Copper Ingot

Copper Ingot is the first refined metal available in Windrose, produced by smelting raw Copper Ore at the Smelting Furnace. It represents a major milestone in early-game progression, unlocking access to metal tools, weapons, and advanced crafting stations that wooden and stone equivalents simply cannot match.

To produce Copper Ingots, load 6 Copper Ore and 1 Charcoal into a Smelting Furnace. The furnace will process the materials over a short period and yield one ingot. Since the ore-to-ingot ratio is steep, plan multiple mining trips to Copper Caves before committing to a large smelting session.

Copper Ingots are used in crafting copper-tier weapons and tools, producing Nails (1 Copper Ingot yields 5 Nails at the Workbench), and building the Copper Pot (5 Copper Ingot + 5 Wood). They also appear in various station construction and upgrade recipes, making them one of the most versatile early-game processed resources.
