Updated for patch 4.2.

There are two types of Adamantite Deposits you’ll find, Adamantite Deposit and Rich Adamantite Deposit. You will need to have your mining skill at 325 to mine regular Adamantite Deposit and 350 to mine Rich Adamantite Deposit.

If you are trying to use mining as a way to make gold take a look at this Gold Course which teaches you strategies to maximize the gold you make when you sell things on the Auction House.

The two zones I’ve chosen for Adamantite are Nagrand and Netherstorm.  Both of these are best done with flying mounts.

Adamantite Ore in Nagrand

The main focus of this zone is the caves which I’ve marked with V’s on the map.  I would spend most of my time travelling between them and then taking the north route to start over again.  If you wanted to you could also fly the southern edge of the zone to get back to the start.

Adamantite Ore in Netherstorm

Netherstorm is comprised of a bunch of islands so you’re definitely going to want to have a f lying mount to mine in Netherstorm.   There’s one fairly large cave you can go in marked on the map.  If you set yourself up in the right position for the small northwest island you can afk farm adamantite ore.  You just come back and check your computer every so many minutes and mine the nodes when they spawn.
