How to get Copper in Skull and Bones

Copper isn't found as abundantly as other resources like Bog Iron, so you'll need to look for them in specific areas. There are a few Copper nodes that you can find in the early game, and we'll take you through where they are.

Primarily, Copper deposits can be found south of the Sacred Tree Outpost, situated on the Red Isle. This location lies west of Saint-Anne and east of the Coast of Africa, accessible through a series of narrow rivers.

You can identify the nodes as small brown rocks, shimmering with a telltale shine when they are ripe for mining. These nodes will periodically respawn, so you can make a note to return when you need more of the material.

To harvest Copper, you'll need to craft a Pickaxe at the Carpenter's workshop, which is in the town center of Saint-Anne. A Pickaxe I suffices for mining Copper and can be crafted using 2 Torn Sails and 1 Broken Plank.

Now that you have a Pickaxe, you can approach a Copper node. This prompts an interaction option, where you can select Harvest. A mini-game will begin, where you'll need to stop a moving line within a designated green area. Make sure to stop in green, as stopping in the yellow zone yields fewer resources from the node.

When looking for new Copper nodes, hit K on your keyboard to open the Knowledge window, which contains the Codex tab. Here, you can find details of where to find raw materials, including Copper.

If you want to get a steady supply of Copper even without actively playing the game, you can turn on the Auto Harvest feature in Settings. Note that this will yield fewer resources than you would get if you mine the Copper yourself.

That concludes our guide on where to find Copper in Skull and Bones. If you're still considering whether you should purchase the game, check out the Skull and Bones system requirements if your device is up for running the game. Also, find out whether Skull and Bones is on Game Pass.
