Not to be confused with Cobalt armor, an armor set created with Cobalt Bars.

Ancient Cobalt armor is an armor set obtained from Hornets and Man Eaters in the Underground Jungle. Each piece is dropped individually with a 1/300 (0.33%) chance.

The Ancient Cobalt armor design is based on a version of Cobalt armor that appeared before the 1.0.3 update, when it was replaced by Jungle armor. The old design was later re-introduced, in 1.2, as Ancient Cobalt armor. It currently shares identical stats with Jungle armor, but differs in appearance. Furthermore, Jungle armor and Ancient Cobalt armor pieces can be mixed and matched while still providing their set bonus.

With a full set equipped, the player leaves an after-image effect when in motion, similar to Shadow armor, Necro armor, and the current version of Cobalt armor.

Notes

  • Despite its name, Ancient Cobalt armor is not functionally related to the current Cobalt armor set, nor with Cobalt Ore.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.1:
    • Increased the Magic critical chance bonus on the Hat and Pants from 4% to 6%.
    • Replaced the 4% Magic critical bonus on the Shirt with a 6% Magic damage bonus.
  • Desktop 1.3.0.1:
    • Total defense increased from 15 to 17.
    • Max mana bonus increased from 60 to 80.
    • Critical strike chance increased from 9% to 12%.
  • Desktop 1.2.3:
    • Fixed bug where Ancient Cobalt armor pieces did not grant critical strike chance.
    • Fixed bug where you didn't get the set bonus by mixing Ancient Cobalt & Jungle armor pieces.
    • Fixed bug where the Ancient Cobalt Leggings would always be dropped alongside the Ancient Cobalt Helmet, which effectively gave the item a 1/150 (0.67%) drop chance.
  • Desktop 1.2: Re-introduced as Ancient Cobalt armor, but without the mana regeneration boost.
