Mourning


While questing in Western Rohan during beta, I came across a town called Morton. This town is located just across the Fords of Isen, and it had been pillaged and burned.

I hadn't before been planning on taking screenshots for the outfit I had created in this town, but suddenly the black and grey outfit seemed to make this man of Rohan apart of the town.
 Since that time, I had written a sob story of a role-play background for this man of Rohan, featuring him mourning for the loss of his village.

For this outfit, I started with a base of black and grey. The chest piece happens to have one of my favorite hauberk skins (and you should know my endless love of hauberks), featuring buckles and belts.

The gauntlets were fingerless, with a metal base, buckles, and small daggers on them. The shoulders are hardy and ready for war, and are of an incredible design.

I finished off with a simple but unique pair of black boots.



Shoulders: Hyrde-Axle (black dye) Dunland epic quest reward
Chest: Tempered Iron Hauberk (black dye) Dunland quest reward
Hands: Secret of the West Gauntlets (black dye) Burglar barter
Feet: Boots of the Gambler (black dye) Burglar barter

War-steed:
Body: Burglar's Caparison (forest green)
Tail: Long Metal Tail (black)
Hide: Solid War-steed (black)
Saddle: Burglar's Saddle
Gear: Assassin's Accessories

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...
