Weapon, Wand & Bow Trims

Trims aren't just for armour. The same system extends to your weapons — swords and axes, ancient wands and ancient bows — so the gear you fight with can carry a trim of its own. Each weapon type lives on its own tab in the /trims catalog, separate from the armour list. See Armour Trims & Sets for how the trim system works at large.

Where weapon trims live

Open /trims and you'll find weapons split out by type — one tab for swords/axes, one for wands, one for bows. Pick the tab for what you're holding to see what that weapon can wear.

Like armour, weapon, wand and bow trims hide their stats until they're discovered. The first player to apply a given trim reveals its effect server-wide, and from then on everyone sees what it does in /trims. Until that first application, it's just a name and a question mark, so being first to roll one is its own small claim to fame.

Weapon, wand and bow trims now show a bonuses block on the trim item and on the weapon it's applied to, matching how pickaxe and armour trims present theirs.

Skipstone: the wand trim

Skipstone is the trim for ancient wands, dropped by the tougher shades of Polis. It's no longer just flair on its own: a trimmed wand grants 10% increased wand damage and Leeches 1% of wand damage as Life, no armour required.

Wear the full Skipstone armour set alongside it and the trim's ability unlocks: when your wand beam hits a wall, it gets a chance to ricochet off the terrain to the nearest enemy in sight.

• One bounce per beam — it skips off the surface once, then it's done.
• It targets the nearest enemy you can see from the point of impact.
• PvE only, like every wand and bow effect — it won't redirect onto another player.

See Skipstone Wand Trim for the trim's own page.

Olympian: the rarest weapon pull

KOTH jackpots can drop the Olympian trim, and there's an ultra-rare weapon variant of it alongside the armour one. The weapon Olympian is the rarest thing in the jackpot — far scarcer than its armour counterpart. If you land one, it's a genuine trophy, and among the rarest finds in Tartarus — left for the worthy to uncover.

Hephaestus: the forge-god's weapon trim

Hephaestus now has a weapon trim of his own, dropped by the boss himself. It pairs with the Hephaestus armour set: complete the set and the trimmed weapon's full-set ability, Forgeheat, awakens. What it does is left for those who earn it to discover. See Hephaestus Weapon Trim.

Skyfall: the first bow trim

Skyfall is the first bow trim in the game, a jackpot pull from the Skywars Champion Box. It pairs with the matching Skyfall armour set: complete the set and the bow's full-set ability, Rain of Arrows, unlocks. Like every chase trim, its numbers stay hidden until discovered. See Skyfall Bow Trim.

Trims vs. cosmetic looks

Don't confuse a weapon trim with a weapon cosmetic. Trims live in /trims and (with the right set) can carry an effect; purely visual looks live in /cosmetics:

For the decorative side (recolouring your beam or trailing your arrows) head to Cosmetics. And before you commit to a wand or bow build at all, read Wands, Bows & the Glass-Cannon Tradeoff.
