Understanding Your Options

With 16 armor trim templates and 11 trimming minerals, you have hundreds of visual combinations per sword tier. Each pairing creates a distinct appearance, letting you discover unique looks.

Systematic Exploration

1. Gather a test sword (any tier works for preview purposes)

2. Collect samples of all 11 minerals

3. Pick one trim template and cycle through each mineral to see the color variations

4. Note which combinations appeal to you

5. Repeat with different trim templates

Finding Your Favorites

Use item frames to display your test results side-by-side. This visual comparison helps you identify which mineral colors complement which trim patterns. Some minerals create bold contrasts, while others blend subtly. Once you've found combinations you love, you can apply them to your actual combat swords or create decorative displays.

There's no penalty for experimenting—you can always trim the same sword again with a different combination.
