Armor trim farming

Ancient City chests armor trim farming guide

Ancient City chests are high-risk deep-dark loot sources for Ward and the rare Silence template.

Fast route

Move slowly, use wool paths to reduce vibration, loot chests one by one, and leave if a Warden chain starts getting out of control. Cold-biome Ancient Cities matter for Silence hunting.

This source gives the strongest prestige content for deep-dark, sculk, Warden, and end-game netherite armor.

What to bring

Bring wool, night vision, swift sneak if you have it, snowballs, food, blocks, and an escape route. Do not rely on fighting the Warden.

For repeat farming, keep a smithing table, diamonds, and the matching duplication block near your route so the first template can become a full armor set quickly.
