Talk:Adamantite Ore

Does anyone know if destroying multiple Demon Altars and thus getting multiple blessings of adamantite actually increase the presence of adamantite further? Or does nothing change? 131.156.234.158 06:51, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

It does, but the 4th-6th will spawn half as much, 7-9th will spawn a third as much, and so on. Antvenom3333333 (talk) 13:15, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Admantite in other games
Mayby it could be noted on the page that admantite is also present in various other games, like dwarf fortress (where it is too the best material ingame)? --Miauw62 11:43, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * You must be crazy! There's no Adamantite in Dwarf Fortress! There is of course Adamantine... ;) --74.102.197.60 02:57, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Adamantite also appears in the MMO RuneScape under the same name. Interestingly, in that game, the three tiers of armor Mithril, Adamantite, and Dragon closely resemble Cobalt, Mythril and Adamantite, respectively. The same colors go in the same order, for what that's worth. -- TechpriestMagos 03:26, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Can we remove the "Adamantite is based on blah blah" trivia? As a pen and paper RPGer since way back in the 1980s I was already aware of this material, alternate spellings and all. Unless someone can point to an authoritative source saying exactly where this originated from, I am against adding trivia of this type. Go add it to the wikia wiki if you want, but I don't feel the official wiki needs this stuff unless you can get a dev quote specifically confirming it or something. - Spinfx 05:49, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * According to Wikipedia, "adamant" dates all the way back to Greek mythology, which came as a bit of a surprise to me since I too am familiar with it from relatively more recent fantasy settings. If nobody minds I'm going to rewrite the trivia with links to appropriate sources and references to popular and well-known examples in fiction and fantasy. Since the earliest example seems to be Greek mythology, pinning down the exact source seems pretty unlikely, but I think it's more than enough to make it worth mentioning. 66.31.37.172 23:55, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Breaking multiple Altars.
Breaking Multiple Demon Altars will increase the presense of the 3 ores in the game world.

I noticed this when I had only broke 3 and heavilly explore my world, afterwards I broke many more altars and found the ore was in places it was not previously.


 * I should also note that it seems to convert raw stone regardless if it is natural or placed, I will be experimenting in hell (Where I found the most ore) placing a large slab of stone to see if it is converted. But I did note a bridge I made of stone had a few peices of Cobalt imbeded into it.
