In the LOTRO musical circles nothing is more exciting or more daunting than a big festival. I love seeing the creative talents of other bands, especially those who play on different servers. This month a host of bands and musical groups came together on Crickhollow to share and entertain. This is my look at Shirefest 2014. – Thanks in advance to all those...

Hi Everyone,   I make this series one week ahead and usually publish them first to my blog. However this dress is on sale this week! So now it’s time for another Dress to Impress!   Welcome to the fourth instalment of Dress to Impress. A series of articles about the cosmetic dress options in Lord of the Rings Online. In this episode I have been...

Welcome to the third in this series of Dress to Impress. A series taking a closer look at LOTRO frocks! This week I have had a little help from my friends, and an outfit from each of my daughters. Today we have chosen the Summer Dress. It is available now at the Summer Festival, everyone can barter for this dress this week. The Summer Dress is available with...

This is yet another outfit put together during my live streams! Although this one I didn’t really take input on as I already had a pretty clear idea in my head of what I wanted. This is actually similar to an outfit that my low-level elf champion used to wear (before I deleted her!). I love a lot of the elven-style armour in LOTRO despite not playing...

This week’s outfit was my first outfit that I made over live stream! I’ve started doing live outfit streams at Hitbox on Sundays at 8PM EST. While making this outfit I had quite a few people chatting with me! It was really fun and I got some good input while putting together the outfit. I love the end result – this outfit is adorable! I love...

Hullo Tinki Followers, Last time we were searching for Tinki in Suri-kyla, in Forochel. Answers from Where’s Tinki? – Suri-kyla. Easy – Middle of the shot, standing before the waters edge in the shadows. Medium – Standing on the Bridge. A Challenge – There is a post just left to center of the screen shot. Tinki is in front of this post.   This is Tinki....

I was challenged on Twitter to make an outfit using Trech-helm. It’s an interesting Dunland quest reward – a grey hood with a partial face mask and only the face mask dyes. I accepted the challenge as I already use the piece in one of my Rune-keeper’s outfits. I love how this outfit fits into Lorien and Thinglad both color wise and...

I feel like I can never recommend Eregion as a zone enough. Although the quests there are pretty simple (Kill 10 x, Defeat Signature Mob Y, etc) I just love questing there. I think part of it is just that it’s simple to go from one hub to the next killing and gathering and moving on. The travel times between quest hubs and quest action areas (where you do...

Welcome to the second instalment of Dress to Impress. A series of articles which take a very close look at the cosmetic dress options in LOTRO. In this series I will be assisted by a pair of lovely daughters, who will be offering their own opinion of the dresses. Today we look at the Wash Day Dress. Available at the cosmetic item trader in Skirmish Camps. The...

Continuing with the Gondor theme for Update 14, this week’s outfit is for a Swan-knight in-training! Not a whole lot to say about this outfit that isn’t included in the video. I really wanted to make a swan-knight inspired outfit but I don’t have the full heavy Dol Amroth armour that looks like the swan-knight outfits. So instead I opted for...

Hello Everybody, I have had the most fun wandering in far places looking at different creatures. In recent times I have been in the very far south in Western Gondor. There are many creatures to gaze upon, my travels took me to Dol Amroth, Tadrent and Morlad. In this episode of my Western Gondor series I am looking at domesticated creatures. Dol Amroth: What a...

In this series I will be looking at the various dresses available to cosmetically wear in LOTRO. I will be assisted by Lizzy and Alesel. This first offering, the Common Long-Sleeved Dress available in the low level vendor Outfitters. It’s very inexpensive so a great first dip into cosmetic outfitting. Here is the dress with the default colouring, in this case...

On YouTube it was requested that I make a non-combat kind of outfit and this is the result! I decided to make an outfit for someone who has been doing a lot of traveling and sight-seeing throughout Middle-earth. The clothes are a bit ragged and the colors are all muted greys and browns. In the video I also mention that you can change out the backpack. I...

Lizzy and I are back with our special brand of LOTRO gaming. After so much time away from LOTRO Lizzy had to relearn the basics, but soon she got into the swing of things. Next time I am going to suggest she have a go and ridding Rushock Bog of a few...

Way back when the game had only recently gone Free to Play, Turbine started introducing meta-deeds to the game. These meta-deeds came with some pretty awesome titles and steeds and I was really into getting all of them. One of these meta-deeds was for Elf reputation. If you reached kindred with the Elves of Rivendell, Galledhrim and Malledhrim you would get the...

Welcome to the LOTRO Players: Community Events Post. This week we have a diverse offering of player hosted  events.  I am even leading one of my own with a lot of help from many people on Landroval. I recommend Chickens Vs Goblins over on Laurelin on Saturday! Scroll down for details on that event. If you have an event you would like to have included in this...

On twitter I was asked to put together an outfit for a Ranger with a guard focus. Besides the iconic ranger shoulder wrap I didn’t use any Ranger/Grey Company pieces to make it more unique. The shoulder wrap though has that distinguished texture and star emblem, so I felt I had to include it to really give it authenticity as a Ranger outfit. Let me know...

I know there are quite a few people out there who roleplay their characters as rogues or ruffians or brigands. I’m definitely not one of them. The closest I’ve come to that is my hunter from Bree who can be a bit rough around the edges but is good at heart. However if you are one of those people who likes to have your characters cast on the darker...

After posting my View of Dol Amroth video, it was suggested that I make a swan-knight outfit. I had every intention of doing so for this week’s outfit too, but I just could not get it the way I wanted. It’s hard to find good looking plate-type armour in this game, and on top of that it’s hard to find good-looking plate type armour that...
