Adamantite Ore



Adamantite Ore is the highest tier of the three Ores available in Hardmode, and is the rarest and most valuable of the three. It spawns upon the destruction of every third Demon Altar or Crimson Altar. A Mythril/Orichalcum Drill or better is required in order to mine Adamantite on both the PC and console versions of the game, as of Version 1.2's release. It is used to craft the Adamantite Forge and Adamantite Bars. An Adamantite Forge, crafted from 30 Adamantite Ore and one Hellforge, is required in order to craft Adamantite Bars.

The ore will not appear in the world until the player destroys three Demon Altars or Crimson Altars with a Pwnhammer.

Adamantite is colored red and can be found near the bottom of the Cavern layer, just above the depth where Lava begins appearing. To craft all Adamantite equipment, the player needs to gather 144 Adamantite Bars, plus thirty ore for an Adamantite Forge, for a total of 750 Adamantite Ore.

Adamantite may be replaced with Titanium in your world.

Trivia

 * Adamantite gets its name from "adamant" which has historically been used to describe exceptionally hard materials such as diamond. Adamant and variations have widely been used to describe metals and materials with incredible durability in fantasy, science-fiction, and mythology, from as far back as "adamantine" in ancient Greek mythology, to the "adamantium" of Marvel Comics (first appearing in Avengers #66 but made famous by the popular X-Men character Wolverine, whose skeleton was infused with "adamantium").
