Summer night

August 14, 2020 by Cosmetic Lotro

The Midsummer Festival was incredible. I loved all the cosmetics and housing items, and find myself with no less than three new dresses in my wardrobe! As my real life summer holiday is coming to an end, it’s time to post some of the ensembles that I have been using these past few weeks. I fell in love with the default color of this dress. It is very pretty dyed in other colors as well, but I go back to […]

Homestead land

June 28, 2020 by Cosmetic Lotro

Ever since the introduction in beta of the upcoming new housing areas in West Rohan, there has been much discussion on the forum about all aspects of these new homesteads. While people all have different opions and concerns about the design and landscaping (some that I agree with), I am sitting here like “can we speed this up already?”. I love all cosmetic and “trivial” aspects of the game, and housing is no exception. While I am not super fond […]

River-folk

June 20, 2020 by Cosmetic Lotro

It is being rumoured that SSG may be releasing a new Hobbit race in a future expansion. After the High Elf and the Stout-axe Dwarf it would be wonderful to have these Stoor Hobbits from the Anduin river added to our playable races. Of course the most famous River-hobbit was Gollum, but there are many of these hobbits living near the Gladden Fields. The latest expansion, Mists of Wilderland, leads into a secluded village beyond a steep and hidden mountain […]

Lonely traveller

June 7, 2020 by Cosmetic Lotro

One of the followers of this blog made a comment wondering if I was going to take a long break from blogging again. Every so often I take breaks from playing Lotro, but never for longer than a month. So in effect I am always around in Middle-earth somewhere, even if only doing festival quests or redecorating my house. I am making new outfits all the time using quest rewards or festival cosmetics, but truth be told I am usually […]

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 […]
