Multiple altars spawning more 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. -- Lexmechanic 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.

Cobalt Drill can't mine Adamantite Ore[]
Can anyone confirm for certain if the Cobalt Drill can mine Adamantite Ore on the PC Version? I was trying for about an hour to figure out why I couldn't use a Cobalt Drill to mine Adamantite (between enemy spawns) even though the Wiki said it was possible with Cobalt/Palladium.

As of 1.4.1.2 it cannot, I tried it in game.--BitBeans (talk) 02:48, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Help[]
I just beat the wall of flesh and got the pwnhammer. I started breaking demon altars only to find out that my world is only being blessed with Palladium, Orichalcum, and Titanium ore? I tried many different worlds and got the same results. I still found some cobalt on my world but not adamantite or mythril ore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jundi147 (talk • contribs) at 20:02, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
- The ores your world spawns are determined when the altar for each is spawned, and each world will only generate one of the two possible ore types for each tier. It's doubtful your case is a bug, as the nature of probability can sometimes make it seem that the result is slanted in one direction or the other. If you generate enough worlds you'll eventually encounter the other ore types. If you'd rather just get it from somewhere else, you'd be better off asking for this at the forums- someone there may be willing to trade with you. Gearzein (talk) 20:32, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Depth is incorrect in article[]
I'm currently on a large world at a depth of 1928' and finding adamantite. I'm not sure where it actually begins though. Now I'm adding more words to this talk post so it doesn't get flagged as harmful which is stupid because here I am trying to help total Strangers by pointing out an error and I'm the one being accused of unconstructive. No wonder there's so many errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.29.97.83 at 16:34, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
- I am sorry your contribution was rejected by the abuse filter. While it is generally a helpful tool to prevent spam and vandalism, there is the odd false positive. Unfortunately, your case in particular was handled by a Gamepedia-global filter, so we can't do much to tweak that.
- Anyway, the info on this page regarding depth is indeed incorrect. The levels at which the first Hardmode ores start spawning are relative to the surface, underground, and cavern layer boundaries, which are randomized upon world generation, so the exact values are different in every world. I've recently updated the Hardmode ores page to reflect this, but haven't gotten around to doing that to all six individual pages.
- Thanks for pointing this error out! Please don't hesitate to mention any other error you come across or, if possible, even correct the article yourself. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 17:07, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
