Mithril is a LOTR reference. Adamantium is an X-Men reference. Go watch your movies, foo.

No, you da foo! Mithril and Adamantium are also metals in WOW, damn nub. Mithril can be mined at lower level and is used to make armor. Adamantium is used use to make MO BETTER ARMOR with higher resistance.

OMG shouldn't Marvel have a copyright on Adamantium? Jeeba!

Adamantium lock boxes require a higher lockpicking skill to unlock than a Mithril lock box in WoW. ;)

My sphincter is more resistant to pentration than mithril and adamantium combined, and it is not magical. If I added a +3 armor enchantment to it I would have trouble going to the bathroom, so I decided to forgo the enhancement for the purpose of convenience.

Mithril IMO is not impervius like adamantium is suppsed to be. Hard to say because I do not believe tolkien ever wrote of mithril being destroyed but he did right of dwarves wearing it dying, etc. In the end don't know.

The only real-world experiment that can be performed for a definitive answer is by stabbing each with a lightsaber.

true...but maybe they died from wounds inflicted in areas not covered by mithril? remember frodo got owned by the troll and it didnt even scratch his mithril tunic. wolverine could slice through just about anything, though, so its a touch call. we need to pit frodo against wolverine...wait, that wouldnt go well.

Lockpicking is not breaking
