Completing All Copper Ore Locations in RuneScape: Dragonwilds

When you first obtain a Pickaxe in Runescape: Dragonwilds, you’ll notice that it doesn’t inflict much damage on the nodes, making it quite slow to gather materials from the stone boulders. To speed up your collection and improve your gear, one effective strategy is to search for Copper ore in order to craft Bronze Bars.

Although Copper ore is considered a basic resource for mid-game players, you’ll need to progress to the fourth biome to access it. In addition to Copper, you’ll also have to gather some Tin if you want to make use of the ore.

Where to Find Copper Ore

To gather Copper in Runescape: Dragonwilds, you must reach the Fractured Plains biome. It’s the fourth biome following the Whispering Swamp, and you can easily spot it due to its pink grass. This large area is filled with Copper nodes.

Look for circular stone piles featuring orange ore to identify the nodes. You can mine these using the Rocksplosion ability or a Bone Pickaxe. Since the Copper nodes are spread out, it’s advisable to place some Lodestones to make future travels easier.

Once you have some Copper ore, you’ll also need to find Tin to create Bronze Bars, which will unlock a variety of new buildings, gear, and other useful items.

All Copper Ore Locations

While you can find Copper nodes throughout the Fractured Plains, there are specific locations where they are more concentrated:

• The best spot for sourcing Copper ore is the isolated area in the northeast, where a building appears on the map. You can collect a large amount of ore near the boundary after crossing the river.
• Head to the eastern edge of the central area to find Copper ore both at the edge and within a cave.
• Finally, there’s a significant amount of Copper on the western side of the biome, beyond the large purple river. Go to the northern section, and you’ll see many nodes there.
