Where to find Copper and Tin in RuneScape Dragonwilds

If you’ve played either Old School RuneScape or RuneScape 3, you’ll know copper and tin are among the earliest resources you’ll obtain for making bronze armor. While you can buy gear at shops, RuneScape Dragonwilds requires you to make everything yourself.

How things work in RuneScape Dragonwilds is slightly different. You’ll start with basic stone tools and work your way up, using items like ores and animal bones to upgrade your gear. Here’s how to find copper and tin ore in RuneScape Dragonwilds for bronze tool upgrades.

Copper and Tin locations in RuneScape Dragonwilds

You can find copper and tin in abundance in the Fractured Plains. You’ll need at least a Bone Pickaxe to mine it, which you can craft at a crafting table after collecting animal bones, ash logs, and leather.

You can access Fractured Plains by heading north from Whispering Swamp. If you’re still in the early game, you’ll need to upgrade your gear enough to safely fight off the goblins of Bramblemead Valley and the enemies within the swamp before advancing this far.

Upon arriving in the Fractured Plains, you’ll find copper and tin ore nodes in abundance. Copper ore rocks have a gray and orange exterior, while tin has yellow-green splotches on its surface. They’re also noticeably larger than stone boulders and clay nodes, making them easy to differentiate from each other.

You won’t be able to find this much copper and tin anywhere else. Early-game areas have mostly stone and clay, while late-game regions have more advanced resources up for grabs. If making bronze equipment is your next goal, stick to this area and set up a small base for smelting.

How to make Bronze bars in RuneScape Dragonwilds

Once you have your copper and tin, you’ll need a furnace and smithing anvil to smelt and form bronze bars into tools and weapons. You’ll need both materials to make bronze, which you can toss inside the furnace, smelt for a few seconds, and use on a smithing anvil to make your tools or armor.

Like other RuneScape games, you can make bronze axes, weapons, shields, and armor, giving you plenty of options for improving your power level and combat skills.
