Adamantite, now called draconite: ore dug from fossil dragons in the deep.
The old books call it adamantite, and under that name it was sought for a long while. The miners who found it gave it another. For it does not lie in seams as honest ore does: it lies in the shape of a great beast turned to stone, rib and long jaw, and the pick that goes in among the ribs comes out green with ore. So they call it draconite. They do not like to be alone with it, and nobody has said how many dragons lay down under Alora, nor why.
Details
- In the game the ore is draconite ore, and what is mined is a fossilized dragon. It lies from level 3 below the surface to the bottom, always scarce, and less so from level 25 down.
- It takes a mining pick and Pitter (Mining) at level e450. Below that level the ore is destroyed as it is dug.
- With coal it is smelted into draconite ingots at Pitter (Smelting) level e450, and tempered at e750. The metal is stronger than mitrill.
The game also finds it under: adamantite ore, adamantite, draconite ore, draconite, draconite ingot.
