Compare Multiple Trims on the Same Armor

Testing Different Trim Patterns

When deciding which smithing template to use, you might want to compare how different trim patterns look on the same base armor piece.

Steps

1. Open your recipe viewer and search for a smithing template

2. View its preview and note how it looks on your chosen armor type and material

3. Close or minimize this preview

4. Search for a different smithing template

5. Open its preview on the same armor piece and material

6. Compare the two patterns side-by-side or by switching between them

7. Repeat for as many templates as you want to evaluate

Making Your Decision

Since each template creates a distinct visual pattern, seeing them all on identical armor helps you choose based purely on aesthetics. You might prefer the bold lines of one trim over the subtle details of another, or find that certain patterns complement your gear's color better. The viewer removes guesswork from this decision.
