‘Ahoy there! I am First Mate aboard this ship — or at least I was until we were beset by a great storm! The ship sails up and down the Icebay providing much-needed supplies to the North. That work, though, was brought to an end with the storm. Our ship was grounded, the quartermaster and I were washed overboard, and our cargo lost. I know not if the Captain or anyone else survived the disaster.’

I slightly adjusted “The Tale of the Shipwrecked Mariners” to fit the land of Forochel, where I took the screenshots for these outfits. Next week Lotro will host another round of this small yearly event, which provides a good motive to create some piratey outfits with the cosmetic rewards. This event is non-Lotro lore and happens around a holiday known around the world as “International Talk Like a Pirate Day” on September 19 .

The cosmetic rewards for this event that you can barter for at Quartermaster Mindambeth during the days of the event, are only three pieces: a hat, an eyepatch and a hat-with-eyepatch. It would be nice if the rewards list would be pimped a little some day, maybe with an exotic parrot pet or a yarr! animation. However if you are new to Lotro or play on one of the legendary servers, these three items may be a nice addition to your cosmetics collection. Mind you that these items are bound to character, so get them on a character that has enough vault space to store them.
