Learn the best ways to gather Copper Ore in My Time at Sandrock! Discover mining spots in the Abandoned Ruins and where to buy it if you're in a pinch.
Hey there, Builder! Need to get your hands on some Copper Ore for all those crucial early-game builds? Don't worry, it's actually one of the easiest materials to snag in My Time at Sandrock. I'll walk you through exactly where to find it!
How to Mine Copper Ore:
First things first, you won't be able to just waltz into the best mining spots right away. You'll need to complete the main quest called 'Picking Up the Slack'. This is the one where you build that super handy Crane Lift. Once that's done, you'll unlock the Abandoned Ruins.
The great news is that Copper Ore is literally everywhere in the Abandoned Ruins. You can find it on every single level, right from the very first one! So, as soon as you get access, you can start stocking up. You'll get the most ore by mining the big, chunky Copper Crystals you'll see scattered around. But hey, even smashing through the blue-brown debris that blocks your paths will net you some extra ore, so keep an eye out for those too!
Purchasing Copper Ore:
If you're short on time or just don't feel like mining, there's a backup plan. You can head over to the Eufaula Salvage Shop and buy Copper Ore directly. It usually costs around 4 Gols per piece. Just a heads-up, though: the prices in Sandrock can change pretty often, so that 4 Gol price might hop around a bit depending on the day.
- Focus on mining the large Copper Crystals in the Abandoned Ruins for the best yield.
- Don't ignore the debris blocking paths; it's a small but steady source of ore.
- Keep an eye on the prices at Eufaula Salvage if you plan on buying ore regularly.
