Show us your favorite cosmetic outfit

I'd like to share these ideas I've prepared for some of my characters to attend Yule. I have only shared one so far (on Twitter) but my goal is to make some time to finish writing the background stories in my blog. These pics add some mounts and pets matching the outfits.

Very nice and very Eregion-like!

I've been having a lot of fun again with yule outfits too. Is it just me or is yule festival the time when the best outfits come out?

This outfit is probably my favorite outfit I've ever used for an elf. I've done it in so many different colors and I still love it.

Didn't realize it's been so long since I posted, but a late thank you for all the kind words on my previous posts.

You know, one of the armor sets I really like is the Dar Narbugud armor for the Brawler.

But I've never been able to find the battle-gauntlets that go with it. I'm not even sure they're actually in the game. Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough.

I was disappointed to find there were no Moria armour sets for Brawler (not even a trainer in 21st Hall!) on Treebeard. Then I saw someone wearing this set and all was forgiven. It's truly stunning, and surprising to have a completely new skin. Thanks! I'm happy to use purple gear until I can get the DN set now.

I've the outfit breakdown in my blog if anyone's interested

Nice work. The pic of your garden gnome laying in front of the flowery bush is my favourite.

Thank ye kindly!

I've made these 4 outfits to attend Spring festival this year:
-Ostara
-Flora
-Heart of the Forest
-Vesna

You can find the outfits descriptions in the blog

For all intents and purposes, I'm still a retired cosmetic blogger. However, I shared with my Twitter followers today six unreleased outfits that were either incomplete, shelved, or scrapped. Not going to do a breakdown of the pieces seen, but I thought I should at least share them here.

I have a 4K setup now, so these images had to be compressed for the forums. Pardon the atypical image quality.

I think I saw some elvish-looking battle-gauntlets when I looked through my weaponsmith's recipes after brawler came out.

They come from pre-Moria levels if I remember correctly.

close up of the bow. I really like it and the ornament on it does fit the quiver pretty well, I think.

Head: Radagast's Hood - Beorning starting armour (beware- look depends on gender)(walnut brown)
Shoulder: Embroidered Mantle of Bards Honour - Northern Strongholds questreward (black)
Chest: Examplary Jacket of the Anorien Tree - Minas Tirith vendor (walnut brown)
Back: Quiver of the Waking Wood - Anniversary vendor
Gloves: Dúnadan Workman's Cuffs - session plays of Wildermore epic (grey)
Boots: Boots of Thranduils Cunning - quest reward Northern Strongholds (umber)
Bow: Supple Bow world random drop, very rare model, maybe there is a classic unique bow with this design.
dagger: Oakheart's Dagger - Garth agarwen questreward

I have been looking for the Bow in this post, but have so far been unsuccessful. I read that it was the same skin as the "Supple Bow" but had one drop in Moria and it was not the same skin Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I wish I could help you, but I fear the world random dropping supple bows get a random model. Most of the time it is the antler kind of bow. All I can tell is that this supple bow dropped for my beorning around moria or lorien and I haven't seen it drop again. Maybe there is a unique bow with the same model.

I'll keep checking different drops then.

Thanks

That bow is going to be painful to find, given how old it is. With the changes to loot tables over the years, zone revamps (especially Moria), and considering those pics were from 2018, you might want to consider that bow might not be available anymore. That being said, I have a list of rare-quality bows that share that same skin:

Ashwood Recurve Bow (level 75) - I'd guess farming the Pit of Iron or Nan Curunir in Dunland. Maybe the Easterling camps in the Brown Lands.
Bow of Bluffing (level 62) - Early Mirkwood areas, likely the Dourstocks or Drownholt areas. Sometimes DN drops trash loot above level 60.
Masterful Bow of Extermination (level 52) - It's likely loot tables in the Dolven-view or Durin's Way no longer contain this. Try the low level Moria resource instances.
Supple Bow (level 59) - Late areas of Moria and orc camps of Lothlorien are your best bet. Could also try the level 58 instances from Moria.
Supple Bow (level 63) - Like the Bow of Bluffing above, but expand farming area to Eryn Lum and Taur Morvith.
Swift Bow (level 54) - Likely that this has been removed from the Durin's Way and Silvertine lodes loot tables. Try some low level Moria resource instances.

Don't drive yourself too crazy, okay? These are longshots, but they do give you some alternative areas to farm orcs, goblins, uruks, and humanoids. I've chased this bow myself for my blog weapon collections, but with no luck.

Thank you so much for listing these areas for a potential drop. Of course, as you have said, the loot tables may have changed, but it does give me some options as to where and try and farm vs complete guess work.

Thanks again,

That is very kind of you, but I am on Gladden ever since Dwarrowdelf closed. I do truly appreciate your offer :)

I've built a bunch of outfits around the new Starlight Cloak - the outfit breakdowns are in the blog post in case you're interested in any piece in particular.
