There is not too much to the strategy behind mining 2moons gold copper. Copper is the easiest metal to improve and find deposits from. Copper can be found outside of any newbie zones. If you are farming for copper, consider traveling in a circular direction around the outer edges of your nearest newbie zone. Avoid looking in newbie mines or along the roads of newbie zones, as these are commonly picked clean by all the new players running around. On a more mature server, the newbie zones are fairly deserted during off-peak hours, and this is a good time to farm.
