Thanks for your answers, Jadzi!
That would be nice if it goes live.Quote:
(Also, I should note that as it stands now in Beta, the current restrictions on what you can add to the wardrobe are being removed. You'll no longer need to be able to equip a piece to add it. So, for instance, a soloing minstrel could find a piece of heavy armor they like and use it cosmetically. )
Thank You For Sharing Those !!! :)Quote:

HOWEVER I do like the the one on 2nd row, 5, 6 and 7 in ALOT. Looks like a really nice fitting helmet for middle-earth and an age of swords and bows. :)
Also like 1st row, 1, 2 and 3 in and 4th row 5, 6 and 7 in, a bit. Seems appropriate as well.
Oh well taste is still only taste, not facts and very personal.
In terms of medieval and early renaissance period costume history this batch of head gear is one of their more accurate ones. I like the helm in A2 (column A row 2) the best but none of the others are really all that out of place. The hats in A1, A4, B1, B3, and C are all pretty much straight out of costume history text books.Quote:

Personally, what I'd like to see for future "Light Armour" designs would be fewer caps and hoods and more circlets, diadems, and helms made from lattice work or horn. That is, helms made from bronze or iron frames with cow horn plates. Not helms with horns.
There are some really fabulous cosmetics in Rise of Isengard from simple yellow quest rewards, as others have shown. Here is an outfit I put together for my Minstrel.

I love the leggings and shoulders so much that I used them on my OTHER Minstrel, too!

Is that a re-sized OD shield? If so, boo!Quote:

I'm really pleased with the look of expansion items.
It is! LOL, I actually am quite glad I will no longer feel like I've stolen some poor hobbit's door...Quote:

The Lossoth reputation crafted gear recipes require certain rep to just buy the recipe and then the crafted gear pieces themselves require minimum Lossoth rep just to wear. This is the medium set, which isn't in the Turbine store (the light set is).
Ah, sorry, yeah, the chest, gloves and boots are all OD pieces for Burglars, while the rest of it is new.Quote:

That's the Lawgiver's Robe from the store with the Raven Mask and Cloak of the Raven from the halloween festival. I like this look for my burglar.
They really should consider making the raid gear as outfits. Just leave the newest of the newest for raiders to enjoy and stand out (if need be :p)Quote:

I'm sure there will be more runs once we start hitting 75. I've already talked to my DN raid group and we want to move on to BG, but it's too hard at the current level. We're mostly after the cosmetic aspect of the gear and the Meta-Deeds anyways.Quote:

Omg so hot, soo hot pink outift .. so hot!
Still quite a killer to farm those specific outfit pieces with alts that are only for specific classes. That's why ceremonial cosmetics would be good that there would be a optional way to obtain them .. because now you just - can't (well 99% of us)Quote:
