Because both a pickaxe and a hammer are needed for effective mining (as opposed to panning or picking up surface bits), players will need to obtain 40 copper nuggets in total to properly enter the Copper Age. Copper anvils are capable of smithing Tier 3 metals, which includes all forms of bronze. However, copper anvils cannot be used to work Tier 4 and above metals, such as iron or steel. Therefore, in order to progress past the Copper Age into the Iron Age, players must fully master the use of bronze tools. | Because both a pickaxe and a hammer are needed for effective mining (as opposed to panning or picking up surface bits), players will need to obtain 40 copper nuggets in total to properly enter the Copper Age.
