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.

I found a Level 59 Supple Bow with the skin I was looking for on the AH a couple of days ago...whether it is an old drop from someone's vault or a new one I can't say, but I do have my bow

Thanks again for your suggested drop areas.

I splurged, and am now content for the rest of my Lotro days. I got the middle-tier supporter pack and then when I saw the White City steed, I tried out dying the armor white and rest is history.

Very nice!

[auximenes]

Yeah, looks good.

Thanks for the compliments and thanks to SSG for making such cool armor. [especially since it doesn't clip like I've seen some full sets do]

I didn't want to wear the armor on my Beorning, so I went to put something else together and really liked the mix and match combo of the Pauldrons of the Lake-Town Watch and Breastplate of the Slayer's Raiment from the Keeper of Mysteries, so I got those. Didn't have the fragments for some boots or gauntlets, so I found the Westfold Battle Boots to work for the feet [though you can't see the boots all that much] and just needed some gloves. Bring in the Snow-dusted Traveling Gloves I had lying around and voila! You can't see the cape, but I wanted something ragged so I went with the Cloak of the Black Gate from Vol 4, Book 8, Chapter 7. I may or may not change it out for something else.



Edit: Don't want to add another post right after mine, so I'm just editing it into here.

I was entertaining myself with trying out different outfits and I think I'm ready to fight my way through Mordor.


Or to be a little more accurate...

I've just released a handful of cosmetic outfits made for some of my characters to attend this Harvestmath (blogpost link for whoever's interested)

Most of the pieces are Bright Company dyed white, the shoulders are Alliance of the Third Age, shield is Gleaming Shield and weapon is Malendols Sword


What started as an attempt to make a fitting outfit for Calenglads shield turned into this. I'm not sure about the white bits yet, but it does add a bit of brightness to an otherwise dark set.
Boots and Chest: Remembrance set from Anniversary. Grey dye.
Shoulders and Helm: Rift-defender, from Classic vendor at skirmish camp Gold dye.
Gloves: Sellsword's gloves. Grey dye.
Shield: Calenglads shield, from quest in Evendim

Background story for RP & more pics

[Kalonthar]

I made an all-white slightly modified version of the Flowing Silver armor from the BtS Ultimate Edition with the yule festival scarf and the Beast-Keeper's Shoulderpads and then went, "Hey, I should have 'matching' outfits with my horse!"


But let's get serious for a second. My favorite 'cosmetic outfit' is the Gollum Halloween costume. And yes, it's strictly because when my Warden goes to throw a javelin, 'Gollum' does a random t-pose and flings it out of thin air. I actually bought it on my Warden because of the run speed. The animation is just the hilarious bonus. I believe that's unique to the Gollum costume, but of course the other costumes I have are on different classes.

Way those shields pair with the outfits is awesome. I especially like the first one.

Actually looks like a resonable and realistic MC armour for a change. Did you try any other colour combos for it? How do they look?

Hello
Today i'd like to show you the cosmetic outfit i am most proud of.
It shows my Captain of Man, Hero of Lamedon, Leader in many battles, Orgilion, in his freshly polished battle armor.
Ready to battle the hordes of darkness and know your loved ones at home untroubled and safe.


It is composed of

• Pauldrons of the white Mountains
• Lamedon Cloak of Vigor
• Breastplate of the white Mountains
• Commanding war Fauntlets of the Deep
• Steel leggings of the white mountains
• Steel boots of the white Mountains
• Shield of Minas Tirith
• Captains sword of Legends

Except shield and sword all is dyed black.

The proud Gondorians of Calembel see their coat of arms best represented by him.


He rides the good-natured Lamedon Steed on excursions into Lamedon, Dol Amroth, and the Belfalas Coast.


But when it goes back into battle, his experienced war-steed is happy to leave the peaceful native pastures behind and carry him through the thick of battle.

This uses
Head-Piece of Lamedon
Caparison of Lamedon
Saddle of Lamedon
Flag of Lamedon
Solid War steed (dyed black)
Alliance of the third age Legs
Alliance of the third age Tail

Hopefully you`ll like the compilation as much as I do. I can't admire it enough.

Nice work.

I have an outfit based on that set on my Captain. It's dyed Sea Blue.

Wow, this picture in motion is really great, it shows why the mearas are so famous.
The armour, the warsteed cosmetics, the cloak and the stander fits very well, nice done.

Although I've retired from blogging and don't get to play LOTRO very often, I still find time to throw the occasional outfit together. Might come back at a later date with a list of pieces, but I'm content to just post the pictures.

Hi, I would like to share some the attires that I've made for my 3 characters during the last few months.
I acknowledge that the pictures are not great and the outfits probably look a lil bit better in game.
If you want to recreate them be aware that it might take a bit of time since some of the pieces require a good ammount of figments of splendor as well as waiting for vendors that only spawn on certain times of the year like the curator.
