Slightly deviating from the cosmetic part of this thread, but . . . sword/scimitar in 2nd and 3rd pic, WHAT IS IT?? MUST HAVE!! It is a seriously cool looking elven type sword. Is it a legendary weapon, because of the green glow? I know we don't have cosmetic weapons, but I can try...

Thanks

That curved sword can be obtained in two ways: One is without the Westernesse dmg glow and is a quest reward from Gwingris. The other is a crafted level 65 sword (non-LI), with Westernesse dmg.

Hope this helps

ETA: Could someone tell me what that helmet is?

Dang, Eregion. /shakefist Guess I will be leveling to 65 lol. Thanks. As for the helmet, I am not 100% sure, but it looks like a heavy armour Malledhrim piece.

Edit: Haha Barbantes, you must have posted that just as I was writing mine

[missadler]

Also, I must know what that shield is! It's the one found in the bottom two pictures of that same post. Love it!

One way to get it is from a metalsmith recipe that is bartered from one of the Malledhrim crafting vendors in Ost Galadh. Also, I'm not sure if it's the same skin, but I know you can get a similar curved elf-y blade from the Mirkwood epic.

It looks familiar; I can't remember the exact name but I believe it's the guardian BG helm, from the classics skirmish vendor?

Thanks! Yep, twas on the skirmish barter person. Much appreciated.

That epic quest reward sword (vol 2, book 9, chapter 6) would be Malendol's sword. And, it looks like this: http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/2251/malendol.jpg
Also curved, but with an angle at the tip.

Actually, Eregion is level 50'ish. So, you could get the Gwingris quest reward one (non-glowy) as early as that.

Unless, of course, you've already completed Eregion and missed it. :/

Only the one with Westernesse dmg glow is level 65 and crafted with a Mirkwood recipe.

This week's outfit, something I call Walnut Wizard, is a fun experimentation with brown and it's various saturated shades. This is something intended for either caster classes or for characters that enjoy traveling light.

My favourite outfit consists of the Flame-touched Hauberk and Cloak, and the shoulders, boots, and gloves from the Moria Dungeon Shield Bearer set. I think the umber and orange colours match nicely with the Prized Elglain Steed's tack and hide (:

[OruiFarimur]

My Boromir outfit!

Edit: thanks for helping me figure out how to post pics on here.

Still cant figure out how to post pictures on here. This isn't my favorite outfit, but I recreated Boromirs look from the movies. http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/tw...?sort=3&page=1

This week's outfit, Aurora Maiden, was inspired by a rare encounter with the Aurora Borealis some time ago. It's taken a long time to find the pieces that felt "right" for this ensemble.

Nice colors Nathrien and that dark blue really makes the other hues glow. One thought though- have you tried using cloak of the Mallorn (dyed ered luin blue) with this? The gilded leaf pattern and the white stripe of it could work ideally with this robe, I haven't done this combo but my mind's eye instinctively pictures it.


While I'm typing this post I'll also take a moment to say: I hope you don't retire your blog anytime soon, it is a pleasure to browse and the amount of creativity that may be had with a finite number of cosmetic pieces is truly limitless.

Thank you! To tell the truth, that was the first cloak that came to mind while piecing this outfit together. I had also used the Cloak of the Mallorn recently, so I didn't want to wear it out. However, I thought I'd take the challenging route and try to match that marvelous and slightly muted blue at the lower hem of the robe and give the entire outfit some color balance. It's a shame that blue only appears in elven gear!

And as for my blog, it's still going strong. Even though I'm several months away from coming to any decision regarding retirement, I have at least another dozen outfits lined up

The three favourite dresses of my huntress Ananoriel. She usually wears them in her free time when she is visiting her favourite cities and towns.
And the elf-dance2 emote is a perfect way to pose for outfit posts.

I've always been fascinated by the character of Eärwen, Swan-Maiden of Alqualondë. She's Galadriel's mother, Luthien's aunt, wife of Finarfin, king of the Noldor, and basically was closely related to pretty much every elf of any importance from the Time of the Trees up to the Fourth Age and beyond. She refused to join in the Exile of the Noldor, and I believe was a major reason why Finarfin turned around in repentance and regret after the Kinslaying. Using my RK as a model, here are a few depictions of Eärwen, during happier times, wandering along the twilit shores of Eldamar, before the Trees were destroyed. (The cosmetics are fairly basic and easy to obtain for the most part.)



Pictures 1-3 are fairly "casual" looks - my idea of Eärwen is basically the embodiment of a Telerin sea-elf, so I would think she'd prefer wearing shades of blue and white.
Picture 1: Lissuin Dress (Spring festival) and Cloak of the Galadhrim, dyed Ered Luin blue
Picture 2: Long-Sleeved Elven Dress (Rivendell rep), Cloak of the Northern Lights (store), and Ceremonial Hat of Deep Lore (skirmish cosmetic), all dyed navy.
Picture 3: Exquisite Long-Sleeved Dress and Cloak of the Galadhrim, both dyed navy
Picture 4: Something she might wear on royal ceremonial occasions. She's wearing the Cloak of the Dove (store) and the Ceremonial Shoulders of the Learned (skirmish cosmetic) dyed Ered Luin blue, Winged Circlet (skirmish cosmetic) dyed gold, and the Exquisite Elven Dress (Mirkwood rep), dye-washed.
