Hello folks! Some of you may know me from LOTRO Weekly and know that I closed shop there a few months ago. Goldenstar and Merric have offered me a more stress-free writing environment here and I have taken them up on the offer! I will be bringing you outfits galore in the hopes that I get your creative juices flowing and help you create your own wonderful cosmetic masterpieces!
First off, I am going to be to doing a series of articles on matching outfits with horses. This is easier for some horses than others. Like finding cosmetic pieces that go together, the key is to find the main colors and styling. Let’s start with the Prized Rivendell Horse:

I know others have been sharing their photos but mostly I’m excited at having just purchased my Legendary Edition and want to share my photos! My hobbit is even wearing boots for you! She never does that!
If you purchased this pre-order package, you’ll have to have quite a bit of inventory space open. The cosmetics come in boxes (a box for each color set) but opening will release the 5 items into your inventory. The cloaks were separate items from the boxes.
The first horse was auto-granted as a skill. The other 2 were in my inventory that I had to click on and convert into a skill. I also have my new pocket item for the +25% exp bonus.

As I mentioned in the comments, I did pre-order the Legendary Edition as for me the extra bit for cosmetic outfits and horses account wide was worth the extra money.
Each horse shows up as an item, just right-click and it pops into your skills but one will get automatically added so don’t panic when you only have 2 in your inventory. Each cloak is there as well as a gift box for the outfits. Each box expands to the 5 items inside, so make sure you have bag space before opening!

We now have a date and price for our next expansion – Sept 27th, 2011 which is actually quite a bit earlier then I had expected with price options starting at $29.99 all the way up to $49.99. Most of the details of the expansion are known but the pricing options are interesting.

Today was the first update for the Echoes of the Dead Patch (aka Update 2) with all servers going live. You can find the patch notes on the Lorebook but it was mainly a series of bug-fixes but certainly some big ones including:
- Roll-backs in the Moors have been addressed
- Burglars and Champs had some issues resolved
- Raid and Instance tweaks
- Lesser Ward of the West armor set had its armor value boosted
- Oppressor of Stoneheight now completes properly when killing Truitt on Tier 2
- LI Shards have been fixed to ignore in-game money amounts
- VIPs can purchase extra wardrobe slots!
As always, there may still be some other outstanding issues so keep an eye on the Known Issues thread, which was updated today.

Browsing through the “Store Exclusive” section on Bullroarer I found three new robes that I had not seen before. I double checked on live to make sure that they weren’t added and I hadn’t noticed.
All of these robes are able to be dyed and cost 295 Turbine Points a piece. Any of the photos below can be seen in a larger view by clicking on them.
A reminder that this is all from the Bullroarer server and there’s no guarantee we’ll see these launch with Echoes of the Dead or that their prices will remain the same.

I know many have already gotten their fancy blue dress clothes but my hunter just received her set today and I thought I would share it with everyone.
I was incorrect in my guess it was tied to charitable deeds quest. The quest is called “Good Deeds at Yule-Time” and is from helping the poor by doing the quest Self-Sacrifice: Support the Poor during Yule Festival. It is only from helping the poor (there is no helping the rich equivalent). This was a final quest after earning Honoured Yule-friend. You were offered a chance to help the rich or the poor citizens of Winter-home.
The quest for the Frostbluff Cosmetics of Thanks triggered 40 days after helping the poor in Winter-home. I looked it up in my log and I had finished “Support the Poor” on 12/23/10 and got the quest for the blue cosmetics today.

In a post on the forums by Fredelas, it seems we may have found the elusive blue festival clothing on Bullroarer in the latest patch. I know at least Kiarane, Ketani and I were frantically searching for this costume and it’s great to think it is coming with Monday’s patch. This blue outfit was displayed in the official Yule Festival screenshots and we couldn’t figure out how we earned it!

Recent game updates and store deals have revived the not-so-old question of whether or not reputation deeds should be in the store and what to expect from store exclusive mounts. So here are my thoughts on the matter.
First of all, my opinion is that horses are mainly functional cosmetic items. Since we don’t yet have mounted combat, you can’t fight from horseback, and although some mounts have higher morale, speed and critical defenses, generally speaking, whether you ride a festival horse or a reputation pony isn’t going to save your character from defeat.
