Adamantite
Talk2this wiki
Added by Espritduo- "Before the advent of alloys made by Man, adamantite was for many years the strongest metal known. Even today its quality and strength are peerless, save for a handful of rare alloys. That is why they tell of the fool who swallowed a shard of adamantite, only to have it cut its way out of his belly. A salutary tale, to be sure!"

Adamantite (アダマンタイト, Adamantaito?), sometimes called Adamantine (アダマンタイン, Adamantain?) or Adamant, is a precious metal found in several installments of the Final Fantasy series. It is usually used to make valuable weapons.

The Adamantite can be found on the second floor of the Flying Fortress. Once found, it can be taken to the Dwarven Smith Smyth, who will turn it into the Excalibur.

Final Fantasy X-2Edit
The Adamantite is an accessory that grants HP +100%, Defense +120, Magic Defense +120, and constant Protect and Shell statuses. It is also very heavy, so Agility is lowered by 30 points. In the NTSC/PAL versions it can only be received as a prize from the Gunner's Gauntlet minigame. It is an unique accessory in the game as only one can exist per save file. Since the minigame can be started in Chapter 2, the player can get this accessory fairly early on in the game.
In the International version of the game, Adamantite can alternatively be acquired by completing the storyline of Machina Panzer. Again, this can only be done once per save file.
Finally, winning Demon Cup randomly awards the player with Adamantite accessory.
