I’ve been taking another character through the In Their Absence questline this week. You rack up quite a bit of Medallions of the North-men while doing these quests. This gave me the opportunity to pick up the Hunter Shoulders from Harndirion that I have been coveting for awhile.
I knew I wanted to pair them with a dress. I wanted to go in an elegant feminine direction with this outfit. However, I wasn’t sure what head piece to use. I looked through everything I had in my vault and wardrobe and almost decided upon the Winged Circlet. The winged look of the circlet would of matched well with the feathers on the shoulders.
Then I looked through the head pieces in the Lotro Store. I’ve never really thought much of the Battle-Mask of Rhun. I’ve never purchased it or used it in an outfit before. I tried it on in the Dressing Room and was amazed to discover I really liked it paired with this outfit.
Head: Battle-Mask of Rhun, dyed Gold (Lotro Store)
Shoulders: Lesser Shoulder Guards of DunGost (Hunter Shoulders bartered with Medallion of the North-men)
Chest: Elegant Dress, Dyed Umber (Skirmish Camp or Lotro Store)
Devonna — I love this! I absolutely love this! Now I have to do all those quests too… drat!
Did you happen to get my email with questions about the blog for my article for theonering.net? I can easily resend them if you need.
Cheers — Mor
I’d love it if you could send the questions again. Thank you
That is a beautiful outfit. I love how the dress works in umber, with those shoulders. Now I have something to work towards.
Would the helm of the West Tower work, too? It gives the character a distinctly birdlike profile… but it does have that strange, greyish blueish undyeable part…
*tips hat* I’ve avoided that dress, since I don’t like how it dyes. In this outfit, however, you’ve managed to make it work.
Yes, I could see the West Tower Helm working also. Good call
Wow, beautiful! Those shoulders look so amazing with the dress, like a soft, feathery stole. They also raise the neckline up and change it almost into a boat neck-line. Awesome colour choice too, I’ve always liked the way that dress dyes in such soft shades. I love this outfit!
Oooh, I really like this! I go back and forth on this dress; it needs /something/ to make it work. The shoulders you chose work perfectly. What a beautiful neckline that forms!
