Off Duty


The idea behind this outfit is a soldier or a guard who is off duty, and decides to wander the town and browse.

Also, I'd like you all to meet my new alt, Erchelm! After heartily enjoying Othelm (my race of man mini) on beta, I decided to make a physically similar character on my main server.
The main colors I tried to base the outfit around are steel blue and silver, with the silver coming from the accents on the pieces.

The only downside about this outfit on a race of man is because of the length of the hauberk, you will experience a bit of cutting with the boots.

The hauberk is definitely my favorite part of the outfit. I used this hauberk quite recently in a different outfit, but its too cool not to use multiple times.


The gloves were chosen next, because they dye fairly well, but keep a hearty, strong feel. The boots are an absolute favorite of mine, with a very unique design.

I finished off with the shoulder guards, which are a simple silver base.




Shoulders: Lesser Enduring Pauldrons of Fate (steel blue dye) - World drop
Chest: Hyrde-breost (steel blue dye) Dunland epic quest reward
Hands: Vibrant Calenard War Gauntlets (steel blue dye) heavy crafted tier 7
Feet: Dreng-gesc (steel blue dye) Dunland epic quest reward

    A wonderful outfit, Makaia! That chest piece (hauberk, robe, or something between the two) is one of my favorite Dunland cosmetics. It's very versatile and always dyes nicely. It's also one of those rare pieces I find both fashionable and combat-ready. I've never used it on a male character before, so I had no idea it would be longer than the female's version. Could have sworn that trend started with the Helm's Deep skins!

    Keep 'em coming :)

      Thank you so much, Nathrien!

      Agreed, the hauberk (or maybe it is a robe?) is one of my favorites.

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...

Winds of Frost

It has been quite sometime, two and a half months to be exact, since I last posted. There have been a lot of contributing factors as to why I haven't posted, but the main reasons why were 1. I mentally needed a break. 2. I haven't had much inspiration lately. I feel like I should only be posting outfits that are worthy of recognition, and if I kept cranking out weekly outfits, they wouldn't be the high quality that I expect from myself. In the month of December, I decided to do something I had never done before: purchase a quest pack. You might be curious why I never purchased one before, but it was mainly a money and commitment issue. With the purchase of the Quad Expansion pack, the amount of gorgeous cosmetic pieces I gain access to is immense. I am very happy with the pieces I have been able to add to my cosmetic library. As for the outfit, it was inspired by Frostbluff. Frostbluff is the home of my absolute favorite festival in-game, and I wanted to do ...
