What to know

  • Cobalt armor is a Tier 2 set designed for mid-game progression
  • Focuses on solid physical and projectile resistance
  • Each piece boosts Signature Attack damage
  • Crafted exclusively at the Armorer’s Workbench (Tier 2)

Cobalt armor sits comfortably between early survival gear and high-tier sets in Hytale. If you’re pushing into more dangerous regions or fighting elite enemies, this set gives you a noticeable bump in durability while also improving your offensive output through Signature Attack bonuses.

Workbench and crafting requirements

All Cobalt armor recipes unlock at the Armorer’s Workbench (Tier 2). Unlike Mithril, you do not need the highest bench tier, but the materials themselves come from more dangerous regions and enemies.

Cobalt armor relies on rare fabric components, pushing you to explore shadow-infested zones and defeat tougher mobs.

How to craft the Cobalt armor set step by step

  1. Locate Cobalt ore in higher-risk underground regions and smelt it in a Furnace to produce Cobalt Ingots.
  2. Ensure your workbench is fully upgraded to Tier 2 so Cobalt recipes appear.
  3. Hunt strong creatures for Heavy Leather and explore shadow-themed zones or enemies to obtain Shadoweave Scraps.
  4. Open the Tier 2 Armorer’s Workbench and craft the helm, cuirass, gauntlets, and greaves individually.
  5. Equipping all four pieces gives you consistent defensive coverage and stacked Signature Attack bonuses.

Where Cobalt armor fits in progression

Cobalt armor is best suited for players transitioning into ability-focused combat. If you rely on Signature Attacks, Cobalt offers noticeable damage scaling compared to Thorium, while still maintaining solid defenses.

It serves as a strong bridge before committing to Adamantite or Mithril gear.

If your playstyle favors active combat and ability usage, Cobalt armor is one of the most rewarding mid-to-late game sets in Hytale. It balances survivability with offense, making it ideal for challenging zones where damage output matters as much as defense.
