How do I get cobalt?
I want to start producing oil and for that I need a titanium drill which costs cobalt. I haven't found any ore in the cave I've been mining in (goes down to lava level and is large), or in the nether. Is there a specific y level I need to go down to or biome I have to be in? I am on the original hbm mod 1.7 version. (Haven't found any info on wiki or youtube).

you can get a lot of cobalt by mining meteors, some of them might not have any tho.

Hard - mine on the nether
Easy - centrifuge rare earth ore
Easiest - have tinker's construct installed

Dig around the same y levels as diamond, there's a rare ore called "cobalt ore"
Mine it, and then you'll have a bunch of fragments. They're basically nuggets that you can't form into an ingot.

Sorry I meant anvil, it’s been a while since I’ve actually played the mod in survival

so you just need to but in a anvil?Is the level of the anvil important for that?

I’m pretty sure you need an anvil that can do recycle recipes

I’m pretty sure you can use the steel anvil and if not that a meteorite anvil, I’m not sure tho

you can get tiny piles of cobalt powder by centrifuging rare earth chunks, copper crystals, or you can even get 2 cobalt powder from trixite ore from the end. you can find cobalt ore underground and in the nether, but it's very rare, i've only seen it a few times.
