Copper

Copper is the other most commonly used ore. At a high level of Smithing there is usually a very low if any difference between Iron and copper. Usually, copper would be chosen in this situation due to the fact that it is lighter than Iron. Iron is still usually preferred, though, because it looks a lot nicer than copper. Copper can make every creatable metal object in the game, such as armor, weapons, keys, locks, anvils and metal carts.
