Cobalt Bar

Cobalt Bars are crafted from 3 Cobalt Ore. It is the first tier of the three hardmode ores that the player is able to obtain. Cobalt equipment, as the name would suggest, is colored deep blue. Certain items in the set have a distinctly Japanese theme, the spear being a naginata and the headgear variations resembling Japanese headdresses. To craft all Cobalt equipment (and five Light Discs) the player needs to acquire 170 bars, or a total of 510 ore, to craft all cobalt equipment without the light discs, you will need 120 cobalt bars, or 360 ores, however, they are an extremely valuable, and easy to collect resource, so any extra should be collected and sold. The Cobalt Shield is not craftable from Cobalt bars; it can only be found naturally.
