The first task that you need to do is to take down the Eikthyr boss<\/a>. This boss will be found in your starting position on the map. It would be best if you took down this boss before you can start crafting metal weapons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copper is a naturally occurring resource in the game, and you need to smelt it to purify it before use. Pure copper is an essential ingredient for creating bronze and brass in the game. Copper is not found in the first biome that you will start playing in, the Meadows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will have to move towards a much more dangerous region called the Black Forest<\/a>. The Black Forest is near the Meadows; you can pick a direction on the maps and start running towards the forest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that you have found a copper deposit, you will be using your antler pickaxe to break it apart. This will take a while, but eventually, you will be able to obtain a good piece of copper ore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you mine, three things will fall out: the copper node, stone, and the copper ore. The copper ore will appear as a green chunk of rock. It would be best if you also kept an eye on the status bar while you mine. You would not want to degrade the status bar too much, or else you will need to fix the chunk on your workbench. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be careful while you mine on the hillside as these chunks might fall off the hill. It would be best to be cautious about the stone that might be accumulating and taking up your storage space. Make sure to discard the stone that gathers up as you collect copper. If you have reached the weight limit, remember that you will not be able to add copper to your inventory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An essential tip while mining copper would be to mine the lower portions of a copper deposit first. Once you have chipped the lower part, the upper portion will fall on its own. This will save you a lot of time and effort when you farm for copper. Some copper might also extend beneath the ground so you can dig up the roots and yield more copper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, make sure that the copper ore is not too heavy, as just carrying a few of them can hinder your movement. Some of them might even fall on the ground and roll away. <\/p>\n\n\n
You can farm efficiently with the help of a pickaxe. The more that you mind, the higher your pickaxe skill becomes and deals with more damage. As you continue mining the ore and digging up the ground, your pickaxe level will increase. The higher this level becomes, the easier it will get, and it will only take you a few hits to destroy all types of objects. You should hit the Copper Deposit\u2019s roots and see how deep the impact goes; this will also increase your pickaxe skill. <\/p>\n\n\n
The Antler Axe<\/a> is helpful for farming, but it can be time-consuming to farm with this axe. It is suggested that you craft a better pickaxe if you want to speed up the process. It is recommended that you focus on farming an entire deposit to get the maximum amount of Copper Ore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
