[[File:Adamantite rock.png|right|thumb|An Adamantite rock]]
An '''Adamantite rock''' is a protruding rock containing adamantite. A player with a [[Mining]] level of 70 or higher can mine [[adamantite ore]] from rocks found in various [[Mining#Mine table|mines]], granting 95 Mining [[experience]] for each ore mined. After being mined, an adamantite rock takes between 4 to 8 minutes to respawn, depending on the amount of players on the server.

The [[Bandit camp mining site]] contains the most [[free play|free-to-play]] adamantite rocks, but it is far from a bank, filled with aggressive [[Hobgoblin]]s, and dangerous since it is in the [[Wilderness]]. Hobgoblins will not keep you from mining, but you will still undergo attack from them. [[Player killers]] make this even harder because they can attack players who are unprepared. Using a [[canoe]] or a [[Lava titan|Lava Titan]] familiar makes this mine more convenient for members.

The [[Mining Guild resource dungeon|mining guild resource dungeon]], combined with the adamantite rocks in the dwarven mines, make seven rocks that are fairly close together. Utilising the bank deposit box in the dwarven mines resource dungeon makes banking of the collected ores quick. This method requires a [[Dungeoneering]] level of 45.

The next best way for free players to mine adamantite ore would be to go to one of the other mines and switch worlds after mining the rocks.

The lowest level of the [[Abandoned Mine]] has 13 adamant ore veins, but requires retracing the steps of the [[Haunted Mine]] quest to get the glowing fungus (Note that the fungus cannot be re-stored in the cart). The fungus can be safely dropped while mining to free an inventory slot. The Jatizso mine is also a good place to mine as there are 11 rocks; however, there are ice trolls to worry about, they are decently high levels and the [[Ice troll male|males]] can hit 177, and the [[Ice troll female|females]] can throw rocks over the rocks you are mining.

The [[Lletya mining site]] is only a decent Adamant mining spot once you have completed [[Roving Elves]] and started [[Mourning's Ends Part I]] since you will be able to bank at Lletya which is a small run away. The mine is small, only containing the 7 Adamant rocks and is completely unguarded except for a small trap at the entrance.

==Respawn rate==
Adamantite ore, like all other mined rocks, [[Spawning|respawns]] at a rate directly proportional to the number of people in the rock's ''RuneScape'' [[server|world]]. If the world is empty, the ore respawns in 8 minutes; if it is full (with 2000 players), it respawns in 4 minutes. Thus the respawn rate of adamantite ore is
:<math>8-\frac{x}{500}</math> minutes,
where ''x'' is the number of players in the world.

A table of respawn rates is given below.
