Medium – In the tent, toasting the health of new friends. A Challenge – In the drink.   This week Tinki is hiding somewhere on Weathertop.  Remember! Please...

LOTRO Outfits: Noldo

I received a request to make an outfit based on the Noldor elves, Feanor and/or the Silmarils. At first when putting together the outfit on that theme I was trying to think of all the star-based cosmetics I could. Unfortunately most of the cosmetics with star motifs are squarely on the Man side of cosmetic styling because of their Dunedain ties. I wound up idly...

Where’s Tinki? Aughaire

Hello Everyone, Last time we were searching for Tinki in Rivendell, in the Trollshaws. Answers from Where’s Tinki? – Rivendell. Easy – On the bridge. Medium – Waving from the two support beams on the veranda of the Homely House. A Challenge – On the performance platform near the tall statue.   This week Tinki is hiding in Aughaire, Angmar.  Remember!...

LOTRO Outfits: Protector of the Shire

I was planning to do a hobbit outfit for this week but I wasn’t sure what kind of outfit to make. Everything I seemed to try was too similar to the Mathom Society Record-keeper’s outfit I made. While trying to get some more ideas I was aimlessly looking through the outfits my hobbit already had in her character journal and found the jacket from this...

LOTRO Outfits: Dwarf of the Iron Hills

This week’s outfit features a lot of “Ceremonial” cosmetic pieces. The introduction of these cosmetic versions of actual stat-filled armours from instances and raids has been amazing for those who are more inclined to lounge around Bree making cool looking outfits… like me! I’m trying to keep the outfit distribution amongst the...

LOTRO Outfits: Dressing Newbies [Guide]

A few weeks ago I was asked to make a guide for dressing low level characters. With Weatherstock approaching fast, I figured that now would be a great time to release that guide since many will be rolling new characters on Landroval to experience the event. This is a very simple guide with not a whole lot of specifics, however I think it should give you enough...

LOTRO Outfits: Rohirrim of Aldburg

One of the first things I realized when Steel Blue came out was that I could make a really good looking Rohirrim outfit using it. The other shades of blue up until now felt too bright for Rohan, as I associate more subdued colors like olive and walnut brown with Rohan. Steel Blue definitely fits into that more ‘subdued’ color scheme… and even...

LOTRO Outfits: Heading West

Since I found out Update 13 was going to include a new dye, I’ve been going crazy wanting that beautiful Steel Blue. Because of the reputation gating of both the scholar recipe to make the dye and the farmer recipe to make the crop that provides the dye ingredient, it has been very hard to come-by. Only within the past week have there been pots of Steel...

LOTRO Outfits: Bree-town Guard

Until I started roleplaying, I wasn’t really interested in Bree-town. I mean sure, it was a handy location because of its centrality in Eriador and the services it offered, but it wasn’t terribly exciting to me. But once I started roleplaying I became fascinated with the lives of the everyday sort of people in Bree. I don’t roleplay anymore,...

LOTRO Outfits: Dwarf of the Blue Mountains

My husband and I made new dwarf characters this past weekend – mine is a Rune-keeper named Sithi (I could go into the various layers of cleverness with that name but I won’t) and his is a Champion named Navrin. The purpose is to help him re-learn the game he has barely logged into in the past two or three years. But this meant that I needed to make...

LOTRO Outfits: Mathom Society Record Keeper

I don’t often play my hobbit minstrel, Miniature, but when I do I spend a lot of time picking an outfit, more so than my other characters, if that’s possible! I originally made this outfit for Miniature as an entry for the yearly Fashion Screenshot contest as one of the Profession entries. I imagined the papers in her pack were scores or lyrics and...

LOTRO Outfits: Archer of Mirkwood

This outfit idea was suggested to me by Eryniell on the official LOTRO forums. She wanted me to make an outfit using the Leggings of the Shadow-walker for her female elf hunter. The leggings are almost entirely black with a little bit of silver/grey detailing. The trick was to find other items that also had dark undertones or could be dyed dark. I settled on a...

LOTRO Outfits: Shield-maiden of Eastern Rohan

Rohan is definitely my favorite place in Middle-earth – lore-wise, questing, the landscape – everything about it! Because of this I end up creating a lot of cosmetic outfits based on different aspects of Rohan and Rohirrim culture. This outfit was made for my Warden of Rohan and utilizes the muted golds, olives, greys and browns of the Wold in...

LOTRO Outfits – Lore-master of Lake Evendim

Hello, LOTRO Players! My name is Cithryth and welcome to my LOTRO Outfits! Ever since the cosmetic system was introduced I have loved creating and collecting outfits across all my characters. Most outfit showcases utilize screenshots to display the outfit, however I have decided to try something different and showcase my outfits via video. This is the first of...

Small LOTRO Adventures – Episode 13: Thou Shalt be Dubbed.

Hey LOTRO Players,   Here is an Episode from us at Small LOTRO Adventures. In this episode I asked Lizzy to dub her video. Sadly the Episode with chickens had such awful sound quality we were not able to use it!   Here you can hear Lizzy at her very best and enjoy her choice selection of what to wear as she learns to use the LOTRO Wardrobe. Lots of hand-eye...

Lilikate’s Screenshots – TSO 1st Flute

  Welcome to another Lilikate’s Screenshots. Here is the most enchanting picture of The Starlight Orchestra’s 1st Flute Musician. As 1st Flautist Lhinnthel has extra responsibility as she is also Leader of the Flute Section, and Leader of all Wind Instruments. Yep that makes her my boss! I hope she does not mind my sharing her TSO picture here...

Lilikate’s Chatter

 Hullo LOTRO Players! I was hoping to have been able to post an episode of Small LOTRO Adventures today. Sadly an issue with our sound equipment has caused a delay in the making of our Vidcast. I am hopeful that Lizzy and I will be able to record again soon. So I thought, I would stop for a bit-of-a chat. Let you all know the latest from the world of Lilikate...
