The Copper Rush
The Copper Rush counts each time you break a copper vein with a pickaxe. It is a Smithing inspiration, and its first two levels are free. Each break also gives 3 Copper Nuggets, the copper for Bronze Ingots, and 2 red tech points.
The vein never runs out. When you break it, it drops its nuggets and is whole again a moment later, so the count can go all the way to the last level in the demo. The game files place one vein at the edge of your garden (Unconfirmed: that it can be reached has not been checked in the game).
What counts
| Do | What | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Break | Copper vein | Garden |
Levels
| # | Name | Total needed | Faith | Talent exp. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Copper Rush I | 3 | free | 1 |
| 2 | The Copper Rush II | 10 | free | 1 |
| 3 | The Copper Rush III | 25 | 1 | 1 |
| 4 | The Copper Rush IV | 50 | 3 | 1 |
| 5 | The Copper Rush V | 100 | 10 | 1 |
| 6 | The Copper Rush VI | 250 | 20 | 2 |
Totals are counted from the start, not per level. Buying a level costs Faith from your backpack and gives talent experience; see Talents and Inspirations.
Notes
- It needs Smithing mastery 2, not Building. The pickaxe you swing adds to Building, but the vein checks Smithing. The Rusty Hammer on your toolbar gives Smithing 1, so you need one more point: the first Smithing node on the talent tree or a Bronze Hammer.
- What limits it is energy and Faith. All six levels need 250 breaks and 34 Faith in total, and a sermon gives at most 6 Faith a week in the demo.
