Ranger of Snow & Frost


 Sometime ago, I made and posted an outfit titled Ranger of Smoke & Flame, and I now decided to make a follow up outfit, for the ranger who protects the colder areas of the world. This outfit features a base of grey and white, with subtle browns as highlights, which is good for blending in with snow, frozen ground, and wintry trees.
I began with the helmet. Acquired from a Dunland epic quest, this helm features a cloth base, with a metal plated face-piece.

The hauberk features grey, white, and browns, with stitching, chainmail, and belts.

The shoulder guards features browns, with a bit of grey, and a very unique pattern.

I finished off the outfit with simple chainmail gloves and a pair of platesteel boots.








Head: Leather Helm of the Leaping Stag - Dunland Epic quest
Shoulders: Shining Scale Shoulder Guards (grey dye) World drop
Chest: Lesser Dextrous Chestguard of Fate (grey dye) World drop
Gloves: Scale Gloves of Fleetness - world drop
Feet: Dextrous Boots of Penetration (grey dye) world drop

*both were acquired in the Auction Hall, and I cannot find any information regarding where they are from on lotro-wiki.

    This a great complimentary piece to your Ranger of Smoke & Flame, Makaia. Aside of the coloring, what I love the most is how plain, simple, and unrestrictive this is. Well done :)

    As for the chest and boots, I know where you can get those. They're either landscape drops/rewards from the Helm's Deep zones or you can barter for those skins at the skirmish camp's medium armor vendor (level 90 and 95 gear, I believe).

      Thank you so much! It is the simplicity that makes this outfit.

      Thank you also for that information! I will add that info to the post :)

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 ...

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...
