Show us your favorite cosmetic outfit

So I finally got my Woodland Ranger's outfit! Woot! So I thought I'd try a Middle-earth version of the Arrow TV show costume:

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...safc7644e.jpeghttp://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...ps279022e7.jpghttp://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...psff21ce21.jpg


Head: Woodland Ranger’s Hood (Rivendell Green)
Shoulders: Traveler’s Road-worn Mantle (Rivendell Green)
Back: Fine Elven Quiver (Rivendell Green)
Chest: Westemnet Skirmish Armour of Determination (RivendellGreen)
Hands: Dolen-Lhaw (Rivendell Green)
Legs: Ceremonial Thrill-seekers’s Leggings (Rivendell Green)
Feet: Scout’s Weathered Leather Boots (Rivendell Green)

I've been running about in Moria, and specifically Water Works and Filikul. Got a few items that inspired this outfit.

I present Karvett Logsplitter- ThirdAge Militant Noglond TurtleFoe (T.M.N.T. Yeah, I went there. :) )

"In order to hunt the great turtle, you have to become the great turtle." - Karvett

--The pieces--
Head: Boar Festival Mask (Ranger Green)
Shoulders: Elven Soldier's Shoulders - T4 Crafted (Olive)
Back: Sea-Turtle Pack - Lotro Store (default)
Chest: Sentinel's Armor T6 crafted - (Olive)
Hands: Elven Soldier's Gloves - T4 Crafted (Olive)
Legs: Leggings of the Arnorian Holdfast - Evendim Guard Set (Olive) Shares appearance with several different dwarf style leggings.
Feet: Barrow-Warrior's Boots - GB set, Skirm Vendor (Olive)
Sword: Guardian's Filikul Sword of the Second Age (Turtle raid drop) Westernesse Dmg for the nice green shimmer.
Sheild: Heavy Shell Shield (Turtle raid drop)

FYI - Noglond is where the Guardians go for the level 50 class quest gear... and it happened to start with "N". So it fit perfectly. :D

I wanted to reply with a 'this outfit would only be complete with the proper headgear, that is, if it can be dyed'; and started searching the cosmetic blogs and the forum. It took ages - probably more than an hour - until I managed to find a posting that contained this specific piece. Google wasn't really helpful; it has a reference, but only to the *OLD* Lotro forum, and if you click the link in the pictures gallery, you get an error because 'the page does not allow to be loaded into a frame' (or rather, everything went to another place and Google didn't notice at all. Go figure.)

So after a lot of tedious work, I could only retrieve this:
https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthr...24#post6518424
which says, that the equipment is crafted. And that's it, no details or specifications.

Sometimes you just hit a brick wall...

Edit: One more hour, and I have finally identified this thing. It is the Skirmish Helm of the Mark, if the recipe is bartered from the Sutcrofts reputation vendor, or the Combat Helm of Eomer, if the recipe is bought from the Guild. And it doesn't really dye, especially the front part.


Greetings, Polymachos

I actually have outfits to last through September on my blog...and possibly longer.

I wanted to do this with my female elf in a different colour scheme a while ago. But the clipping isn't right. I wonder why, because I love the combination.

Anyway, this is my current favourite outfit.

Head: Ceremonial Circlet of the Seven Stars - dyed black
Shoulders: Ceremonial Storyteller's Fur-Lined Mantle
Chest: Ceremonial Robe of the Dunland Sage - dyed black
Hands: Ceremonial Leather Bracers of the Gentle Stag - dyed umber
Feet: Ceremonial Trapper's Leather Boots - dyed umber

I do too, but I don't know why that crafted robe has to sit so high on female characters. If it weren't for that, we could avoid that unnecessary clipping with the shoulders.

This week, I bring to you a cold weather outfit inspired by this lengthy bout with hot and humid weather. Nothing like a little virtual snow to bring some comfort!

My first attempt at a Gondorian/Swan Knight Soldier for my champ.

http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/...psf4e0501a.jpg

With this last update I was rather impressed with the appearances of the Nadhin armor sets, despite the fact I wanted new skins for the class armor (even so it is kind of interesting to see outfits posted on the forums to become in game armor sets) these new armor appearances provided the opportunity to bring back some old pieces of armor appearances to the wardrobe again :D (now to get the devs to bring back the old SoA weapon appearances /scheme). The look I was going for were a Swan Knight Captain and a Gondorian Archer (I'd say ranger but it doesn't seem earthy enough to be a ranger of ithilien).

*ps sorry about the bad quality I compressed the images to save time ^^;

This week's outfit, Secret Melody, is one I made in either late 2011 or early 2012. Being both classy and functional, this ensemble is great match for any light armored character.

Someone is wearing her Green Widow (Hat of the Concerned Elf and tattered dress in green) outfit!

Well, not quite, but the similarity is striking.

Greeting all~! This is Valkoinen from Imladris server with a few of my outfits.

First off: Middle Earth Barbie
This is Val's current outfit. I wanted to use the circlet of fresh-picked flowers that I got from the Faire recently.
More over, the Dwarf-make dress looks pleasantly feminine in rose. The gold borders also matches the cloak of the shining star (also in rose).
Now, by itself, this outfit looks cute and girly ...and rather springy really, so I'm about two seasons off haha...

http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/18/94/02/33/screen37.jpg

Then I went ahead and tried to create a matching war-steed outfit. The result was...well, let's say it matched, but it's a bit vomit-inducing.
Valkoinen and her steed together? Looks like a Middle Earth rendition of the Barbie doll. I think it has a lot to do with the sheer amount of rose for the caparison.

http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/18/94/02/33/screen39.jpg

And secondly, something decidely less... pink.
I wanted to try out a face mask, so I found the raven hood and went from there.
The navy colour of the raven hood matched with the cloak and in turn, the cloak's gold detailing matched the gold edges of the armour set (crafted lvl 56/60 I think)

Lastly, for this post anyway, is Ajokoira Amour.
Valkoinen, at long last, made kindred with the Lossoth. ...which means, cosmetics time! Originally, I was going to craft the actual Ajokoira amour set (the medium set didn't appeal to me as much), but then I found the option for cosmetic output, which I figured would be good if an alt wanted to wear it as well. Regardless, here's the outfit below. I replaced the shoulders and skipped the helmet since the snow beast horns are way cuter.

This week's feature is a combat-ready outfit designed for elves and Lore-masters of any race or gender, using the only heavy armor robe found in the game.

You can put an [img] in front of the picture URL, and an [/img] at its end - without spaces - and the line will display the content.

As Nathrien Estelenlaer posted an outfit with the Ancient Inlaid Breastplate, I decided to reply with my own take on this piece.
