The Wandering Minstrel

Somewhere in Middle Earth roams a lone minstrel.

She plays tunes that lightens the spirits of all the weary travelers she encounters.

She is wearing:

Ceremonial Circlet of the Seven Stars (Dyed Ered Luin Blue)

Supple Great River Pauldrons of Vitality (Dyed Ered Luin Blue)

Footman's Armour (Dyed Ered Luin Blue)

Strong Eastemnet Combat Leggings (Dyed Ered Luin Blue)

Tursur-Lhopan (Dyed Ered Luin Blue)

Red and Blue

Just a few days ago, I was doing Grand Stair to work towards my black goat for finishing the Moria meta deed. This cloak dropped and I decided to keep it as I liked the look. I had a similar cloak at one point but trashed it after not coming up with any ideas. Well, I was opening loot boxes and a hauberk that I've seen but not owned was inside. Low and behold, they match almost too perfectly. I tried it on Andadrien, but I didn't like the look. I thought it might look better on a male character, so off to log on to Andadarthir, my level 20 Rune Keeper and only male character.

Andadarthir is wearing:

Dorchol (Dyed Red)

Hauberk of the Eagle's Crest (Dyed Crimson)

Hardened Elven Officer's Potent Boots (Dyed Crimson)

The One Fund

Yesterday, LOTRO released The One Fund Cloak. This is in support of The One Fund which was created in the wake of the Boston Marathon's bombing. Turbine is located in Boston, and I know many people were affected by this - even I had a family member who was just seconds over the finish line when the explosion occurred.

The One Fund is a charity to help those most greatly in need after this event. Click on the icon below to go to LOTRO's page about this fund and the cloak and how you can help.

Here is a shot of Andadrien donning the cloak in Bree:

I kept it simple, so the cloak could be the focus.

The dress is the Elf-Queen's Dress dyed Sea Blue.

The White Swan

I hadn't made a white outfit, and when I acquired the Swan Cloak, I figured it was obviously the perfect thing to make a white outfit with. I like this outfit because it goes with Andadrien's look of not getting dirty. She is wearing all white with a touch of blue and a bit of gold. 

I also think this is good for those who role play. After  I made this outfit, my mind went back to an outfit I had seen on someone else's blog or a cosmetics related thread where someone posted about how they had an in-game wedding. I don't remember where I saw that, but when I look at this outfit, I think about that. You get your "something blue" with the detailing on the dress and with the circlet.

And the back:

This outfit is made up from:

Gossamer Dress (Dyed White)

Swan Cloak

Glorious Tactical Pauldrons of the Galadhrim (Dyed White)

Turquoise Summer Circlet


EDIT:
I ended up switching out the circlet for one of the skirmish camp cosmetic circlets. It's white and gold, and I think it meshes better with the white and gold of the shoulders.

Blue

Darror wanted a blue outfit. So I made him one for his birthday a while back.

Here is Darror wearing his outfit and barefooted, as usual. I would have completed the look with a pair of boots, but he wouldn't have worn them. For some reason I can't explain, he never wears shoes. He actually told me to make him outfits that he could wear without shoes...

And here is the back:

He was in a raid on an alt of his when I posted this. Next time I see him on his main, I will update this to say what this outfit is comprised of.

A Trip up Iorbar's Peak!

I was doing Iorbar's Peak last night with Aegelrod and Belgor when I noticed that we all looked really good.

Belgor who is front and center is wearing on of the Hytbold sets for the captain which I think looks really nice, but you will probably see a lot of other captains wearing this. So if you choose to wear it, there is your pro and your con.

I am wearing the outfit I discussed on this post.

Unfortunately, you don't get a good look at Aegelrod's outfit (on the right) in the screenshot I grabbed. I think it looks really nice. I was, however, able to try the items on in the dressing room and this is how they look on Andadrien:

 He is wearing Grey Company Cosmetics:

Fine Grey Company Tunic

Fine Grey Company Wrap

Fine Grey Company Gauntlets

Fine Grey Company Boots

Dark Rider

This is Andadrien's Dark Rider outfit. It's perfect for riding in the dark swiftly and deftly without being seen.

To re-create this outfit, you will need:

Circlet of Men

Sellsword's Hauberk (Dyed Navy)

Ceremonial Wig-feld (Dyed Navy)

Elven Steel Gauntlets (Dyed Navy)
Elven Steel Boots (Dyed Navy)
