Swan-maiden

December 15, 2018 by Cosmetic Lotro

Eärwen, mother of Galadriel, was known as the Swan-maiden of Alqualondë. The swan was an important bird in the tales of the Elder Days. Swans were sent by the Maiar to draw the ships of the Teleri over Belegaer to Aman without help of the winds. The Teleri thus especially came to revere swans, and named their city Alqualondë (the Swanhaven) and built their ships in swan-form. The new Yule Festival cosmetics lend themselves nicely for a Swan-themed outfit. Swans […]

Winter wear

December 11, 2018 by Cosmetic Lotro

It’s getting colder every day and I am ready for winter wear! Both in game and in real life actually. It hasn’t been snowing in my neck of the woods yet, but winter is definitely coming. Winter outfits in Lotro are never hard to find. There are lots of warm, comfy items available from Yule Festivals, Forochel and Wildermore and they all combine so well! I chose to combine some items with the new Ered Mithrin cosmetics. These cosmetics are […]

Smart

Legendary outfit My characters on the legendary server are pretty much burned out on the Harvestmath Festival encore. Of course the encore provides a wonderful opportunity for the Legendary Servers to catch up with some cosmetics, so I’m not complaining, but I’ve been running the quests back to back, just to make sure I collect enough tokens to get everything I want. Despite the plentiful options I ended up using only the Harvest Brew Hat for my little hobbit, but […]

Greenleaf

“He was tall as a young tree, lithe, immensely strong, able swiftly to draw a great war-bow and shoot down a Nazgûl, endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies, so hard and resistant to hurt that he went only in light shoes over rock or through snow, the most tireless of all the Fellowship.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Book of Lost Tales, Part Two No doubt many LOTRO players have tried to create their own version of Legolas over […]

Woodland elf

November 28, 2018 by Cosmetic Lotro

The inspiration for this Mirkwood elf outfit came from Gloredh’s wonderful blog Wandering Around Arda. Her concept of the Penni Tribe elf reflects everything I want to see in my own elves. So here’s my version of her outfit using only few adaptions. The outfit that Gloredh created is already perfect in itself, so all credits go to her. On a personal level I very much identify with the Avari elves, the outcast, the ones who stayed behind and didn’t […]

Into the mountains

November 25, 2018 by Cosmetic Lotro

It’s been a while since Update 23 was released and I have by no means finished all the quests as a result of playing on the legendary server. But as much fun playing on the legendary is, I never intended to stop playing on my regular server because that is where my collection of cosmetics resides, and I am not giving that up for anything! At least not permanently. So while working on the outfits for the Legendary Outfit series, […]

Hunting for vintage

November 18, 2018 by Cosmetic Lotro

Legendary Outfit Well, the hunt for vintage cosmetic items is really on now! Today my little minstrel on Ithil made it to level 20 which means… Rivendell! Rivendell has a number of Armour Smiths and a Cosmetics vendor that sell pretty items that I have always adored. So as soon as my character made it to 20 I visited Gandalf in the Prancing Pony who gave me a quest and teleported me to Rivendell. I cancelled the quest so I […]

Revival

November 15, 2018 by Cosmetic Lotro

Legendary Outfit When I posted my last outfit in december 2014, I didn’t think I would ever be returning to this blog. I was still creating lots of outfits in Lotro, amassing a crazy amount of items in storage, but I kept it all to myself. Actually making screenshots and posting them to my blog felt like a chore. I started to play more irregularly and didn’t completely keep pace with all the updates. At some point I stopped doing […]

Song for a Winter’s Night

December 13, 2014 by Cosmetic Lotro

The title for this outfit is taken from a song by Sarah McLachlan, singing about being alone on a winter’s night and longing for her loved one. The mood perfectly describes the loneliness one feels when traversing the Misty Mountains in Lotro. In the past people have complained that areas were unrealistic and non-immersive due to the large amount of players running around, but I assure you that going back to those older areas today, the absence of player life […]

Winter wilderness

December 10, 2014 by Cosmetic Lotro

As LOTRO has been taking it slow regarding expansions, we don’t get to see a lot of new armour designs anymore. I fondly remember the days of the Rise of Isengard expansion, where every quest would reward an awesome new piece of armour. I would choose my rewards based on looks, as stats never matter that much or can be obtained by using crafted armour. Cosmetics are permanent and sometimes only available from quests. The Helms Deep expansion did come […]

Encroaching winter

December 8, 2014 by Cosmetic Lotro

Hurray it’s snowing! Winter is here, although here in Europe I have not seen any snow yet. Many people are busy with preparations for the December month, including myself. Even LOTRO is preparing for winter and has released the Yule Festival on the Bullroarer server for testing. This allows us a sneakpeak into what is to come for the holidays and to my delight there will finally be a change of cosmetic design. This is for the first time since […]
