Adamantite Ore

Adamantite Ore is one of the two top-tier Ores that can spawn from every third destroyed Altar in Hardmode (the other possible Ore being Titanium). In worlds where it spawns, it is the rarest and most valuable of the three Altar-spawned Ores. Once spawned, Adamantite is found near the bottom of the Cavern layer, just above the depth where Lava begins appearing.

A Mythril/Orichalcum Drill, or better is required in order to mine Adamantite. On the, a Palladium Drill will also be able to mine it. An Adamantite Forge, crafted from 30 Adamantite Ore and one Hellforge, is required in order to craft Adamantite Bars.

On the, Adamantite ore, as well as Adamantite Bars, can also be obtained by opening crates, eliminating the need for a lower tier pickaxe.

Crafting all Adamantite items requires 144 Adamantite Bars, plus thirty raw Ore for an Adamantite Forge, for a total of 750 Adamantite Ore.
