Overview
Copper Ore is a refinement material in Crimson Desert used at the Blacksmith to upgrade weapons, plate armor, metal shields, and jewelry. Copper is slightly more versatile than Iron Ore because it also feeds into jewelry refinements. Like Iron, Copper deposits cluster most abundantly in the Hernand region, particularly along cliffs and mountain walls near river areas.
How to Obtain
Copper Ore is gathered by striking ore deposits with a Pickaxe (bought at the Provisioner's Shop in Hernand) or by using the Force Palm Attack. Each deposit contains up to 6 Copper Ore pieces.
Deposit Locations
Hernand Region
The largest concentration of Copper Ore. Approximately 13 deposits sit along the river cliffs in the Hernand area. These deposits are positioned closely together, making the Hernand cliffs the best farming route for Copper.
Demeniss Region
Copper deposits appear near the Nas River area in Demeniss. The deposits here are more spread out than Hernand but still accessible along the riverbanks and surrounding hills.
Delesyia Region
Copper can be found in the Gorthak area of Delesyia. Deposits are scattered across the rocky terrain in this zone.
Crimson Desert Region
Deposits are available near Tashkalp town. The desert cliffs around Tashkalp contain a handful of Copper Ore veins.
Location Summary
Region | Specific Area | Approximate Deposits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
River cliffs | ~13 | Densest cluster; best farming route | |
Nas River area | Several | Spread along riverbanks and hills | |
Gorthak | Several | Rocky terrain deposits | |
Crimson Desert | A few | Desert cliff-side veins |
Uses
Copper Ore is used at the Blacksmith for refinement of:
Weapons: swords, axes, spears, and other melee/ranged weapons
Plate Armor: metal chest and leg pieces
Metal Shields: all non-wooden shield types
Jewelry: rings, necklaces, and other accessories
Tips
Copper and Iron deposits often appear in the same areas, so you can farm both ores on the same route through the Hernand cliffs.
Because Copper is used for jewelry in addition to weapons and armor, you may burn through it faster than Iron. Prioritize farming if you plan to upgrade accessories.
Each deposit yields up to 6 pieces. With 13 deposits in Hernand alone, a single farming loop can yield around 60 to 70 Copper Ore.
