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 Caravans, with better odds from warlord caravans
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.
