Adamantite

Legendary metal renowned for its strength.
Found In Flying Fortress 2F
The Adamantite isn't very interesting in its raw form, but it can be forged into the mighty Excalibur, second only to the Masamune in power. If you find yourself leaving the Flying Fortress before defeating Tiamat, but after you've found the Adamantite, it may be worth a detour to get the Excalibur before returning.

Excalibur is quite an interesting Weapon. It's not nearly as powerful as the Masamune, but it actually tends to be more accurate, because it's strong against almost everything. Any Monster with an Elemental weakness or a Family will suffer the wrath of the Excalibur, in effect making its Attack 49 and making hits 20% more likely. Sadly, the Accuracy bonus doesn't add any extra attacks. This Weapon is so good that it's probably worth leaving the Flying Fortress as soon as you find the Adamantite just to go get it. Don't replace it with the Masamune—the Excalibur may be the second-best Weapon in the game, but it's far beyond third place. Your best bet is to have your Knight keep using it until the end of the game.

ADAMANT

The ADAMANT isn't very interesting in its raw form, but it can be forged into the mighty Xcalber, second only to the Masmune in power. If you find yourself leaving the Floating Castle before defeating TIAMAT, but after you've found the ADAMANT, it may be worth a detour to get the Xcalber before returning.

Adamantite is an annoying Component, because it cannot be found anywhere, only purchased. While there are more expensive Components out there, you can find those, making Adamantite the biggest money sink in the game. Fortunately, only three Weapons require it for upgrading, though the Accessories that use it are pretty nice in their own right.
