Cobalt blue is an Archaeological material that can be obtained through excavating material caches or various excavation sites, requiring level 48 Archaeology, at various dig sites around RuneScape.

Cobalt blue is required to restore various artefacts. As players increase their Archaeology level and use higher tier mattocks, they are able to excavate cobalt blue at quicker rates.

Cobalt blue, like other Archaeology materials, can be stored in the material storage container. An unlimited amount of cobalt blue can be stored in the material storage container.
