Notes

  • The Cobalt Shield and Ancient Cobalt armor are not related to Cobalt Bars, and are not craftable. They can only be obtained as loot.
  • Cobalt equipment is slightly weaker than Palladium equipment in terms of base stats, but is cheaper to craft.

Trivia

  • Several Cobalt items have a distinctive Eastern theme, the spear being a naginata, the sword somewhat resembling a Katana, or the katana-like Muramasa, the Chinese themed Repeater, and the headgear variations resembling Japanese and/or Chinese headdresses.
  • Real cobalt is not blue in pure form, but rather a lustrous, silver-gray. Cobalt oxide is used to make a blue pigment, which probably inspired its appearance in Terraria. Historically, cobalt compounds were used for centuries to color glass, glazes, and ceramics in Egyptian sculpture, Persian jewelry, and Chinese porcelain (which may explain its Eastern theme in Terraria).
