About Copper ore
"This needs refining."
Copper ore is a free-to-play Mining resource obtained at level 1 from copper rocks, granting 17.5 Mining experience per ore. It is smelted with tin ore to create bronze bars at Smithing level 1, making it the starter ingredient for all early-game Smithing training. Supply is dominated by new players and bots, keeping prices near the vendor value.

- High bot-generated supply keeps prices near vendor value
- Primary buyers are ironmen and new players training early Smithing
