The adamant pickaxe is a pickaxe that is stronger than the mithril pickaxe, but weaker than the rune pickaxe. It requires an Attack level of 30 to wield, and a Mining level of 31 to mine with.
The adamant pickaxe mines on a 4-tick cycle, unlike other pickaxes. This allows it to be used for tick manipulation in various places, such as mining shooting stars.

Pickaxes no longer randomly accelerate Mining by one tick on free-to-play worlds. |
