This is like the Fel Iron Deposit of Wrath of the Lich King, considering the fact that it can be found in earlier zones like Howling Fjord and Borean Tundra.

Acku의 댓글

This mining node can be found in Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills and Zul'Drak.

Any idea why wowhead does not have it listed as an object in Howling Fjord? Can anyone confirm there are nodes in the Fjord?

Goes green at skill 400.

I like cobalt, easy to spot and looks sweet. Good job blizzard. It respawns fast as well.

These are indeed in howling fjord, mostly around the cliff edges.

Can also contain Dark Jade.

Just confirmed that these will stay green all the way to 450 Mining.

My level 68 on an epic mount managed to skill up all the way to 450 in Howling Fjord exclusively and the last skill-up was from a regular Cobalt Node, not a Rich one.

These nodes have a 0.1 chance to drop/mine the blue once

Smelting these down and putting them up for auction is a great way to make some cash while levelling.

They are currently going for about 70-80g/stack on my server (Silvermoon EU)

u can also mine Twilight Opals from Cobalt Nodes

dafez의 댓글

Zul'Drak has the most nodes of all the Northrend zones. In a little under 30 minutes, I can pass every node point in the zone once. In one circuit, I get:

50-60 Cobalt Ore
10-15 Crystallized Earth
5-10 Crystallized Water
1-3 Saronite Ore

I usually have to kill 2-3 mobs max in the circuit, but I'm a Druid, and instant-cast Swift Flight Form saves me from fighting mobs on occasion.

These appear to have been renamed to Cobalt Deposit with 3.0.8. This has broken addons that track node locations, though I was able to correct all references in the one I use and get it working.

Its also drops http://www.wowhead.com/?item=36927 Twilight Opal blue gem I mined one now I mean today :) and it was not the Rich type of this vein

rotobracca의 댓글

I managed to mine a Scarlet Ruby which suprised me from howling fjord, there seems to be few there at the moment so im going to be trying Zul'Drak seems like the best place to mine this :)

At the top of this page is says that Zul'Drak has more colbat deposits. Well I was circling the area for about 2 hours and only found 4 cobalt, 1 saronite, no rich cobalt. So I assume this area is heavily farmed, because I was using guides to find the best route.

I then went to Howling Fjord and found over 55 cobalt ore in one circle of the map. I just followed the mountain range and did not go off into the middle areas. Then I went back to Zul'Drak at 3AM server time and only two people were in the zone (both were not miners) and I found maybe.. one more deposit.

In conclusion, I recommend Howling Fjord if you want to farm cobalt ore during any time of the day. Obviously it will vary by server, but I came across way more nodes in fjord, way closer together. Follow the mountain range, go into the excavation site, etc.

KudlaMaster의 댓글

Between this and Rich Cobalt Deposit you can get your mining to 450 without ever having to touch a saronite node.

Darkscar의 댓글

There's this mine node in Zul'Drak that contains a bug. Co-ordinates are 14.8 76.2

It cannot be mined, meaning that the mining cursor will not activate when hovered above it. If you come into contact with the mine, or stand over it, you will fall down throught the map.

Can anyone confirm this?

Cykotikone의 댓글

I've actually found Dragonblight to be the best area to farm Cobalt, it's barley farmed if at all and the route is very easy to follow. You basicly make circuits around the zone but take a detour to the Ruby Dragonshire after you go to the Azure Dragonshrine.

Just thought i would add my little contribution.

A full trip of Zul'Drak (Took around 25 minutes ish) Netted me.

58 Colbat Ore.
6 Crystallized Earth.
6 Crystallized Water
1 Autumn's Glow

All round. Nice and easy farming. Very little resistance from mobs and nice result for little work.

yeah, the best place for theese are indeed Zul'Drak , but if u are not the right lvl to go there and dont have a flying mount, it can be tricky, so i sugest if u canot make ur way there, go to Howling Fjord, its the next best place for them and much easier for 68-71 to get

Siluet의 댓글

I've managed to get into Zul'Drak with my 60lvl twink. I went to farm Manual: Heavy Frostweave Bandage. I have 377 mining skill Cobalt Deposit require 350.

When I wanted to loot one of deposits message appears: You are not high enough level

What is the respawn time of this?

after hours of farming in Borean Tundra i tried to farm in Zul'Drak and i found 10 deposits within literally 3 mins.

Levarus의 댓글

After about 2-3 hours of farming these, I got more Cobalt ore from Borean Tundra then Zul'drak, however alot of the nodes in zul'drak were saronite too, figured i might as well mention this.

bob72의 댓글

If you are a miner it's worth smelting this into bars as they sell for more.

BabyPuncher의 댓글

Blizzard has to have changed the spawn rate on these things, at least in Zul'Drak. I used to be able to get my hands on Cobalt with no issue but now the price is up over 100g/stack because it's almost impossible to come by. Maybe everyone was already aware of it or maybe no one cares but I find this really irritating as it's become difficult to level my blacksmithing now on my alt without a boat-load of cobalt.

424303의 댓글

I a also at the point in my Blacksmithing to were I need lots of this and can find hardly any in Zul'drak or Howling Ford I don't know what blizz has done but it would be nice to not have to pay 100g+ for older ore like Fel Iron and Cobalt when there seems to be more adamantite and Saronite around.

subby의 댓글

I have read here that since Cata was released that Cobalt Ore was becoming harder to find, I was lvling Engineering and Blacksmithing so I was not happy to hear this.

I used this addon to help me - GatherMate2 & the GatherMate2 database both downloaded from Curse. I used this instead of Gatherer because gatherer doesn't by default come with a database and the one they do supply is way way out of date.

I also googled quick "Mining 1-525 guide" this gave me a quick map of the Howling Fjord. (I farmed at about 10am servertime weekday)

I didn't miss even one node on this map (except underwater nodes), it took about 35-40 minutes to do 3 clean sweeps in the time I also killed 3 rares which was nice :D

277 Cobalt ore
64 Crystalized Earth
45 Crystalized Water
64 Frostweave Cloth
1 Scarlet Ruby
2 Huge Citrine
2 Shadow Crystal
1 부화 담요
1 영혼이 봉인된 허리띠
1 늑대인간이 새겨진 수갑
Plus 70 gold

So to sum up, I don't think it's that bad really, it's not thorium ore in Ungoro but it's not bad.

I hope this helped ppl farming , if you got some hope from this please mark it up so others can see it.

Edited for spelling!

TL:DR!
Goto Howling Fjord for Cobalt Ore
(I just made 3 more runs, I got 316 ore this time, so the amount is consistant, I was there at around 4pm servertime, weekday.)

Zul'Drak = the worst place to farm cobalt veins...There is a lot of veins on the map, but the rate of pop is really, really low

793775의 댓글

they've nerfed this entire area and its almost impossible to find any cobalt in the region of Northerend. DO NOT GO HERE~~~I wasted a good 15 min fling around and I found a single node inside a body of water....

Sometimes I wonder wtf these people are talking about, getting 100+ ore per run. I was just over in Howling Fjord for about 2 hours flying around from the path into grizzly hills the southeastern corner and up into Giants run and only got about 12-18 nodes. Didn't get much better over in the tundra either.

Going back for another go since I have a couple more hours to kill. Was hoping to be done with cobalt this morning and moving on to something else.

Its tough to mine anymore. cross realm means more people mining, less chance for botters getting caught, etc. Took me 3 days of mining to get out of BC ores and into WotLK ores. Bring your patience hat people.

xaan1의 댓글

seems about like it was pre-CR , at least during the day mining , 1 lap got me 38 ores in Borean Tundra , not stacks , 38 single ores , i suggest getting the Gnomish Army Knife it gives you +10 to mining , that way when your only 340 mining you can still mine cobalt , you cannot smelt till 350 , but you can at least mine it at 340 , same with all the levels , you can go there 10 levels early , sure saves some time , good luck !

Just noticed that cobalt deposit requires level 65 to mine, and smelting it (currently toon is at 379) and it's grey.

restopresto의 댓글

Much better drop rate in the borean tundra vs zul'drak on 6/17/2013. While both were at least respectable, the Tundra really made me bags swell!

Kate452의 댓글

Howling Fjord is the way to go for farming Cobalt.

First I went to Borean Tundra and almost got 2.5 stacks in 30 mins. I only saw 1 other miner. Then I went to Zul'Drak and only got 12 ores in 20 mins. I didn't see another miner there. Lastly, I went to Howling Fjord. Even with 2 other miners, I got 9 stacks in 30 mins.

My Route

The place I go when I need a lot of Cobalt Ore is Grizzly Hills. The route I take is quick enough that you can get back to your starting point as the nodes respawn (which minimizes the chances of other people taking your nodes). As long as you're level 80+, you shouldn't aggro anything either.

Aggroculture의 댓글

Just tried Mining some Cobalt on my lvl 60 pally, in order to raise my mining skill from 340 to 350.
With a Mining Pick in my bag my skill is buffed from 340 to 350 so should allow me to mine these nodes, although once i made my way to Howling Fjord and found my first node, on scroll over it reads that it requires 350 mining (which I knew) and REQUIRES LVL 65!
Not sure if this has always been the case or if it was a change I missed at some pt.

Once you reach skill 340 you have to do mining in order to raise your skill (unless you have the mats and recipe to smelt 10x Enchanted Elementium Bars), once you hit 350 you can smelt cobalt to raise your skill higher.

Zul'Drak (207)? It is currently possible to get the Exploration achievement and see (0) deposits. :(

Dedmeett의 댓글

My second least favorite ore to gather(first being Fel Iron) people like to stick to zones with farming so my strategy: simple, cross zones. Starting in Howling Fjord, zig-zag around up to Grizzly hills, Zul Furak, then Dragonblight, and over to Borean Tundra. This shouild get you about 100 ores.
Return route,(trying not to repeat recently covered terrain) should net another 80-100. For the 5 toons I've leveled profs and gathered this for, this usually keeps me separated from the botters and farmers, usually.

Simply put, Howling Fjord is a nonstarter for this grind -- it's over-farmed, and the node placement in certain areas is all over the place. Similarly, both Dragonblight and Grizzly Hills have wide areas that you'll need to fly over (on any routing) that just don't have veins. As a farmer (or someone, like me, who is attempting to grind through engineering for what feels like the thousandth time), your objective is clear: you want to minimize the amount of 'dead zone' you're covering on any route.

After trial-and-error, I can say without reserve that on heavily populated servers, Borean Tundra is the best place to grind this one out. This routing map (not my own work) gives you the general idea of your loop, though I'd advise people to cut out the portion over Coldarra because it's A) a hassle to get up to, and B) has inconsistent spawns.

You should still expect several hours of work to net 200+ ore, but there's no way around this, other than paying outrageous AH prices.

'Requires Level 65' Should also be added to this object on wowhead.

map not working on 4.3.4 :( ...

WokkaD의 댓글

To get complete ore (rather than nuggets) from the Cobalt Deposit, you still need :
350 Mining skill for the Cobalt Deposit or
400 Mining skill for the Rich Cobalt Deposit

★ Borean Tundra ★
This is a contested zone.

The downside to this zone is the fact that the ore is so spread out from one another. On top of that, some ore will be at the bottom of the sea, which is a good distance to dive.

Cobalt Ore – 146

★ Howling Fjord ★
This is a contested zone.

I love the background music in this zone while I'm farming. But one of its flaws (the zone, not the music), are the mountains. You can be flying from one are to the next without any ore in sight. However, that doesn't mean the zone doesn't offer ore in various clusters.

Cobalt Ore – 168

★ Zul'Drak ★
This is a contested zone.

While this zone has the ore bunched closer together, I wasn't able to get as much Cobalt as I would've liked. Keep in mind though, due to the simple nature of the zone and how close these nodes are, you're liable to have competition.

Cobalt Ore – 127
