The Adamantite Drill is a Hardmode drill. It is the alternative to the Adamantite Pickaxe, having a faster mining speed but shorter range and lacking the ability to benefit from mining speed bonuses. It can mine blocks up to Adamantite and Titanium Ore.

Its alternate ore counterpart is the Titanium Drill. The Adamantite Drill has slightly more pickaxe power and damage.

(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

(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

It is preferable to save Adamantite and Titanium for armor and weapons, as the respective drills do not allow mining any new blocks that the Mythril and Orichalcum Drills would not.
