How to get Smelted from Stone + Coal

Copper Ingot is a low-tier crafting material created by smelting Stone and Coal at any furnace — there is no copper ore item in Kintara; Stone is the copper-smelting ore. Copper Ingots are used to forge basic tools — the first weapons and gathering equipment new players craft after collecting starter gear.

Copper Ingots represent the entry point into the crafting system and the beginning of gear progression.

Smelting

Stone and Coal are smelted into Copper Ingots at any furnace (Frostmere or Dunes West). No Smithing level required to smelt. Smelts are priced per ingot, with a ×1/×5/×10 batch selector.

Input Output XP Time
10 Stone + 5 Coal 1 Copper Ingot 10 XP ~1 second per ingot

A ×10 batch consumes 100 Stone + 50 Coal for 10 ingots and 100 XP. Smelting is paced at roughly a second per ingot.

Uses

Copper Ingots are used exclusively for low-tier tool crafting:

Item Cost Smithing req Notes
Copper Sword 25 ingots + 600 Wood 3 Starter melee weapon — hits for 23
Copper Axe 20 ingots + 400 Wood 0 Starter gathering tool — swings 5% faster
Copper Pickaxe 28 ingots + 850 Wood 7 Starter mining tool — swings 5% faster

The +5% copper bonus is swing speed — copper tools gather the same 1 resource per hit as every other tier. Copper gear has no armor tier — armor progression begins at Iron.

Crafting Progression

Copper Ingots are the lowest tier in the crafting hierarchy:

Tier Ingot Smelting cost (per ingot) Tool Smithing req Armor Smithing req Swing-speed bonus
Low Copper Ingot 10 Stone + 5 Coal 0–7 N/A +5%
Mid Iron Ingot 6 Iron Ore + 6 Coal 10–17 14–20 +10%
High Silver Ingot 4 Silver Ore + 8 Coal 20–27 24–30 +15%

Copper tools are the fastest to craft and provide the smallest boost. They're a stepping stone toward better gear.

Sourcing the materials

Copper Ingots smelt from ordinary Stone and Coal:

Material Where Requirement
Stone Wilderness rocks None — no Mining level gate
Coal Wilderness coal-bearing rocks None

Because the inputs have no level gate, you can work toward Copper Ingots immediately after reaching the Wilderness.

Repair Costs

Copper tools can be repaired at any blacksmith (Grimjaw in Frostmere, Harun in Dunes West):

Repair scenario Ingot cost Notes
50% durability loss ~60% of craft cost (scaled) Cost scales to damage taken
100% durability loss (broken) Full craft cost Repair first before trading/selling

Minimum repair cost is 1 ingot. Damaged gear cannot be traded or listed on the marketplace — you must repair it first.

Stack Size

Copper Ingots stack up to **10,000** in a single inventory slot. Early-game players can craft large batches without inventory issues.

Progression Path

Copper Ingots mark the beginning of the crafting journey:

1. **Gather Stone and Coal** (no level requirement) 2. **Smelt into Copper Ingots** (no Smithing requirement) 3. **Craft Copper tools** (Smithing 0–7) 4. **Progress to Iron Ore** (Mining 5, in Frostmere) 5. **Eventually reach Silver Ore** (Mining 20, in The Dunes)

Most players spend a brief time with Copper gear before upgrading to Iron.
