Just one problem: all that copper ore you've been collecting isn't going to turn into bars. You've got two options for getting your hands on the bars needed for the first upgrade tier.

For this, you'll need to speak to Danos up in the town square, just up the stairs north of the Sacrament Whisper. Once you've spoken with him, you can exchange raw materials for town upgrades. To deck out the blacksmith with a useable forge, just hand over 10 Pine Wood and 10 Copper Ore, wait an hour, and voila. Now you can turn copper ore into copper bars at a rate of 1:1. Teach a man to smelt and all that. The post How to get copper bars in No Rest for the Wicked appeared first on Destructoid.
