This week we take a look at the Dwarf-kind Soldier cosmetic items. I would like to thank both Kaelin and Azzbuk of my Kinship, The Council of the Secret Fire for their help with the gathering of these photos. It is very much appreciated!
Remember, that each cosmetic costs 1 specific Campaign Mark and 77 Skirmish Marks and can be purchased from a Cosmetics vendor at any of the Skirmish Camps.

In this section, we take a look at the new Cosmetic Items for sale through the Cosmetic vendors that are located in the Bullroarer Skirmish camps. In order to find them, set the “Filter by Profile” drop-down menu to read “Rift Cosmetic Clothing”. These new items include a cloak, a top hat, a fisherman’s backpack and the Rift helms! All of these items are wearable by all classes (even the Rift Helms) but are not purchasable with the existing Campaign Marks. It looks like with the new skirmish “Rift Rescue” we will also be obtaining a new Campaign, and along with it a new Campaign Mark, the Lefnuilan Campaign Mark. This campaign currently only contains “Rift Rescue”, but I would assume that there will be future Skirmishes that will fall into this campaign released as Volume 3’s books are released.

Well wonder no more! In this three part article we will go over recording game play to a hard drive as well as streaming it live!
Before we get started lets get a little more familiar with the terminology used in these programs.

Please note: This guide is only intended for Windows-based systems. If you have instructions for Linux and/or Macintosh systems, feel free to post a description or link in the comments.
When I was playing WoW, I came across a post on how to organize screenshots for free using Windows Powershell. I thought that this would be an excellent subject matter for LOTRO players as well, since we have so many screenshot artists throughout the community. So I’ve gone ahead and modified the screenshot script for WoW, created one for XP and another for Vista/Windows 7, and created this guide. Now don’t let the length of this article frighten you off. Setting this up is fairly easy although it may take a little time and it takes absolutely no scripting knowledge whatsoever and it’s absolutely free.

Today’s guide is the Woman Skirmish Soldier race’s cosmetic traits. Again, I would like to thank Kaelin from my kinship, The Council of the Secret Fire for all of his help with this post. He actually had all of the cosmetics available for the Elf-maiden (as well as others which will be seen in future posts) and was gracious enough to allow me to take screenshots of all the cosmetics despite the cost of constantly switching traits; not to mention all the Skirmish and Campaign marks it cost him. Thanks Kaelin!
Also, if you would like to help with this project, I am currently looking for screenshots of the following Hobbit-lass outfits for next week:

It was brought up in a previous post’s comments by Korrath that if you did not want to purchase cosmetic items you could go ahead and redeem them for Skirmish Marks, which is completely true. In order to do this, go to the Curiosities Vendor and set the “Filter by Profile” dropdown menu to “Redeem Marks”. You will be then be presented with the following filtered list of items which can be in turn be redeemed for more Skirmish Marks.
However, before you go bartering away all your different marks there are some things that you should be aware of first:
