Discover the best locations to farm Copper Ore in V Rising, including the Bandit Copper Mine and Farbane Woods. Learn how to refine it into ingots for essential gear.
Early in your V Rising journey, you'll need Copper Ore to craft better weapons and essential base structures. You'll need a weapon with at least Gear Level 6, ideally the Reinforced Bone Mace, to mine it.
The best places to find Copper Ore are the Bandit Copper Mine and Farbane Woods. The Bandit Copper Mine is a dedicated location dense with Copper Ore nodes but is highly contested in PvP. Farbane Woods offers passive accumulation of Copper Ore along roads and in hilly areas as you explore.
For a more precise approach, use the V Rising Interactive Map to plan your copper ore routes.
The Bandit Copper Mine
Located in the center of Farbane Woods, the Bandit Copper Mine is the easiest place to find Copper Ore nodes. Clear out the patrolling Poachers and Thieves outside before mining the nodes. Inside the mine, a circular path is littered with Copper Ore nodes. Be cautious of patrolling enemies, especially when playing solo at lower levels. Break open any boxes and barrels for additional drops and potential chests.
The mine has an upper and lower level, both containing Copper Ore nodes and chests. The lower level also features Errol the Stonebreaker, a Level 20 V Blood Carrier. If you're solo, you might consider avoiding this encounter and waiting for the upper-level nodes to respawn.
Resources at the Bandit Copper Mine typically respawn every 20 minutes, though this can vary.
Random Node Spawns
While less reliable than the mine, keep an eye out for Copper Ore nodes while traveling through Farbane Woods and Dunley Farmlands. These random spawns can add up over time.
Sending Servants on Hunts
Once you can craft Servant Coffins and build a Castle Throne, you can send Servants on resource-gathering missions. Equip them well and send them to the Copper Bandit Mine for a chance to receive over 600+ Copper Ore, depending on their traits.
What is Copper Ore Used For?
Copper Ore is refined into Copper Ingots using a Furnace. You'll unlock the Furnace recipe after establishing your Castle. Crafting it requires 480 Stone and 60 Copper Ore.
Building a Forge Room provides perks that decrease refining time and material costs. Consider building multiple Furnaces within this room to smelt materials simultaneously.
How to Get Copper Ingots
Place Copper Ore into your Furnace to smelt it into Ingots. Without Forge Room perks, it costs 20 Copper Ore per Ingot; with perks, it's reduced to 15.
How to Create Copper Equipment
With Copper Ingots, you can craft the Copper line of weapons and armor at a Simple Workbench, increasing your Gear Level and granting weapon abilities.
