As you would possibly count on from a pirate sport with ship-constructing components like Skull and Bones, valuable metals are an especially priceless commodity. Through the early sport of Skull and Bones, you may begin off with an amazing want for Iron, however that shortly turns into a requirement for Bronze, which is made through the use of Copper.
Bronze Ingots are a requirement in dozens of crafting recipes that pop up as you start to determine your self as a bonafide pirate. As such, you may must know the place to seek out Copper so you may harvest it. You will additionally must know what to do with it after you’ve got added the ore to your stock. Under, you may see precisely the place to seek out Copper in Skull and Bones.
Discovering Copper in Skull and Bones
There are a couple of completely different areas throughout the East Indies that let you mine Copper, however the most effective spot is simply south of the Sacred Tree outpost. The Sacred Tree is positioned alongside a slender canal close to the Hova Hill spot west of Sainte-Anne. South of the outpost, you may maintain following the canal to succeed in a buying and selling settlement and a few guard towers.
Round these guard towers, yow will discover a few Copper ore veins alongside the shoreline. One of many spots is on the proper aspect of the towers whereas the opposite is in between them on a small island. You possibly can see each areas within the map screenshot under:
Earlier than you begin mining the copper, you’ll have to personal a Pickaxe I. That is made on the Carpenter’s store in Sainte-Anne for two Torn Sails and one Damaged Plank. After you have your Pickaxe, you may go as much as a Copper ore vein, which is indicated by shiny rocks alongside the shore, and press the “Harvest” button that seems on the display screen.
This results in a small mini-sport the place it’s worthwhile to press a button when your pickaxe lands within the inexperienced zone. Nonetheless, I counsel simply turning on the “Auto-Harvest” choice within the settings, as this makes harvesting a lot sooner and eliminates the mini-sport altogether. Sadly, this does imply you get fewer sources. If you’d like the true Skull and Bones expertise, you may depart Auto-Harvest off and loot your supplies the outdated-long-established manner.
In any case, when you’re completed mining a Copper ore vein, test to see if there are any extra close to the one simply mined. If there aren’t, then attempt to discover one other or just head again to Sainte-Anne to take your new Copper Ore deposits and flip them into Bronze Ingots on the Refinery store.
The Refinery makes Copper Ore into Bronze Ingots for a small price. You possibly can have the Refinery make as many Bronze Ingots as attainable (three Copper makes one ingot) and as soon as they’re completed, you may loot the completed ingots from the “Completed Items” tab within the Refinery menu.
If you wish to make a brand new ship or craft some new blueprints, you may want fairly a hefty quantity of Copper and Bronze Ingots, so I like to recommend making a number of journeys to the ore veins south of the Sacred Tree.
