For other incarnations of the item, see Frostburn.
The Frostburn are legendary gloves in Diablo III. They require Character Level 60 to drop.
The unique legendary power's chance to trigger is subject to the Proc Coefficient of the skill dealing the Cold damage. Its damage bonus is the same category as the standard bonuses to Cold skills appearing on other items, stacks with them additively, and appears as a secondary stat on the Character Screen Details tab.

Trivia[]
- Prior to Patch 2.0.1, Frostburn Gauntlets were the only gloves in game to grant Elemental Damage, in addition to bonus Cold skills damage, but could not roll any random properties, severely limiting the usefulness. They were considered the worst choice for the slot, even for Cold-oriented builds, because they could not roll core stats, Attack Speed, Critical Hit Chance, nor Critical Hit Damage. Some players abbreviated the Frostburn as FB, a pun on the name and the phrase "Free Brimstone" - Fiery Brimstone being the crafting material gained by salvaging the Frostburn.
