Frequently Asked Questions
How does Copper work in a forge recipe?
Include Copper as one of your 3 recipe slots. Its 1.2x multiplier stacks with your other two ores using the diminishing-returns formula (100% + 80% + 75%).
Is Copper worth farming?
For World 1 content and above, yes. Its 1.2x multiplier and utility trait make it a top pick. For early-game (World 1), you're better off with cheaper alternatives.
Can Copper be sold?
Yes, but it's usually not the best use. The forge value of Copper far exceeds its sell price. Save it for crafting unless you have a large surplus.
What weapons work best with Copper?
Fast weapons like Katanas and Daggers pair best with Copper's trait. Check the /weapons pages for detailed recommendations.
