Copper Ore is mined from ore clusters in the Revelwood; it cannot be crafted, and no creature drops it. Its item text reads, “A common ore needed to create Copper Bars.”
Quick answer: Head to the Revelwood, spot the lumpy, rust-colored deposits on cliff sides and exposed rock, then mine them with a pickaxe. You’ll get Stone as well as Copper Ore from each cluster.
Where Copper Ore spawns in the Revelwood
Revelwood, the dark forest zone, is where Copper Ore can be extracted. Deposits cling to exposed stone and cliff walls among the trees. Their uneven, reddish-brown surfaces distinguish them from ordinary grey stone.
The Revelwood has two Scavenger copper mines, both shown on your map.

- Glimmer Rock Mine
How to mine Copper Ore
As the cluster breaks, the pickups show Copper Ore alongside some Stone, for example “Copper Ore +7”.
How to make Copper Bars
Copper Ore is a raw material. To use it in most recipes you smelt it into Copper Bars, and you have two stations for that job.
| Station | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Smelter | 10 Charcoal + 10 Copper Ore | 10 Copper Bars |
| Blast Furnace | 20 Coal + 20 Copper Ore | 20 Copper Bars |
Build the Smelter at the Blacksmith with 1 Crucible and 50 Fired Bricks. The Blacksmith’s quest “Crucible Needed For A Smelter” sends you back to Revelwood, where Scavengers keep his former Crucible at their mine. Separate guides cover producing Charcoal in the Charcoal Kiln for the Smelter and finding Coal for the Blast Furnace.
