On higher ground

October 8, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

With all the new Minas Morgul cosmetics coming out and being shown around, this outfit instantly became very “old school”, even though I made it recently. I continue to enjoy older sets and designs, even as time progresses and we are now adding weapon glows to our cosmetic options. I am fine with all those things and I will integrate the Minas Morgul sets into an outfit at some point. Still the more simple and perhaps a tiny bit more […]

Reed fishing

September 21, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

I felt it was time for another dress outfit, as I haven’t done one in a while, and since the weather is still sunny I was inspired to do something a little more charming using a dress and soft pastel colors.The Straw Hat with Ribbon is just the perfect accessory to the Picnic Dress, and the shoulder piece from the Farmer’s Faire completes the homey look. I am in the process of reorganizing my cosmetic vault space, deleting duplicates and […]

Shipwrecked Mariners

September 15, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

‘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 […]

At the lake

August 23, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

This outfit has been lingering in my library for a while and now that I have returned from my Summer vacation it’s time to post it! I haven’t gotten back into playing Lotro a lot yet. I did some Farmer’s Faire festival quests, purchased all new cosmetics but haven’t found the courage to try any of the new content yet. I think when Summer is really over and the days start getting longer, I will be playing more again and […]

Figments

July 6, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

figment [noun] 1. a mere product of mental invention; a fantastic notion. 2. a feigned, invented, or imagined story, theory, etc. Oh yes, I’m talking about those ‘Figments of Splendour”, the currency that is used to buy various cosmetic items from barters at the Fountain in Bree. It was previously announced that Filbert Fig would be a seasonal vendor (https://www.lotro.com/en/forums/showthread.php?&postid=7924791#post7924791). It was not further specified what season that would be or how long that season would last, but with update […]

Assigned elsewhere

July 1, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

Playing through the Black Book of Mordor in the Vales of Anduin, I was rewarded with various pieces of armour. The same appearance is also available from the Wilderfolk barter at Kindred status. I like all the pieces, especially the heavy and medium ones. I love the fact that these are single pieces for chest and leggings, rather than the endless onesies that we have been seeing the past (how many?) years. In fact I can’t remember the last time […]

Galadhrim Warden

March 30, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

The Wardens of Lórien were elven patrols that operated in small groups. They defended the borders of the Golden Wood against the forces of Moria and Dol Guldur. This outfit took a while to come together. It has gone through many adaptations and colours, until I finally settled on this one. In terms of lore I am not sure where it fits, but then that is an issue with many if not most outfits and armour pieces. Lothlórien wardens would […]

Lady of the Star-brow

March 11, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

Erendis “All or nothing, Erendis,” said Núneth. “So you were as a child. But you love this man, and he is a great man, not to speak of his rank; and you will not cast out your love from your heart so easily, nor without great hurt to yourself. A woman must share her husband’s love with his work and the fire of his spirit, or make him a thing not loveable. But I doubt that you will ever understand […]

Lord of Ships and Havens

March 11, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

Aldarion He was the eldest child and only son of Tar-Meneldur, and he was born in the year 700. He ruled for 192 years, and surrendered the sceptre to his daughter in 1075; he died in 1098. His “right name” was Anardil; but he was early known by the name Aldarion, because he was much concerned with trees, and planted great woods to furnish timber for the shipyards. He was a great mariner and ship-builder; and himself sailed often to […]

Seeds of Spring

March 5, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

Yes it is starting to look like Spring! Time for dresses! I am browsing through my collection of dresses trying to find inspiration for warmer weather outfits. This outfit was my first attempt for this year. Lately some dress designs have appeared that allow for shoes to be used, which offers a bit more flexibility in terms of outfit design. However boots do not work as they clip through the dress. Also, these footless dresses are a bit longer which […]

Vivid

February 27, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

My outfit inspirations come from many different sources. Most of the time I start out with a single piece of armour that I decide to “build an outfit” with. Some of these pieces can be really challenging, and very often I find myself discarding a piece altogether when I am unable to use it successfully. Many pieces remain in my vault for months or even years waiting for the right inspiration. In this case, I started with the chest piece. […]

The dark shore

February 23, 2019 by Cosmetic Lotro

“But in the end it’s only a passing thing, this shadow; even darkness must pass.” The Mirk-eaves, the landing right after Lothlórien, is a dark place indeed, and as you proceed further into Mirkwood, it only gets darker. It is a relief that after the destruction of the Ring, when we leave Mordor, we get to help set things right and heal the forest from the shadows. Nevertheless even the darker side of early Mirkwood has a beauty and a […]
