There is no known use for this feather or for the feathers, also found on snow griffins. The only thing of value dropped by snow griffins are the snow griffin eggs, used for the Coldain Shawl quests.
they are DEFINITELY for pissing the hell outta you when you are looking for eggs and get these instead ;) they should rename thes to "Nyah nyah nyah nyah Talon" or something similar.
yea you guys don't know frustration..... I don't know how many snow griffs i have killed because more than a few drop nothin,... but i had 15 talons and 9 feathers and only 2 eggs.. after reading this I finally cleaned out my bags of this trash...(nyah nyah talons and feathers).. well only 2 more..... sigh..... Also they seem to spawn in the area halfway between kael ramp and sleepers... the elders will also cast a ds on themselves if they get to stop more than once before you engage them. I cancel magic on them then snare, then fear, and whack away...
Tangle, you shouldn't be too upset. 3 eggs after 8 kills is an amazing ratio. On the Tarew Marr server the drops seem a lot rarer than that. Maybe 1 out of 5 on a good day. Anyway, gtaz to you on the quick success. Now get that 4th one and get your shawl.
