Methods to Farm Copper Keys
- Crafting
One of the most reliable techniques to make a Copper Key would be through the Key Casting Table, which needs five copper bars. If you do not have a Key Casting Table, then you can make one at your Iron Workbench using 10 Planks and 8 Iron Bars.
You get Copper Bars by smelting Copper Ores in a Furnace, which you can craft at the Basic Workbench with 20 Dirt Walls. Use a good pickaxe like the Soul Seeker to break down walls efficiently to collect stuff.- Fishing
Another way to obtain Copper Keys is through fishing in the water bodies found in the Dirt Biome. While the chances of finding a Copper Key by fishing are rather low, it still is an item that can be fished out as a rare reward. Continue fishing in these waters to increase your chances of finding one that has a Copper Key inside.- Looting
