Appearances

Final Fantasy IV

Armor of adamantite.
Description

Adamant Armor is the strongest armor only obtained if the player brings a Pink Tail to the Tail Collector at Adamant Isle Grotto. It provides 100 Defense, 20 Magic Defense, 12 Magic Evasion, resistance to Fire, Ice, Lightning, Poison, Blind, Silence, Pig, Mini, Toad, Petrify, Death, Gradual Petrify, Confuse, Sleep, Paralyze, Float, and Curse. It also gives +15 to Strength, Stamina, Agility, Intelligence, and Spirit. It can be equipped by everyone except Dark Knight Cecil.

In the 3D remakes, Adamant Armor is still the best armor, providing 100 Defense and Magic Defense, 30 Evasion and Magic Evasion, +15 Strength/Stamina/Agility/Intelligence/Spirit, resistance towards all elements, and resistance to all statuses except Berserk, Sap, Slow, Doom, and Critical. Once again, only Dark Knight Cecil cannot equip it.

The Adamant Armor apparently plays around with some extended flags in the SNES version, and removing the Adamant Armor after having it equipped on a character once will make that character very weak (4x damage taken) to Fire, Ice, and Lightning elements. If the player manage to get this armor, they should equip it to a character and never remove it.
