 * '''Iron ore''': You get more iron ore than copper ore for a typical 3-stone combination. 4-stone combination doesn't yield much more than 3-stone combos.
 * '''Silver''': 3-stone combinations give 1 silver at first, but as the stones get used you will get higher yield. 4-stone combinations gives significantly more than 3-stone combos.
-* '''Cobalt''': 4-stone combination yields are actually much smaller than for 3-stone combinations, so stick with 3-stone combos.
