Where do you find Cobalt ore in Hytale? Hytale is all about survival, forcing you to craft the tools required to defend yourself against the harsh enemies roaming the vast world around you.

To make yourself durable early on,  you need to think about forging the best weapons and armor, and that involves locating Hytale Cobalt, one of the crafting game's rarest and most valuable resources. While Copper and Iron are easy to find, and the likes of Mithril are incredibly rare, Hytale's Thorium and Cobalt are going to see you through most of the game, so here's why to find plenty of the latter.

Cobalt can be found in the Whisperfront Frontiers biome. While you can find it below ground, your best bet is to search the aboveground shale columns, as these tend to hold large veins of Cobalt.

Once collected, Cobalt, like all ores, can be smelted in a furnace to use in crafting ingredients, turning them into ingots. Some of the most important uses for Cobalt Ingots are:

  • Furnace upgrade
  • Cobalt Sword
  • Cobalt Daggers
  • Cobalt Helm
  • Cobalt Cuirass
  • Cobalt Gauntlets
  • Cobalt Greaves
  • Cobalt Shield
