Throughout the early portion of V Rising, your main goal is to acquire standard materials so you can craft stronger gear and establish a beginner castle. These materials include lumber, planks, stone, blood essence, animal hide, etc. As the game goes on and you start to develop into a more advanced vampire, you will soon find yourself needing even more materials that you previously might not have seen or even heard of. One such resource that you'll want more so than others is copper.
Copper is essentially the next step up from stone. It can make much stronger weapons and introduces players to the spear, which is the best weapon for fighting off creatures.

Basically, you will want to unlock copper as quickly as possible in V Rising.
