As with many resources in Palia, Copper Bars are a necessary item to make in the game to craft a wide variety of tools, such as the Standard Axe, Standard Arrows, and Homestead Wall Clocks. It is an incredibly versatile item, but cannot just be foraged in the wild.

In Palia, you will need to smelt your own Copper Bars, which will require you to first obtain Copper Ore, and make them into Copper Bars yourself. If you are unsure how to complete this process, we will show you everything you need to do to make some of your first Copper Bars.

How to Get Copper Ore in Palia

Image of Copper Ore in Palia

To make Copper Bars in Palia, you will first need to get some Copper Ore through mining. You can get Copper Ore with the basic Makeshift Pick, so you won't need to worry about leveling up your Mining skill first to get some Copper Ore.

We will show you a few places where you can easily mine some Copper Ore within Kilima, which will require you to break open some Copper Nodes using your Makeshift Pick.

Fisherman's Lagoon

To locate Fisherman's Lagoon, make your way to the southeastern section of the Kilima map. In this area, approach the small mountainsides to find small and medium-sized Copper Nodes. You should be able to find quite a few Copper Nodes around here surrounding the edges of the mountains.

Leafhopper Hills

Leafhopper Hills can be found in the southwestern portion of the Kilima map. Just south of the small town area in Leafhopper Hills, you will notice a few mountains. Circle around the edges of these, and you'll be able to find quite a few Copper Nodes.

How to Make Copper Bars in Palia

With a good amount of Copper Ore in your inventory, you can now get started on making them into Copper Bars. To do this, you will need to obtain the Basic Smelter, which you can craft at your Worktable. You can purchase the recipe for a Basic Smelter from Hodari after you reach Level 2 of Mining. It will specifically become available to you during the Brick by Brick quest, a main quest that you will get early on in the game.

Hodari can be found in Kilima, either within the Tavern, or heading back to Bahari Bay. He will usually be marked on your map if you can't seem to find him. The Basic Smelter will cost you 100 Gold. You can then build it at your Worktable by using:

  • 20 Stone
  • Six Flint
  • Three Sernuk Hide

Now, approach your Basic Smelter. To make one Copper Bar, you will need Five Copper Ore. Each Copper Bar will take a total of three minutes to smelt as well. This means it will most likely take you some time to make enough for the tool you are trying to make, such as a Standard Axe, which requires five Copper Bars.
