The Significance of Copper in Enshrouded
Copper offers numerous benefits in Enshrouded and is a critical mineral.
Crafting Purposes: Copper is useful for many key crafting recipes. It is needed in the crafting of Bronze Bars, which is a key ingredient in the crafting of mid-tier tools, weapons, and armour. It is also used directly in the crafting of some items, like the Copper Arrows, and for the Copper Pickaxe, which is a far better version than the very early game Stone Pickaxe.
Durability and Strength: Tools and weapons made of copper are more durable and hit harder than their stone counterparts. Upgrading to Copper equipment significantly enhances your combat capabilities and resource-gathering efficiency.
Barter with Merchants: Copper is a valuable commodity. Barter it with merchants all over the world for rare items, gear or ingredients you might have missed.
Mining for the Copper Treasure: From Whence Copper Ore Comes
Copper Ore: This unrefined form of Copper can be scavenged from a multitude of locations within the beautiful landscape of Embervale. The major locations where you may scavenge it from include:
Revelwood region: The lands of Revelwood, with its mountains, shrouded in mist — it's here where the masses of Copper deposits are found. The west face of the Revelwood Ancient Spire landmark is an ideal place for mining Copper. It is an area where, on easy soil, the plentiful veins of Copper Ore can be found, wedged in rough terrain.
The Copper Deposits of the Northern Territories As one advances and learns to cast the Flame Barrier dispelling all those in the way to the north, Copper Ore deposits dot the northern lands. Keep a vigilant eye for veins as you explore new lands.
Extracting the Copper Treasure: Mining Tips
Once you have found a Copper Ore vein, you mine it by:
Get a Pickaxe: You are going to need a strong Pickaxe to be able to mine Copper Ore. A Stone Pickaxe is okay to start with, just for doing basic, early-game mining. By the way, try to make for yourself an Iron or Starmetal pickaxe; you will get resources much more efficiently and faster.
Tap the vein. Approach the vein and activate it with your pickaxe. This will initiate the mining process in which you need to chip away Copper Ore until the ore gives way and you mine a piece.
Multiple Prospects: One Copper Ore vein may yield multiple Copper Ore before it is depleted. Keep on mining until you've got your bag all set.
Working with the Resource: Copper Ingot to Copper Bar
Copper Ore cannot be crafted straight from the mine into things; it will need to be refined into Copper Bars at a Charcoal Kiln. Here is a simplified version of the process:
- Build a Charcoal Kiln: Construct out of Stone, Dirt, and Wood. The conversion of Wood Logs to Charcoal can be done—it is the basic and most necessary component used for smelting Copper Ore.
- Smelt Copper: Now that you have a bit of Charcoal, interact with the Charcoal Kiln and select the option to smelt Copper Ore. It will take the Copper Ore along with the Charcoal and churn out some Copper Bars.
Although some vendors may sell Copper Bars in small quantities from time to time, this is not an assured source. These are still the most secure ways to get lots of Copper Bars: mining Copper Ore and smelting it yourself.
Currently, no alternate forms of acquiring Copper Ore are known to exist other than mining its veins.
The recipes do vastly vary in the Copper Bars required, some may take 1-2 for early game use, and some higher tier crafting could require 5+ Copper Bars per recipe.
The depleted veins will replenish the copper ore after some time, so you can work them again to get further copper ore.
Conclusion
Establishing Copper as the First Line Copper is a key base material for Enshrouded. It is essential to forge the necessary tools, weapons, and armour for players. It will give you a big step up on the early and mid-game by knowing where to find Copper Ore, how best to mine it, and how to turn it into smelted Copper Bars.
