I can’t craft a Cobalt Shield? WHY NOT??!!?!!!?
So… There’s this really great piece of equipment, right? It’s called the Cobalt Shield. It allows you to take damage without any knockback (for the lay-person, “Knockback” is when you are hit by something and you are pushed backwards by the hit). Now, that’s pretty awesome, mainly because it will allow you to keep your footing whilst in deep caverns, traversing lava filled areas, and when dealing with damaging floor tiles. Got it? OK!
My next point: There is a resource in the game, available after you enter Hard-Mode, called Cobalt. Cobalt is the lowest grade resource you can use for crafting weapons in Hard-Mode. So, naturally, it is quite abundant.
Here’s the rub, you can only find Cobalt Shields in treasure chests found in dungeons.
WHY!?!
It is quite clearly listed as COBALT Shield. If I have a bunch of cobalt sitting around, I should be able to make a Cobalt Shield. It looks like it would require maybe a single bar of gold to make the cross on the front, but other than that, it should definitely be possible. Now, if the designers really wanted to create something we couldn’t put our greedy little hands on easily, they should rename the item. Call it an Azure Shield and no one would question it at all and they wouldn’t have to change the image for it. If not, it should be craftable.

The items in the dungeon are made with a material known as “Enchanted Cobalt”. Therefore, it is not possible to craft these items with generic Cobalt.
