	Considered to be the strongest material in Elanthia, '''adamantine''' has maxed out breakage statistics and has a chance to disarm opponents upon a successful parry or if the attacker strikes the defender's armor. If the weapon used is non-magical, it may break instead. The chance for disarming or breaking is based on the Strength/Durability difference of the attacking weapon compared to the Adamantine, as well as an additional hidden/unknown factor. The "weaker" the attacking weapon, the higher the frequency. Armor made from Adamantine has a chance to deflect bolt spells that would otherwise hit you.

The "weaker" the attacking weapon, the higher the frequency. Armor made from Adamantine has a chance to deflect bolt spells that would otherwise hit you. The overall effect seems (a cursory analysis of logs) to block about 10% of incoming attacks.

	A character must be at least [[level]] 65 before being able to hold and use adamantine weapons and armor. That adamantine tends to overpower the less experienced is derived from the fact that is it not just very strong, it is essentially supernaturally indestructible. In order to shape that kind of toughness into a useable form (like a weapon or a suit of armor), some pretty powerful magic has to be used continually over the long and slow process of crafting. That kind of mana expenditure leaves behind a very strong magical residue on the resulting item, which takes a fair bit of training to overcome.
