[QUOTE="CRGreathouse, post: 1590772, member: 474"] First, there's some disagreement on the density of adamantine; there's a mention, as I recall, in the PH (perhaps removed in 3.5?) in which is weighs 3/4 what iron does; everywhere else it's assumed to have the same density as iron. I'll assume it's as iron here; take 3/4 of the final number if you think it should have that density instead. 471 cubic feet of iron (if it's a a cube, about 7'9" to a side) would weigh quite a lot -- 205 824 pounds. Adamantine armor costs more than mithral armor, but it's hard to calculate an exact value. There's reason to think they're similar, so I'll just use the same price for both. Remember, though, that if anything adamantine is more expensive. 1 pound of mithral costs 500 gp, so 471 cubic feet of adamantine costs (at least) 102 900 000 gp. That's more wealth than 100 20th-level characters should have. [/QUOTE]
