Adamant equipment
Adamant equipment are equipment stronger than mithril equipment but weaker than rune equipment. As with all adamant items, they have a dark Magenta Greenish colour. Interestingly enough, this armour is heavier than any other equipment, even rune. Therefore it is recommended to move on to rune armour as soon as possible. Even though the armour is heavy it has good stats. It has an advantage because it has a huge difference in price compared to rune. Because of this, many people choose adamant armour over rune when they go to PvP areas.
Weapons
Adamant weapons require an Attack level of 30 to wield, but specific weapons also require various other stats to use (the halberd, for example, requires 15 Strength).

Trivia
- The word most probably comes from the word adamantos, meaning invincible (even though in Runescape it isn't exactly that!). Interestingly the word diamond also comes from this. It may also have come from the uncommonly used word adamant, meaning as hard as rock.
- In some Greek myths it is believed that the mythic adamant is "unbreakable".
- In marvel comics, adamantite or adamantium is the strongest metal in the universe, so strong that it took Hulk days to break an adamant needle. Wolverine also has adamant in his bones and claws.
- Adamant armour looks similar to proselyte armour in shape, but not in colour.
- Adamant armour looks similar to Orcish Armour from the "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" (video game). It is similar in colour and shape.
