Smelting

Copper Ore is smelted into Copper Bars at a forge, requiring a mining skill of 1 or more.

Copper Bars are used in the production of many items, including Bronze Bars.

Copper Ore can be prospected (consuming 5 ore) with a Jewelcrafting skill of 20 or more, resulting in:

•  [Shadowgem] (10%)

On average, slightly more than one gem is recovered per 5 ore consumed.
