Armour Trims & Sets

Trims are rare drag-on upgrades for armour — one trim per piece, each with its own look and its own set of bonuses. Drop a trim onto a piece of gear and it gains whatever that trim grants: PvP damage, damage reduction, mining and loot perks — all spelled out on the trim item before you apply it.

Changed your mind? A Trim Remover (itself a rare drop) takes a trim off a piece and hands it back to you. You can also apply a new trim straight over an old one after a quick chat confirm — but the trim you replace is gone for good.

Where trims drop

Trims you can find in the world:

Trim Source
Spectral Rare world loot
Wayfarer Very rare world loot
Olympian KOTH jackpot reward
Emberfall Erebus Pit guards
Raider Currently no drop source
Foresight Rare world loot
Riftborn Rift-cache chase
Thanatos Boss-only
Hephaestus Boss-only

The Aether trim is among the rarest finds on the server — a Skywars-exclusive pull from Champion Boxes, left for the worthy to uncover. See Skywars for how to earn the chance.

Notable trim bonuses

A few trims carry standout effects worth knowing before you chase them:

  • Spectral — Phantom Veil. A true vanish. When you take a hit there's a small chance to fully disappear for a couple of seconds — your body, armour and nameplate all go invisible and you take no damage, with a chat alert to mark it.
  • Olympian. The KOTH jackpot trim. Its second-roll loot perk now also fires on shades and wraiths, not just its original targets.
  • Raider. Built for cell raiding — a full Raider set takes 25% less damage from cell guards.

The Skipstone set

Skipstone is a new 4-piece armour trim set. Wear all four pieces and the full-set bonus grants:

  • up to 8% more damage
  • 8% less damage taken
  • +6 Max HP

The set has one extra trick: completing all four pieces also unlocks the Skipstone wand trim's beam ricochet, so your wand beam bounces between targets. Partial sets give partial value — the headline numbers are for the full four.

Trims change how a piece performs, not how it looks beyond the trim's own pattern — for purely visual flair, see Cosmetics. And remember that armour bonuses stack with whatever you carry in your offhand, so plan the two together.

The /trims catalog

Run /trims to browse every trim in the game, what it does, and where it comes from. The catalog is now organised by item type — separate tabs for Armour, Pickaxe, Weapon, Wand and Bow — so you can jump straight to the line you care about. Pickaxe, weapon, wand and bow trims live on their own pages: see Weapon, Wand & Bow Trims.

When a player is the first to apply a given trim, the server-wide announcement now points everyone to /trims so they can see what just got claimed.
