The adamant platebody is the third-best standard platebody. A player with 88 Smithing can make an adamant platebody by using five adamant bars on an anvil while carrying a hammer, sacred clay hammer or a golden hammer, granting 312.5 Smithing experience per platebody. It requires level 40 Defence to wear. Adamant platebodies are occasionally worn by players who are unable to afford rune armour despite holding the sufficient requirements.

Economy
Most adamant platebodies enter the game from smiths who use them to gain fast experience. Smithing adamant platebodies can be over 200,000 Smithing experience per hour; however, over 850,000 coins are lost per hour as well. The experience can be gained at half price if sacred clay hammers are used. If a player uses a fast Stealing Creation clan they can attain about 3-4 hammers per hour. Playing non-combat Stealing Creation the average stealing creation points per hour are 90-98, this equals to 4.5-4.9 hammers per hour. Overall, it takes more time per exp point, but most players find it well worth it to do this as it is a rather significant difference in gp per unit of time spent playing.
Most adamant platebodies leave the game by high alchemy, due to their Grand Exchange price being lower than their high alchemy price.
At current Grand Exchange prices, making and selling one adamant platebody would cost −170 coins. This is -0.52 coins/XP (with neither a Sacred clay hammer nor a scroll of efficiency).
With a sacred clay hammer and scroll of efficiency, at current Grand Exchange prices, making and selling one adamant platebody would cost −310.88 coins. This is -0.5 coins/XP.
Adamant platebodies can also be received as loot from silver chests in the Shade Catacombs.
Treasure trail versions
Decorative versions of the adamant platebody (as well as other adamant armour) may be obtained from level 2 Treasure trails. The decorative versions give the same stats as the regular version, but cost more. Trimmed armour may only be obtained through treasure trails or purchase. Players cannot trim armour themselves, or smith trimmed armour. Though only obtainable by members, they are available to free players.
