Editing Adamantine (section)

==In World of Warcraft==

Adamantite was introduced in Wow's first expansion pack, The Burning Crusade, where it was only found on the planet of Outland... and, for some reason, on a single island on Azeroth that had no connection whatsoever to Outland. One would think that if any materials from Outland were to find their way into Azeroth, it would be in the same zone as the Dark Portal, since the Dark Portal is typically how stuff gets from Outland to Azeroth, but nobody at Blizzard was that smart. Also, out of all of the metals introduced in that expansion, it was easily the second-weakest or second-cheapest (behind Fel Iron). Khorium and Eternium were both better and more valuable "raw" metals, with Khorium veins being uncommon and Eternium ore only showing up as a surprise when mining other metals, and then there were the "processed" metals like Felsteel, Hardened Adamantite, and Hardened Khorium, which were what all the really good weapons and armor were made of.

Then Wrath of the Lich King came along and all of this shit was outclassed by cobalt. Fucking '''''cobalt''''', man. That's not even a fantasy metal, or a particularly useful one in the real world. Cobalt is mostly famous for producing nasty fumes, having the same atomic weight as the mood slime from Ghostbusters II, and being named after [[Kobolds]] (sort of).
