In Modded Minecraft FTB HermitPack 1.10, the mod "Tinkers' Construct" adds both Cobalt Ore and Ardite Ore. According to the FTB Wiki, to mine these ores, you need a pickaxe "made with Alumite or Steel." However, none of these work:
- Alumite is not available in HermitPack
- Steel pickaxes have a mining level of "Obsidian," which is not strong enough to mine either of these ores
- Ardite/Cobalt/Manyullyn pickaxes are not available to me unless I've already mined Ardite/Cobalt ore
Is there any way to mine these ores or otherwise convert them into drops?

The Obsidian Pickaxe Head from Tinkers' Construct has a mining level of "Cobalt". So a pickaxe made with an Obsidian head is able to mine both Cobalt and Ardite. (At least in HermitPack 1.2.1)
Obsidian parts can be made in the part builder, for the record.
2Have you tried leveling up your tools?
More specifically, have you tried levelling up your Obsidian-level mining tools?
As part of Iguana Tweaks, when you level up your tool, you obtain a random improvement. One of those improvements increases your mining level, thus allow you to, for example, mine Iron with a Copper Pickaxe).
