Show us your favorite cosmetic outfit

Haha. Should be fixed and stay fixed (moved them to a different album after linking)

Yup, all better now. And my post is gone, accordingly.

So... love the way you can really create your own look in the game. But a quick question... my guardian is a Rohirrim, so I wanted to give him a nice Rohiric-looking armour. Any idea how can I obtain that?

Well, somewhere in the game is an amazing looking Rohan helmet. It supposedly drops off of mid-30s mobs, but it's extremely rare

Coruthir Aurithil

Many have mentioned how they gathered the various pieces they wear. For Coruthir it was rather easy. With the exception of the helm (Elven Light Helm) and the boots (Elven Leather Boots) all of his garb comes from the Elf Intro quests. The "Worn Elven..." set, so to speak.

I have another outfit for rainy days that's pretty much just the long ranger's robe and a plain hooded cloak but I'll be adjusting that quite a bit once the store opens.

I've got the hood on my lvl 32 RK, as seen here-



(She also purchased basic riding AND the Annuminas horse. )

And she also apparently purchased the Hauberk of Glory, previously only available from the Amartheil attacks of yore (which were pre-Moria, therefore pre-RK) and a very rare drop from the level 50 battle instances out of Gath Forthnir?

On the one hand, I only got that Hauberk on two of my characters, and I love the look of it, so it's kinda exciting that it will be available for purchase. On the other hand, I did kind of enjoy how rare it was. And the memories of battle Amarthiel that it brought up every time I saw it. Oh well.

EDITED: Or wait!!! I just realized that it's a cosmetic, and can therefore go in the wardrobe, thus all your toons can wear it!!! Dang! Nice. (Ignore my previous blithering.)

[Cloudie-wan]

I love and adore the Dragonfly Cloak on the beta, and it will most likely be one of the first things I use my TP to buy on live (after more bank space and stat tomes).

I put together this outfit from stuff in my vault to match the cloak, which I dyed Burgundy. I think it's my new favorite outfit. <3

That is VERY nice. That's a low level vendor/drop shirt, right? Looks awesome with those shoulders covering the top. I almost didn't recognize it.

Great job!
Are the shoulders Minstrel gear?

[Jadzi]

Yup. Most of that set is the Annuminas light armor, with a plain cotton shirt and the Minstrel shoulders from the Watcher sets. Looks good!

[Cloudie-wan]

Yup, what Jadzi said! I believe the shirt is a tier 1 crafted item. It's also available in a short-sleeved version. Yes, the shoulders are the Minstrel Watcher shoulders and the other pieces are the Annuminas light armor. I can't wait to put this together on my live character. ^_^

So... love the way you can really create your own look in the game. But a quick question... my guardian is a Rohirrim, so I wanted to give him a nice Rohiric-looking armour. Any idea how can I obtain that?

You can do it fairly easy with the vendor supplied cosmetics and armours.

For ideas, you can browse Regia Anglorum, one of the more famous groups reenacting the Anglo-Saxon period culture that the Rohirrim are based off of.

For what's available in-game, Darzil's Guide is the best that I know of.

It shows you Turbine's one idea of what they think Rohirrim should look like with the Armour of the Sun Lands. But I don't think that was Floon or any lead designer's work. I suspect an intern. And drugs. Lots of them.

Body: My preference is first the hauberks, second the belted robes, and third the knee-length tunics (not the jeans and vest combos).

Cloaks: Most of the vendored cloaks are decent enough. For the crafted cloaks, I prefer the Heavy Cloth, Linen, Heavy Quilted, Loose Linen, Cotton, Heavy Cotton, Explorer's, Loose Explorer's, Pristine, Padded Pristine, and Torhammas cloaks for Rohirrim.

Helms: many of the Dwarven helms are the best, the rounded ones, not the cylindrical ones (light, med, and heavy all use similar models).

Shoulders: I prefer the medium Man and Dwarf shoulders.

Gloves: I've always preferred the medium gauntlets.

Boots: The medium Bree-land styles are usually, the best. The Bree Outfitter has the best selection of styles.

Last but not least, don't forget the hair. In all Tolkien's works, the Rohirrim were described as having long-hair worn in braids and beards. We may not have as many options as the Dwarves (or Elves) in that area but we still have a decent selection. I forget if Tolkien got into it in his writings but the issue with hair and beards was that in pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon (and most other Germanic) cultures short hair was the mark of a slave and being beardless was the mark of a child.

Yeah, I've been trying to get that one for my Guardian for nearly three years. I've done every humanoid-slayer deed in the zones it's supposed to drop in (save Fornost) somewhere between two and five times and I've never seen it.

According to the Lorebook, it's a drop and medium armour. But everyone who has it and has posted on the forums (and those that I've met in-game) had a heavy version from the 25-token GV chest and they all got it pre-MoM when the turn-in quest was level 45. I don't know of anyone who's ever gotten it as a world-drop or since the turn-in quest was raised to 55.

Shame. One of the best in-game Rohirrim-themed helms.

(Ok, it's the only Rohirrim-themed helm)

Just curious, does this mean that the other Esteldin cosmetic items that have been super rare and pretty much unattainable for literally years will also be purchasable now? Cloak of Vigilance, Cloak of the Steadfast, and some backpack that I can't remember the name of were the other three (with the aforementioned hauberk)?

I've been wanting the Cloak of Vigilance for years since I saw it on the vendor, but was never able to get it.

Just for clarification, I did not purchase that, and they are not purchasable. I had it on my main character, and put it in my cosmetic wardrobe, that's all.

Oh darn, well thanks for the clarification

If his skin was darker, he'd be a dead ringer for the Sherrif of Megaton from Fallout 3. heh

sorry can't be a sheriff without an adventurer's hat, it's the law.

Edit: Woah... you deleted your post as I was replying to it


That was weird.

Not to mention the fact that a burglar sheriff is a total contradiction

Still can't be a sheriff without a cowboy hat, not to mention a LAWGIVER'S robe

[tim]

I like the appearance of the Lawgiver's robe, I think it would look great on my Minstrel can someone tell me direct me to where it is available.

I like the look I came up with for honorary shirriff / bounder. Even has something of a badge on the chest / arms.

[Calabar]

That does look good. The boots are from the skirmish vendor I believe. The same with the hat or its the dusty version from the winter festival. The chest piece looks familiar, but I can't place it. And I don't recognize the gloves at all.
