↖ What is Armor Trimming?

First things first: in OSRS, trimming armor only offers cosmetic upgrades. They don't make you stronger or give you any sort of advantage over goblins. It's all about flexing on the streets!

 

↖ Think Twice About Trimming

Now here's the kicker: you can't actually trim anyone's armor in OSRS – it's a scam! Some bad people might tell you they'll do it for free, but don't fall for their tricks. There are other legitimate ways to get trimmed armor, like treasure trails or trading with players who've done them before.

 

↖ How to Get Trimmed Armor

- Treasure Trails: Start these mini-quests by following clue scrolls scattered throughout the world and complete them to earn fancy-looking gear.

- Trade with Honest Players: Find someone who has it and trade them something fair for it. Easy peasy as long as the trade is honest!

 

↖ Avoiding Scammers

- No Trust Trades: If someone says they need your gear to trim it, keep it with you at all times. Trust trades aren't ever safe.

- Know How Things Work: Spend some time understanding game mechanics so nobody can trick you into believing that trimming is a player skill.

- Ask Around: Look through forums or use chatrooms within the game that experienced players often hang out in – they'll keep you up to date on what's real and what isn't.

 

In Short

- Trimming only affects your looks.

- You can't trim anyone's stuff yourself – people who say otherwise are scammers.

- You can find trimmed gear through treasure trails or trades.

- Be alert and never give away anything based on promises of an upgrade.
