The Musician’s Fortune

March 12, 2026 by Cosmetic Lotro

So Ulbert was invited to come to Clegur to celebrate Spring and enjoy the Spring festivities taking place there. One of the locals gave him a flier, and the festival seemed mildly interesting, so he travelled to Clegur hoping for a piece of pie and some good music. Ulbert is a young aspiring minstrel, trying to become proficient with lute and fiddle, but unfortunately his fiddle is old and slightly cracked, so it doesn’t really sound that great (for no […]

Early days

February 26, 2026 by Cosmetic Lotro

It is hard to believe but in my part of the world we had our first warmer Spring day! Inspired by the sun and the ephemeral blooms, I made an early Spring outfit for an Elf. Light colours, blooms and a bit of visible blue sky reflect the mood perfectly. I have been using some of the Kinta items in my latest outfits, and find them very versatile. They fit the “Elvish” look (of course, because the Kintai are Elves) […]

Another Elf

January 31, 2026 by Cosmetic Lotro

Umbar and Harad have some lovely cosmetics available that fit most characters. The pieces are refined and well designed, and I am grateful for the Lotro Team that they continue to progress and provide original and beautiful armour pieces. Some of these pieces are versatile and can be matched to older style armour and outfits. My elf has updated a robe that originates from older content with a few newer pieces.A somber ensemble, suitable for a time of year when […]

Tangled allegiances

November 21, 2025 by Cosmetic Lotro

Belondor is one of the characters from the Umbar story-line. His allegiances and motivations are complex and not one-sided. You can fight him as an opponent in a raid, he appears in the epic questline as a companion, and he has his own personal story-line to resolve in Dâr Laja. However you feel about this multifaceted character, if you do finish his personal questline (after you have first finished all three other Dâr Laja characters quests), you are rewarded with […]

Lasgalen heritage

November 13, 2025 by Cosmetic Lotro

As in some parts of the globe it is Springtime now, the Spring Festival has made a return appearance this year! I think it is quite fun to experience this season again, even though in my part of the world the leaves are falling off the trees. Spring Festival has some beautiful rewards, well worth picking up. One of the older worthwhile cosmetics is the Lasgalen Spring Dress. I think it makes my high elf look dashing. The dress has […]

Back to the beginning

November 6, 2025 by Cosmetic Lotro

Hello everyone, thank you for being here! It has been nearly 4 years since my last blog post and I feel as if I am slowly waking up from a long slumber. I have not stopped playing Lotro, I didn’t even stop creating outfits or taking screenshots, however I have not had the energy and inspiration to post anything to my blog, or keep up with what is hot in the outfit community. Early this year when we had to […]

Fresh snow

January 1, 2022 by Cosmetic Lotro

I wish everyone a good and prosperous new year! I hope that your many adventures, either in Middle-earth or in your life, will bring you plentiful rewards and always a comfortable hobbit hole to return to. I have enjoyed seeing everyone’s winter outfits during the festival. It is so inspiring to see hobbits, dwarves and elves running their errands in Frostbluff on hobby-horses wearing warm furry cloaks while dragging along fluffy white rabbits, little yule trees and kegs. The Yule Festival […]

Winter knits

December 15, 2021 by Cosmetic Lotro

Wrapped up in very sturdy frost-proof armour and fashionable winter knits, Rosemae is ready for winter! Thanks to some very kind and dear kinmates who generously dumped their loot into my backpacks last year (Ibsus, Valk, Tallic, Jedy & Elle) I managed to obtain all armour pieces for all classes from the Anvil raid! These pieces are beautiful and unique. It’s a shame that none of the pieces can be dyed so I have to work with the base colours […]

Silent Night

December 10, 2021 by Cosmetic Lotro

Werric is a Hobbit Minstrel from Needlehole in the Shire. He loves to sing. He loves to play his fiddle. Especially the white fiddle that he won in a dart-throwing contest in the Green Dragon. Inspired by the preparations for the Yule Festival he is now practicing his Yule carols and songs. From early morning before breakfast until well after supper he sings his heart out with such fervour, that his neighbours have now threatened to feed him to the […]

Light from the Shadows

October 24, 2021 by Cosmetic Lotro

This Harvestmath Festival has not given us any new cosmetics. Though I understand that all the work has had to go into revamping the Legendary system, it still made me sad that this had to be at the expense of a new dress and a new horse. But I didn’t dwell on it for long, and decided to create something new with what I already had; and what I had was some raiding gear from the Balrog that I thought […]

Scout in Gondor

September 11, 2021 by Cosmetic Lotro

The Elves were a rare sight in Gondor during the War of the Ring. To most Gondorians they seemed like the stuff of legend, a fabled people from long ago. Superstition and distrust surrounding the Elves was more the norm than the exception. However a few more open minded Gondorians might have had a more nuanced opinion or even admiration for the Elves.Imrahil to Legolas about Elves: “So it is said in the lore of my land. Yet never has […]

Winners Retro Contest

June 3, 2021 by Cosmetic Lotro

Thank you to all who sent in screenshots of your outfits for the Retro contest! Thank you for all your kind comments, congratulations and personal messages. Outfitting is still a thing in LOTRO, and it turns out that the older pieces, especially from the Isengard expansion, are still incredibly popular.The participation in the contest was just enough to make it hard to pick my 10 winners. I really enjoyed reading your stories about how those outfits came together. I was […]
