'''Copper''' is a [[metal]] used in a large number of alloys. It is also one of the least valuable of the [[metal]]s. [[Weapon]]s made out of it do mediocre damage (66%) compared to [[Iron]]; similarly, [[armor]]s have mediocre defense (66%). It may be best to use copper to smelt more valuable alloys rather than making weapons and armors. Of course if you don't have wide access to better metals, copper is still a fine metal to use. Copper weapons are the next best training weapons if you don't have access to [[silver]] and can't trade with the [[elves]] for [[wood]]en weapons.

When mixed with other metals to form an [[metal|alloy]], the resulting material has the following [[Value#Material_multipliers|material value multiplier]]; since copper has a MVM of 2, this is an overall gain, as the total number of bars of material used equals the number created:
