Adamantite rocks are Mining rocks that can be mined at level 70 Mining to produce adamantite ore and 95 Mining experience. After being mined, adamantite rocks takes four minutes to respawn, or two minutes within the Mining Guild. Due to the scarcity of available rocks, world switching can be useful to minimise downtime.

Wearing superior or expert mining gloves allows one additional ore (with superior gloves) or two (with expert gloves) to be gathered before the rocks deplete.

Pre-roll

The mining gem drop table has a 1/256 chance to roll on every mining attempt;^[1] if the player is wearing a charged amulet of glory, amulet of glory (t), or amulet of eternal glory, the probability increases to 1/64.2.^[2]^[3] If the table successfully rolls, the player may receive an uncut gem or nothing, and in either case can not receive an ore.^[4] This neither depletes the rock nor grants Mining experience. The rates shown are for every mining attempt.
