Cobalt looks to be the new Fel Iron, minable at 350 mining skill from Cobalt Node, and taking 1 ore to smelt into a bar. Wowhead also has an entry for Rich Cobalt Node, whereas Fel Iron in The Burning Crusade did not have a rich eqivalent. I'm assuming that the suffix "Node" is just a placeholder for the beta, and will be replaced by "Vein" or "Deposit".

Edit: It's a few months later, and the suffix "Node" still remains. The word doesn't seem to fit in with the game world well, but it's no big deal.

And now in the latest build, cobalt ore prospects properly into Northrend gems. Sweet.

No more dust apparently, fwiw.

Prospecting data here must either be wrong or Blizzard haven't finish it. According to my experience all colors of gems "spawn" with same rate.

As of late, It only takes one ore to smelt cobolt into a bar, other northrend ores still take 2

This route that I found looks kinda nice:

@yogomove

Its just incomplete, after only 2000 records of prospecting you dont have enough data to make the estimate accurate.

But its probably about 22% chance each (since you can get multiple gems from 1 prospect).

is it just more or is the spawn rate of these less than everything else in classic and outland nodes? In borean tundra I have leveled and only seen like 5 nodes. In Classic and Outland Fel Iron and copper were every 2 feet.

Cobalt is actually a real mineral and here is the article about it :

Cobalt (pronounced /ˈkoʊbɒlt/) is a hard, lustrous, grey metal, a chemical element with symbol Co. Although cobalt-based colors and pigments have been used since ancient times, and miners have long used the name kobold ore for some minerals, cobalt was only discovered in 1735 by Georg Brandt. It is found in various metallic-lustred ores for example cobaltite (CoAsS), but it is produced as a by-product of copper and nickel mining. The copper belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia yields most of the worldwide mined cobalt. Cobalt is used in the preparation of magnetic, wear-resistant, and high-strength alloys. Cobalt blue (cobalt(II) aluminate, CoAl2O4) gives a distinctive deep blue color to glass, ceramics, inks, paints, and varnishes.

Heres my route I'm using without a flying mount, I'm sure it'll change somewhat then. Its simple and easy to remember after a couple laps.

Using the Wowhead plugin for Gatherer I followed a route in Howling Fjord. I hit every node going from Fort Wildevar, south, past the Explorer's Outpost, north of Utgarde, south east to New Agamand, and then followed the eastern coast to the mountains, and back to Fort Wildevar again.

I am going to keep records of my cobalt received during a circuit. I will follow my route everyday, probably once a day.

Run 1: 95 Cobalt Ore, 1 Blue Gem(s): Forest Emerald
Run 2: 75 Cobalt Ore, 2 Blue Gem(s): Autumn's Glow, Sky Sapphire

I tried to go to Zul'Drak for rich cobalt but it seems to yield less cobalt. May or may not be caused by other farmers.

Run 1: 35 Cobalt

With the blacksmithing nerf I will stop gathering cobalt until I find another reason for them.

I found this a great way of making money. Some people sell the ores for half the price of the bars because they don't know that you only need 1 per bar if you see ores raaly cheap and bars with a higher value buy them smelt them sell them with profit :)

My somewhat limited experience in prospecting these and saronite ore tells me that cobalt ore is better to prospect than saronite. Why?

Because i usually receive 2 uncommon quality gems per 5 prospected cobalt ore while this is more uncommon when prospecting saronite. The drop rate for rare quality gems does not seem to be very much better when prospecting saronite ore than cobalt ore.

A downside when farming cobalt is that you won't find any titanium ore.

Cobalt can NOT be mined just by being level 350 mining.

My level 55 priest, which I had worked really hard at getting her mining skill up so i could get the +60 stamina benefit from toughness and have enough life to survive against dks in bgs couldnt mine it. Even though she had learnt the grand master skill, had 375 mining (the node was also yellow) and could smelt it. It just said my level wasn't high enough. (Not mining skill level, just my level)

I was rather annoyed, because it didnt happen when i did the same thing in OL, I could mine adamantite when i was level 40.

Im not sure what level you do have to be to mine it, probably 60, hopefully not 68 but Ill let you know when I get there.

Edit: Cobalt can be mined at 65. I just went back today and could get it and read some other guys post on thottbot that said level 63s couldnt mine it so I guess 65 is the lowest level you have to be.
