How to Find Copper Ore in Luma Island

Luma Island puts players in a magical world full of secrets. There are numerous mysteries to uncover in the game, but that doesn’t mean you’re on a timer. You can play the game at your own pace as you help out the NPCs in the town, master different professions, and gradually build up your dream farm. Throughout your journey, you’ll craft many items and sell them in shops to make a profit that will help you grow your Farm.

Copper Ore is an essential crafting ingredient that you’ll need for a wide variety of recipes. However, players taking their first steps into the game might find it difficult to secure a steady supply of Copper Ore early on. That’s where we come in! In this guide, we’ll discuss all there’s to know about finding Copper Ore in Luma Island.

Luma Island: How To Fish

From crafting bait to casting your Fishing Rod, here’s everything you need to know about fishing in the cozy farming and management sim, Luma Island.

How to Find Copper Ore in Luma Island

Copper Ore can be found by mining Copper Ore nodes that spawn around the world of Luma Island. When you start the game, you’ll find two Copper Ore nodes right beside your trailer near the Abandoned Farm Cave entrance. While exploring the Farm area, you might also find a few more Copper Ore nodes if you’re lucky. However, since these nodes don’t respawn once mined, you’ll have a hard time locating other sources of Copper for your crafting recipes.

Copper Ore can be turned into Copper Ingots in the Ore Smelter, which are essential for building structures like the Fisherman’s Galley in

The quickest and easiest way to get some Copper Ore is to head into the Abandoned Farm Cave using the ladder near your Farm. The Cave has plenty of Copper Ore nodes that you can mine using your Copper Pickaxe.

However, what makes things tricky is that, apart from the initial area, the rest of the Cave is completely dark. If you stay in the dark for too long, you’ll die and have to restart from the Cave entrance. Thankfully, you don’t lose any of your items, but you still can’t really mine any Copper Ore. You’ll need to make some Farm Torches to navigate the Abandoned Farm Cave without dying. For that, you’ll have to buy the Simple Workbench Blueprint from Blathazar’s Drawing Shop in the Town outskirts.

The Simple Workbench requires 3x Farm Wood and 5x Twigs to build.

Luma Island: Where To Find All Tepid Offering Crystals

Tepid Offering Crystals are mysterious items you can find scattered around Luma Island. Here is where you can find them all and how to use them.

Once you build a Simple Workbench, you can craft Farm Torches from it. You can get 2 Torches from 1x Farm Wood and 1x Farm Resin, both of which are pretty easily available around the Farm. Stock up on at least 10 Farm Torches and head into the Abandoned Farm Cave. Place the Torches on the ground as you progress through the Cave, and you’ll come across plenty of Copper Ore nodes that you can mine to stock up on Copper Ore.

You can also mine Charcoal, Bronze, or other minerals in this Cave.

However, while mining, remember to keep track of your surroundings. If you stay inside the cave for too long, Spiders will start spawning that will attack you on sight. They can be killed using the Whip. However, since you aren’t likely to have your tools upgraded, they can be pretty hard to take down during the early hours of Luma Island.
