Adamant platebody

The Adamant platebody is the third-best standard platebody. A player with 88 Smithing can make an adamant platebody by using five Adamant bars on an anvil while carrying a hammer or a golden hammer , granting 312.5 smithing experience per platebody. It requires level 30 Defence to wear. Adamant platebodies are often used by players who can wear Rune armour but have not completed Dragon Slayer, or cannot afford a Rune platebody.

Economy
Most adamant platebodies enter the game from smiths who use them to gain fast experience. Smithing adamant platebodies can be over 200,000 smithing experience per hour; however, over 2 million coins are lost per hour as well. The experience can be gained at half price if Sacred clay hammers are used, if a player uses a fast sc clan they can attain about 3-4 hammers an hour. Overall it takes more time per exp, but most players find it well worth it to do this as it is a rather insignificant difference in exp per unit of time spent playing.

Most adamant platebodies leave the game by high alchemy, due to their Grand Exchange price being lower than their high alchemy price. Although only 100 adamant platebodies may be purchased on the Grand Exchange per four hours, adamant platebodies may be alched on F2P, making them a popular item to alch.

Trimmed versions
Decorative versions of the adamant platebody (as well as other adamant armour) may be obtained from level 2 Treasure trails. The decorative versions give the same stats as the regular version, but cost more. Trimmed armour may only be obtained through treasure trails or purchase. Players cannot trim armour themselves, or smith trimmed armour.

Shop locations
Adamant platebodies may be purchased from:


 * Valaine's Shop of Champions

However, the price to buy an adamant platebody from Valaine is 16,640 coins, which is far more expensive than the approximately 9870 coins it costs to buy an Adamant platebody on the Grand Exchange.

Trivia

 * When first released, the adamant platebody cost 40,000 coins in the store, but the price was later lowered.
 * Adamant platebodies are the heaviest re-obtainable objects available in F2P.
 * High alching Adamant platebodies used to provide a cheap path to 99 magic. This is no longer effective as a sizeable sum of cash is lost (about gp) after every alch.
 * The trimmed and heraldic versions have lower alchemy values than regular adamant platebodies, despite being worth much more.
