I guess I'm looking at this from a crafters standpoint and not an adventurers standpoint
I'm not saying cobalt will win out. I am merely stating that there are materials already existent that could be, as has been alluded to earlier, a kind of equivalent to Kevlar. Either on its own, or bolstered by the melding of materia to it. And, as such, can serve at least somewhat as a defense against arms fire.
