I wouldn't think so. That would just make mithril more powerful than it already is.

Gen. Grievous1138 (LOTR Mod Wiki Admin) comlink 15:34, June 25, 2017 (UTC) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought mithril was highly overrated and not worth the trouble.

I'm pretty sure you are correct. full mithril armor + full set of mithril tools and weapons takes hours, days or even weeks of mining to obtain. Diamonds are much easier to find and it's more worth making armor and tools (but maybe not weapons) out of them. The problem with diamonds is, that on many servers, diamond equipment/armor or even going to the overworld is illegal.

EDIT: You can also get mithril as drops from utumno orcs, barrow-wights and maybe some others. You can also find it in various chests, such as barrow-downs barrows and dwarven mines (?). Is there any way I can make mithril as rare as diamonds by going inti the mod files or something like that? Then it would be worth trying to find.
