Tin and copper ore are essential early on for crafting better gear, and knowing where to look can save you a lot of time. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly where to find both tin and copper in the Fractured Plains, the third major area in the Dragonwilds, along with what tools you’ll need to start mining.
Tin Location in Runescape Dragonwilds
You’ll find tin ore nodes scattered around the Fractured Plains this is the third major area in Dragonwilds, right after Brammo Valley and Whispering Swamp. Once you’re in the Fractured Plains, just keep an eye out for shiny ore spots. Tin tends to respawn after a bit, so if you don’t see any right away, give it a moment and look again.
To mine the nodes, you’ll need the Bone Pickaxe, which is an upgraded version of the regular pickaxe. You can craft it using leather and bone. Once you’ve got that equipped, you’ll be able to break apart ore nodes and collect tin with no problem.
Copper Location in Runescape Dragonwilds
Now for copper, it’s found in the same general area as tin. You might need to wander around a bit to spot it, but it’s definitely nearby. If you’re unsure what you’re looking at, just hover over the ore node, and the name will pop up to let you know if it’s tin or copper.
One notable copper spot is near a ledge you can jump down from. Keep your eyes peeled for a bigger, chunkier-looking node that’s your copper ore. Just like tin, break it up and harvest the pieces. Once you’ve gathered your ore, you can take it back to base and start crafting stronger weapons and armor, so it’s definitely worth stocking up early on.
