The Adamantite Drill is a Hardmode drill, and is the drill alternative to the Adamantite Pickaxe. In comparison to the Adamantite Pickaxe, the drill is faster. But, unlike pickaxes, drills cannot be reforged with speed modifiers and are not boosted by Mining Speed bonuses.

It can mine any block except Chlorophyte Ore and Lihzahrd Bricks.

(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.

(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Its best modifier is Demonic, as it does not have any knockback and thus cannot get modifiers that affect it, and furthermore cannot get modifiers that affect its speed, either.

Tips

• Early into Hardmode, it is usually preferable to save Adamantite for armor and weapons, as the Adamantite Drill does not allow mining any new blocks that the Mythril and Orichalcum pickaxes and drills would not mine.
