You Better Level Blacksmithing Fast
The Reinforced Cobalt Chestpiece is one of the staples of leveling the Blacksmithing profession from 375 to 420. As it currently stands, you only need four Cobalt Bars to make one of these and they sell pretty well on the Auction House. I say “as it currently stands” because in patch 3.0.8 they’re bumping the materials cost on this to eight Cobalt Bars and two Crystallized Waters. That’s way more than twice the previous cost.
If you’re trying to level your Blacksmithing and are in the 375 range I highly suggest you hustle over to Sholazar Basin and starting grinding for the Plans for this item before the next patch is released. It’s dropped by the Venture Company Excavators milling around the Suntouched Pillar that is slightly northeast of Nesingwary’s Base Camp.
The drop rate on the plans wasn’t all that great for me. It was quite a struggle picking this up with my Level 70 Death Knight. I bet I had to kill close to 30 of the Excavators before it dropped.

Thank you for this information! I’ve been making a killing on these breastplates and I QQ’ed a little when I read your post. I guess I’ll have to find a new money-making venture that doesn’t require farming a ton of mats. :P
