Autumn shades

October 14, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

Of all the seasonal outfits that I have created since starting this blog in early 2011, Autumn outfits are probably the most prominent. It is my favorite season of the year, and the Trollshaws have exactly what it takes to get in the mood. So for this year I had to stop by the area and create one more Autumn outfit yet again. The Harvestmath Festival should be starting by the end of this month. I’m eagerly checking the calendar […]

The rose

October 10, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

“On all her breezes borne, Earth yields no scents like those; But he that dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose.” ― Anne Brontë I was finally bold enough to make a rose coloured outfit! I’m so proud, ha ha. I have always pretty much avoided rose dye. I think it makes most armour look like Barbie clothes and I’m not playing Hello Kitty but Lotro. Actually my female characters all wear mostly earthen colours like umber, […]

Woodland ranger

September 24, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

Yesterday was one of those days that I felt really nostalgic about Lotro and wanted to make (yet another) ranger outfit. I know ranger outfits are a bit redundant as there are already thousands of ranger outfits out there, but I really wanted my champion to look the part. My champ is the last of my four endlevel characters that has yet to hit level 85, and I want to get him there before Helm’s Deep launches. But in order […]

Yarr!

September 19, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

“Nooooooooooo!” “Foundered off the coast of Barandalf and no one around to help…” “And those bandits on the other shore are crawling all over the place wrecking my kegs!” “This looks bad. Really really bad…” “Thankfully one of the kegs survived the wreck!” “There’s nothing that a proper dwarven ale cannot solve!” Enjoy your own Tale of the Shipwrecked Mariner and make sure to get your Pirate Outfit! Head: Feathered Felt Hat, default dye (Lotro store cosmetic) Shoulders: Supple Wildermore […]

Bounty

September 17, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

My home server Snowbourn finished the Bounder’s Bounty yesterday! Congratulations to all who participated and worked hard to donate those tokens! There was a celebration at the statue when the boon appeared, people were dancing, playing music and lighting fireworks. Even on a non-role-playing server there was a real party! My hobbit is now the proud owner of a Steed of Michel Delving (which includes the war-steed cosmetic set) and wears the Bountiful Bounder’s title. The matching war-steed cosmetics cannot […]

Plentiful

September 7, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

I think the regular Steed of Plenty is incredibly dull, but fortunately its caparison dyes very nicely so I decided to spice up its colours a bit on my warsteed to make it look more bountiful. The 120 tokens are not hard to accumulate, with only a couple of hours play you should be able to get this, which I think is wonderful as I can get it on all my warsteed riding characters. In my view the robe is […]

Beneath notice

August 15, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

Well there’s not much news to report about Lotro lately, so I really have no idea what we can expect in terms of (pre-order) outfits and the Helms Deep expansion looks. I must admit I am rather curious and getting a little impatient. Meanwhile I am keeping myself busy with other things, dressing up my alts or even playing a level or two. So here’s my hunter in a new outfit. In addition I would like to point you to […]

All for one

July 28, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

I know that it’s not at all lore-appropriate to run around Middle-earth looking like a Musketeer, but since I am a hopeless romantic I just had to make my own Comte d’Artagnan. I originally made my male Champion to sort of look like Aragorn, but ever since I created him some four years ago I have used him to look like more or less any attractive man that I could think of. I’m convinced that many male MMO players create […]

Summer afternoon

July 26, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

The good part of the Summer Festival in my opinion is that Turbine has offered us an enjoyable festival without too much of a steep grind to obtain our items. Just like the Spring Festival, the amount of tokens needed for a horse or the (war-steed) cosmetics is well within reason. This makes it fun for me to participate with all my characters without feeling like I’m doing something I should not be doing. So far 3 of my characters […]

Equinox

May 23, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

Just when I think I’m done posting for a while because there’s not enough time in the day, I get distracted by this awesome Spring Festival war-steed Caparison that is just begging me to be used in a screenshot. This most outrageous neon-green color has me completely fascinated, so here it is. The dawn gave me just enough time to capture a few worthwhile screenshots of my latest dark and mysterious night elf outfit. There’s no shot of the backside […]

Power of Words

April 14, 2013 by Cosmetic Lotro

Players have addressed me with questions regarding the mannequin outfits which I would like to answer in this post, hoping to clarify some issues that players seem to be concerned about. 1. Why did the mannequin outfit prices go up from 20mc to 50mc? Answer: my best guess is that the original price of 20mc was incorrect. Mannequin outfits used to cost 775TP before update 9, which is closer to 50mc than to 20mc. In my opinion, the price of […]
