    Oh, man. Go to Camp Skull Valley, strike at +3, and you'll get more than enough copper ore. For the longest time, I only mined there, and it seemed like I was never getting anything but copper. I actually left to go find zinc.

    Indeed, to get copper you need to go back to lower grade nodes. The lack of SP once you're higher ranked may be a put-off, but it's the only way to get that copper in bulk. >_>

    And in essence it makes sense to have to back track to get ores, which is what i suggest they do in the same regard to zinc. I'm sorry but something i got an over-abundance of in grade 2 should not be equally abundant, necessarily even there, in grade 5...our current highest grade.

    I know you can get plenty from low level areas, but the original quote was talking about zinc at grade 5, I just meant that you get tons of zinc there but no copper making the zinc useless. similarly with gold sand when you stop getting silver sand.

    And as mentioned if you are going to go back to grade 2 where you are goign to get even more zinc, you might as well make the zinc less available grade 5. I have always had an over abundance of zinc compared to copper
