[edit] raw adamantiumm

Please forgive me, but I am certainly not sure how to title this article. In short, its about what I did with raw deposits. When I found them to be empty, I just go out from that location, save my game, then exit the game and then restart and reload it. And I found that in most cases, there was ore sample in adamantium deposits (before were empty). If you not already mined an ore sample from deposit, because you found it empty, you can exit the area, save your game and then reload. I tested it, and there was ore sample in that deposit (previously it was empty). I posted it here, because someone may find it usable. If not I am sorry and you may delete this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Janmojzis (talk • contribs) on 26 January 2009.

That's how every container with random contents works in the game: the contents are randomly determined when you enter the zone. Therefore, each time you load a save and re-enter an area, a different set of random contents are generated. It's not a type of respawning, and it's not specific to adamantium ore. Also, your chances of finding adamantium ore after reloading are still 60%, same as before. --Nephele^Talk 00:08, 3 February 2009 (EST)

But I dont understand why I should "save the game before mining them" - as stated in article. Cause there is always only one sample per ore anyway. And if theres no sample in ore, you cannot mine it (you can still continue in game, then save it in other location and reload and return and its still the same effect - verified).

[edit] Respawning

I've changed the page back to make clear that Adamantium does not respawn.

The internal facts are as follows. Adamantium is only found in the leveled list random_adamantium. That list is found in the following containers and nowhere else: rock_adam_py08, rock_adam_py09, rock_adam_py10, rock_adam_py11, rock_adam_py12, rock_adam_py13, rock_adam_py14, rock_adam_mold15, rock_adam_mold16, rock_adam_mold17, rock_adam_mold18, rock_adam_mold19, rock_adam_mold20 and , rock_adam_mold21. Some of the "py" ones are not used, but the others are found in Norenen-dur, The Teeth that Gnash. The "mold" ones are found mostly in Old Mournhold: Temple Crypt with a few in Old Mournhold: Temple Catacombs and three in Old Mournhold: Armory Ruins.

All the containers (except py_09, which isn't used anyway) are "non-organic" and are set to not respawn.

There is a chance that if you install a mod it can cause a cell reset, which would cause the adamantium to respawn but this is non-typical behavior. The standard is that the rocks will not respawn, so that is what the article should say. –rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 05:06, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Stahlrim or Adamantium?

So, i know this is a stupid question, but i've had some issues deciding which Medium armor ACTUALLY is the best, I have the GOTY xbox version, so it has both expansions, and both claim to be the best, and i can't work out which is true just from the base stats. Pardon my ignorance, and if anyone knows for sure, please, help me out —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.200.97.155 (talk • contribs).

The best would be Stahlrim for everything besides the helm, which would be Adamantium.--Ratwar 16:33, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Save game before mining ??

Forgive me, but I still don't understand why article 'till now states that I should save game before mining them, can anybody explain? (Because the ore can always be generated, in case you not already removed it from container, even you can save after you've found the container empty -- upon next restart the previously not generated ore can be generated upon next time-restart.)

It's a lot easier to just reload immediately to get the ore rather than wait for the next time you restart.--Ratwar 00:56, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
