These are created from Copper Ore, which are very easy to mine in starting-level areas such as Elwynn Forest & Tirisfal Glades. (Keep in mind that night elf characters are not able to find copper until they journey to Darkshore, a level 11+ area)
Copper Bar's are used mainly by Engineers and Blacksmiths.
Copper Ore's smelt into Copper Bars, which are generally very easy to sell at high rates on the auction house. As such this is one of efficient ways to make money when first starting on a new server :)
The best place to mine copper in my opinion is the Gol'Bolar Quarry in Dun Morogh. You can easily get 100 ores per hour if you are alone.

If you’ve got a good amount of them–specifically if you’ve got the Mining profession and have been crafting them without any other profession that find much use in the bars, this is your best bet. Even if you’ve got a small amount–some you find throughout the world, then set them on the Auction House.

If you have an alternate profession which deals with using Copper Bars, then that’s probably how you’re going to want to use them. Keep in mind, though, you’ll more than likely be needing more than one material to craft equipment and other such items.Test them out, figure out which crafted items sell for either the most or the fastest over the AH. Even with the expansion of Battle for Azeroth being here, lower level items still sell. Maybe not the highest price ever, but lower levels may still need them. Plus, some transmog pieces are made with Copper Bars.

Copper Bar in WoW Classic and World of Warcraft: Forever
Copper Bar is in the Classic Era game data, the era World of Warcraft: Forever is built on. Blizzard describes Forever as vanilla World of Warcraft plussed up: its story sits in year one, characters level to 60 and stay there, and it launches November 4, 2026. Blizzard has not said which vanilla items appear in Forever, so nothing here is a Forever claim; it is the Classic Era record for Copper Bar next to the live retail market on this page.
- Is Copper Bar in World of Warcraft: Forever?
- Not confirmed. Blizzard has not published Forever's item list. Copper Bar is a Classic Era item and Forever is built on vanilla World of Warcraft with its story set in year one and a level 60 cap, so this page tracks it. Forever launches November 4, 2026.
