Welcome to our Copper Ore Farming Guide. Copper Ore is the lowest level ore, commonly found in starting areas and lower-level zones. For efficient farming, this guide will point you to the best zones, which are slightly superior to their alternatives. Notably, Durotar is a prime location for Horde players with its cave structures housing multiple Copper Veins, while Alliance players will find Darkshore to be particularly abundant, with the potential of obtaining up to 200 Copper Ore in a single lap around the zone. Players below level 20 should simply mine in their current questing zone, where Copper Ore is also plentiful.
