It allows the players to customize their armor items to make it look unique.

Along with being one of the best-looking trims, the Silence armor trim is also the rarest in the game. The ancient city is the only place where this item can be found, and the chances are severely low.

They should only dig for an ancient city if they come across the deep dark caves biome, which is easily recognizable due to its abundant sculk growth.
