Gold of the Royal City


No matter what part of Middle-earth I adventure into, there continues to be one place that is my favorite location: Edoras.

Edoras happens to be the capitol city of my favorite region of Middle-earth, and it is my opinion that LoTRO did justice to the beauty of the Mark.
The robe in this outfit is my absolute favorite robe I've ever come across in-game. The design of it is flawless, and there is nothing I can say other than that it is a simply gorgeous robe.

After the robe, I decided to use gold and silver as my colors. I thus chose a lovely silver circlet (though it is not fully a circlet..) and then went on to choose one of the best pair of shoulder guards in game (in my opinion.)

I finished off with a incredible and detailed pair of gauntlets, and a pair of simple boots.
Head: Rune-maker's Hat (white dye) Skirmish camp classic barter
Shoulders: Ceremonial Shoulders of the Lady's Defense (white dye) Lalia's Market barter
Chest: Tattered Robe of the Dunland Sage (gray dye) Dunland quest reward
Hands: Gloves of the Tireless Sentinel (white dye) Dunland barter
Feet: Nightshade Boots (white dye) Dunland quest reward

Warsteed:
Hide: Brindle War-steed (white dye)
Tail: Metal Braided Tail (black dye)

I quite liked this screenshot, so I decided to include it.

    Luxurious silvers and golds in your outfit...definitely provides a feel of nobility :)

    Wonderful use for those shoulders. I've yet to find a way to use them in an outfit without feeling out of place. This too is one of my favorite robes in the game and I probably should use it more often. Rise of Isengard provided us with the highest quality in artwork and cosmetics. No odd clipping or making legs looks like wet spaghetti noodles. If only more robes were released with that expansion as landscape drops or quest rewards.

      Thank you very much! I was definitely trying to go for a royal look.

      Rise of Isengard cosmetics are the best I've seen in-game, and it's a shame that we haven't gotten more cosmetics that are just as pretty in recent updates in expansions.

Bleak as Winter - Region Series Part V

Image
When I was posting on this blog on a consistent basis, the  Region Series  was my favorite series I've ever worked on. I also had two other series' on this blog,  Crafted Sets with Cosmetic Value  and  Matching A Steed , but the region series was truly my favorite. There's something so magical about taking a region, an entire region, and trying to form an outfit inspired by that region. It is truly a difficult task. Every single region is so unique and diverse, and while it may maintain the same general feel, every single village or homestead within that region each has its own flair. It's odd that I chose Wildermore as the region to bring back this series with. All in all, it is one of my least favorite regions in the game. It is beautiful, yes, but it is incredibly desolate and forlorn. Even Forochel, just as snowy and bleak, has more activity and homeliness to it than Wildermore does.  I began this outfit with the shoulders; I was oh so close ...

Dragon Scale

It's been such a joy as of late to working on outfits again. Nowadays, whether I'm running dailies or doing quests or really doing anything in game, I'm constantly thinking about what sort of outfits I could do inspired by the region I'm in, or what sort of screenshots I could take. When I took my blog hiatus I focused so much on getting a character to cap (which I was able to do.. twice), and then gearing said characters for end game content. Even though both characters aren't tier 2 ready yet, it's been very fun having different things to work on in game, not just leveling and gearing.  This outfit is fully based around the absolutely beautiful Draigoch cloak my friend and fellow cosmetic blogger Nathrien so kindly gifted me.  In comparison to the cloak, I wanted everything else to be simple, or at least I tried. I got really distracted by how amazing the Doom-hunter's shoulders are and just had to include them in the outfit, and I think they...

Spring in the Sutcrofts

 Being below level cap definitely has its drawbacks, not being able to actually feel safe in higher level areas, not having access to all cosmetic pieces, and many more, but I have found that even being in the mid-60's level wise, I can get access to almost all of the things I could get at level cap, including journeying into Rohan... and almost western Rohan. I started looking around Middle-earth for a proper place for this outfit, one that would compliment the outfit with overpowering it, but nothing seemed to work. The Shire had too many flowers, and all places that were white had snow. So, I was about to give up on this outfit. But, Mak's adopted mother (and part-time travel agent and pilot), brought me down to Rohan, and right there, in Rohan, was the perfect scenery. It's been two days since I took these screenshots, and I haven't left Snowbourn. All's well.  As it is coming into summer time, this season also means wedding time, and the thought of...
