If there’s one type of gear in Baldur’s Gate 3 you should invest your time into crafting, it would be the Adamantine range. These items take time to craft because they require Mithral Ore and specific Molds, but the results are worth it.
All Adamantine items in BG3
There are only six Adamantime items in BG3 thus far, including a Scimitar, Splint Armor, Longsword, Mace, Shield, and Scale Mail.
While these items have unique effects and Molds, they all need Mithral Ore to forge them at the Adamantine Forge in Grymforge. Regarding the Molds, you will find them scattered around Grymforge.

I found them quite easily just by exploring the Forge, but if there’s a particular one you want, I’ve included the coordinates below. I would recommend piloting a character with Misty Step because some of these Molds are across chasms.
