Copper is one of the most important resources in Windrose because you need it to craft weapons and tools of almost all types. You also have to collect Copper Ores and craft Copper Ingots as task six of the Islander Tutorial. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get and use Copper in Windrose.
How to Get Copper in Windrose
Crafting a Stone Pickaxe
To be able to mine Copper Ores, you need to make yourself a Stone Pickaxe. Here is the recipe for crafting one at the Workbench:
- Stone Pickaxe: 3 Wood + 3 Stone
Locating the Copper Deposit Cave
Make your way to the Copper Deposit Cave with your Stone Pickaxe. Thes caves are ocated inside the Coastal Jungle, marked by the Pickaxe icon as shown in the image above. The entrance will look like a crack in the stone wall, where you’ll need to press E to enter. The cave will also be quite dark inside, so it can be helpful to have your Oil Lamp equipped or enough wood to build floor torches before you enter.
Mining Copper Ores
To mine Copper Ores, you simply have to hit the ore nodes with your Stone Pickaxe until they break. Make sure to empty your inventory before going to mine because your inventory slots fill up with ore quite quickly. You might also pick up Stones from breaking the nodes, which you can discard to collect more ore instead.
Crafting Copper Ingots
To make the Copper Ores into Ingots, you have to first construct a Charcoal Kiln and a Smelting Furnace. Both of the recipes call for Clay, so make sure to get some easily following our guide. Here is the recipe for crafting them using Build Mode:
- Charcoal Kiln: 20 Clay and 20 Wood
- Smelting Furnace: 15 Clay and 30 Stones
To get Copper Ingots, start by making Charcoal in the Charcoal Kiln. Putting 1 Wood in the kiln gives you 1 Charcoal and 1 Ash. Put the Charcoal along with 6 Copper Ores in the Smelting Furnace to get a Copper Ingot. Both processes are time-consuming, so we recommend building two or more kilns and furnaces to speed things up.
Using Copper Ingots
After obtaining the Copper Ingots, you can craft a variety of things from not only the Workbench, but also the Weaponsmith Workshop and Build Mode. From the Workbench, you can make the following recipes:
- Copper Bullets: 1 Copper Ingot (Makes 5 Bullets)
- Copper Nails: 1 Copper Ingot (Makes 5 Nails)
- Fast Travel Bell: 10 Copper Ingot + 3 Rope
- Copper Axe: 5 Copper Ingot + 5 Wood
- Copper Pickaxe: 5 Copper Ingot + 5 Wood
- Shovel: 3 Copper Ingot + 10 Wood
- Copper Pot: 5 Copper Ingot
As for the Weaponsmith Workshop, you can make the following weapons with these recipes:
- Club: 5 Copper Ingot + 10 Wood
- Rapier: 7 Copper Ingot + 2 Rough Hide
- Saber: 7 Copper Ingot + 2 Rough Hide
- Pistol: 5 Copper Ingot + 10 Wood
In Build Mode, you can make upgrades for the Workbench and the Cooking fire with the following items:
- Sawhorse: 10 Copper Ingot + 20 Wood
- Cutting Table: 2 Copper Ingot + 10 Wood
Now that you know how to get and use Copper in Windrose, you can send any Blackbeard Pirates you encounter to Davy Jones!
