In the popular game World of Warcraft, its creators provide for a sufficiently large number of diverse professions. One of the most popular among them all is mining. This profession is perfect for blacksmiths, jewelers and engineers as an extra. At the same time, the materials extracted with its help are often necessary for almost everyone.
The development of mining skills is fairly quick. The developers of the game made sure that the representatives of this profession did not have to spend hours searching for the required deposit. However, at a certain stage, one still has to face similar difficulties. This is due to the fact that among those materials that are mined using mining, there are also those that are in constant shortage. One of them is cobalt ore. It would seem that the developers have established a sufficiently large number of deposits of this type, but players are constantly experiencing a shortage of this valuable resource.
As noted earlier, cobalt ore is found only in the territory of Northrend. Most of its deposits are located in the open spaces of the initial locations of this northern continent. So, in the Borean Tundra 132 rich veins of this material. There are 146 in the Howling Fjord, and 165 at all in Zul'Drak.
In WoW, cobalt ore, like all other materials, is a renewable source of resources. After a certain period of time, the deposits appear in the same place where they were previously. So for those who have been playing WoW for a long time, it's easy to find them. It is not recommended to try to collect this material in the Storm Peaks and Crystal Song Forest, as there are only 4 and 2 deposits of this mineral, respectively.
The main use of cobalt ore in WoW is the smelting of the corresponding ingots from it. To do this, you must be near the horn. In the future, a variety of things are made from them. No less common is the spraying of this material. This procedure is carried out by jewelers. As a result, cobalt ore (5 pieces) disappears from the inventory, and in a new window appears what was found during sifting. Most often it turns out to find gems.
Such widespread use of this material is caused by the fact that cobalt ore is found less often than others. WoW at the same time gives players the opportunity not to spend their personal time searching for the necessary deposits. In the largest cities of the Alliance and the Horde, as well as in some neutral regions (Gadgetzan and Pirate Bay), auctions are located where some characters can put this or that product, including cobalt ore, for sale, while others get the opportunity to purchase it. It should be noted that due to the scarcity of cobalt ore, its cost is often quite high. So the purchase of all the necessary materials can cost a pretty penny. However, without them, it will not be possible to create some things that even the most advanced players need.
It should also be remembered that cobalt ore can only be mined by those characters whose mining skill is equal to or greater than 350.
