Mine resources
Mine Copper
Copper from the early Mines supports progression and tool work, helping improve the farm and access deeper mine routes.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Mine Copper
Shallow elevator floors in the Mines beneath Mistria, after the town-rank and story unlock.
Before you go
- Mines access through the town-rank/story progression.
- Pickaxe, food, and combat supplies appropriate to the floors you can reach.
- Inventory space for ore and any artifacts or other finds.
Farming steps
- Before leaving, check which tool or mine progression needs copper and keep that amount in storage.
- Enter the Mines and use the elevator to reach an available shallow floor.
- Break visible copper nodes with the pickaxe, collecting the ore and noting any hazards or blocked paths.
- Explore enough of the floor to locate its exit or elevator access instead of spending the whole run on one node cluster.
- Descend through reachable floors while stamina, health, and time remain manageable.
- Use available town processing or the appropriate crafting route for copper you need in an upgrade.
- On a later visit, take the elevator back to an opened floor band and collect additional copper.
- Keep upgrade copper separate from surplus so a shipping decision does not delay tool progression.
- Food and a planned exit make a short productive run safer than pushing until resources are depleted.
Repeat, collect and use
Copper collection is repeatable on accessible mine floors. Each visit can replenish your stock; the useful target changes as tool and seal requirements are met.
Common mistakes
- Selling all copper can strand an upgrade; reserve the amount required by your next known goal.
- Pushing deeper without enough health or stamina risks losing the run; leave while you can still reach an exit.
- Breaking nodes without checking inventory space can waste a trip; make room before entering.
When to stop or switch
Stop farming copper when the next planned upgrade and progression needs are covered; move to the newly accessible ore band or spend the day on a different goal.
