About Adamant pickaxe

"Used for mining."

Adamant pickaxe is the second-best F2P pickaxe in OSRS, wielded at 30 Attack and used at 31 Mining. It mines slightly faster than mithril and is the standard tool for F2P miners grinding adamantite ore or pushing toward 41 Mining for the rune pickaxe. Members also use it as a budget tool during ironman skilling. Sold by Nurmof in the Dwarven Mine and Yarsul in the Mining Guild, with steady drop supply from greater demons and ankou.

Market Strategy

  • Shop respawn floor caps the price near GE value.
  • F2P-available and 40 buy limit keep flips small.
  • Demand mostly from new F2P miners pushing 41 Mining for rune pickaxe.
  • Dragon pickaxe caps the upside for members; adamant stays the cheap step.

Trading Tips

Stock-run Yarsul during Mining Guild rush hours for fast resale.
Watch F2P content updates - new mining locations can spike short-term demand.
Limit orders only - spreads are tight near alch value.
