout beard.

The patch from 5 days ago? Ok

I did this all before that so it makes sense.

Just lazy posting.

got Frost Giant Scout Beard off third scout!
