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	Plain rocks in The Mine, The Pond, Whisperwood and the Wilderness	None — no Mining level gate
Coal	Dark-veined rocks in the same places	None

Because the inputs have no level gate and the rocks are in safe areas like The Mine, you can work toward Copper Ingots right away.

Repair Costs

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

Repair scenario	Cost	Notes
Partly worn	60% of the full craft cost, scaled to the durability missing	Charged in every recipe material — ingots and Wood — with a minimum of 1 of each. A half-worn item costs about 30% of its recipe.
0 durability	—	The item breaks and is destroyed, so repair it before it runs out

Worn gear can still be traded between players, but it can't be listed on the Marketplace until it is repaired to full durability.

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.
