Moonlight Peaks Guide: Craft Copper Bars With Ore, Charcoal, and Furnace
To upgrade your chopping setup in Moonlight Peaks—including getting a better Axe for cutting through bigger logs—you’ll need Copper Bars. The catch is that Copper Bars require a few key ingredients: Copper Ore, Charcoal, and a Furnace. Here’s the clean route to get everything you need.
Release and platform status (from the provided text)
The excerpt you shared doesn’t include any release date, platform list, or edition details for Moonlight Peaks or the other game mentioned. It only provides in-game crafting and quest instructions.
Getting a Furnace in Moonlight Peaks
The Furnace isn’t something you can rush instantly in Moonlight Peaks. You’ll need to wait until about Night 7. After you wake up on that day, a Furnace Blueprint arrives in the mail. When you’re ready to craft it at your workstation, the recipe calls for 15 Copper Ore and 5 Refined Stone.
Refined Stone is made using a Refiner, so the Furnace steps naturally lead into building processing equipment. For Copper Ore, you’ll need access to the southern side of the map to reach the Cave of Echoes. Before you can clear the dark magic blocking the route, you must complete a main quest: “A Bridge Too Far.”
If you don’t own a Refiner yet, you’ll first need to help Ridge fix up your setup. You should give Ridge 50 pieces of Wood to repair your roof. After that’s handled, Ridge provides the crafting blueprint for the Refiner. Building the Refiner requires 20 Stone and 20 Wood. The text also notes that Ridge delivered the blueprint on Night 5 of Spring, Year 1.
Once you have the Refiner, set it down near your home. Interact with it, then add 6 Stones to produce 1 Refined Stone. Stones are easy to farm early: just use your basic pickaxe on small rocks, and there should be plenty nearby.
Now, to fully move forward with “A Bridge Too Far”, follow these quest steps until it’s complete. After that, you’ll be able to travel to the Cave of Echoes and start breaking open Copper Ore deposits with your pickaxe:
- Talk to Orlock
- Go to the Broken Lamp
- Pay Orlock’s debt to Samael.
- Wait for Orlock to apologize.
- Meet Mina at Fiona’s House in Moonlit Pines.
- Ask Noel, Luna, and Sabrina for help.
Cave of Echoes Location – Copper Ore Spot
The Cave of Echoes sits southwest of town. The text says you can see the exact entrance location in the image above. Before you head in, make sure you bring enough Energy (or food) so you can spend more time gathering Copper Ore.
How to Make Copper Bars in Moonlight Peaks
Once you’ve collected enough Copper Ore to craft the Furnace (and you’ve also produced your Refined Stone), you can finally start smelting. To make a Copper Bar, place four Copper Ore and one piece of Charcoal into the Furnace.
If you don’t have Charcoal yet, you can still use the Furnace—but you’ll have to gather the fuel first. Chop smaller logs and trees around town using your axe, and you’ll be ready to keep the smelting chain going.
