How to get	Smelted from Copper Ore + Coal

Copper Ingot is a low-tier crafting material created by smelting Copper Ore and Coal at any furnace. 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

Copper Ore is smelted into Copper Ingots at any furnace (Frostmere or Dunes West). No Smithing level required to smelt.

Input	Output	XP	Time
60 Copper Ore + 60 Coal	10 Copper Ingot	220 XP	Instant

Each smelt yields 10 ingots instantly. No cooldown between smelts.

Uses

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

Item	Ingots required	Smithing req	Notes
Copper Sword	250	0	Starter melee weapon — 20 base damage
Copper Axe	250	0	Starter gathering tool — 5% speed bonus
Copper Pickaxe	250	0	Starter mining tool — 5% speed bonus

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	Tool Smithing req	Armor Smithing req	Speed bonus
Low	Copper Ingot	60 Copper Ore + 60 Coal	0–7	N/A	+5%
Mid	Iron Ingot	60 Iron Ore + 60 Coal	10–17	14–20	+10%
High	Silver Ingot	60 Silver Ore + 60 Coal	20–27	24–30	+15%

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

Sourcing Copper Ore

To create Copper Ingots, you need Copper Ore:

Location	Requirement	Notes
Wilderness	None (0)	Primary gathering location (no level gate)
Frostmere	None (0)	Secondary location; cold biome

Copper Ore is the only ore with no Mining level requirement. You can gather it 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 Copper Ore** (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) 5. **Eventually reach Silver Ore** (Mining 20)

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