You can slim it down further by heading to levels 30-39, where you will find eight copper rocks clumped together every eight floors. Floors 30 to 39 are also known as dark floors as the danger level increases and the risk gets higher.

There are a good amount of activities players can indulge themselves in after acquiring Copper. As they say, the Higher the reward, the more dangerous the situation gets, and the more your chances of getting out with better rewards increase. So, if you’re up to the challenge and can afford to be in sticky situations, then levels 30-39 are the levels you should aim for.

While there are some things you shouldn’t do with your Copper in Stardew Valley:

• Selling: Copper, at its lowest, is bought for 75g, and the prices only increase from thereon. The problem comes when you find out that if you want to sell copper, it’ll only sell for 5g. Nonetheless, you’ve got to work with it, and the best course of action is to store the copper. The only reason you should sell copper is when you’re desperate for money and don’t see any other way around it.
• Gifting: Giving back to the people in the community is great and all, but it all comes falling down when you realize that they themselves don’t want it. Yes, Copper is one of the only things that NPCs hate. So, it’s better to avoid giving them the present they hate.

Tips To Get More Copper

We have mentioned pretty much everything that you’ll need in your conquest to obtain Copper, but some things only come with experience. Players learn these tips as they play the game, but this is an excellent opportunity for newcomers to learn early and start better than others. 

Luck

Luck is an important factor in the game, so keeping an eye on it is important as well. Check your television every night and assess how much luck you normally have and when the right opportunity arrives, go mining. You may find more than what you normally get. Not only for just copper, but luck should be kept in check for other reasons as well. 

Getting Ready

Getting ready before heading out to mine for some copper is absolutely essential. You need to eat the right food, take the right things with you before departing, conserve energy, and check for your luck (as mentioned above). This is significant if you want more success in finding copper and any other thing in the mines.

Miner

When you reach level five in your mining skill, you’re presented with two professions; Miner and Geologist. We have talked about Best Stardew Valley Professions before, but for this specific instance, Miner is the right profession. Not only do you get double the amount of copper ore when you break the copper node, but you also save plenty of your time that would have been wasted searching for copper.
