Shortly after posting about the new cosmetics, it was discovered there is also a new steed available!
Ketani was kind enough to collect enough tokens (after spending them all on the new cosmetics) to obtain the horse as well. She is modeling the mount with the new cosmetics on as they go nicely with the new horse.
The horse costs the typical 20 Tokens, 1 Race Token and Document of Mount Ownership. In your mount panel it will be listed as the “Yule Festival Snowy Horse/Pony”.

Today is the final day the Fleet-Footed goat will be available in the store. The banner in the LOTRO store states that this goat is available until January 5th!
This is no miner’s goat. This silky long-haired grey goat is outfitted to swiftly traverse mountain pathways and dark, subterranean tunnels, rather than carry heavy gear and provisions. It is sturdy enough to ride through the Orc-ridden halls of Moria, yet lightly armoured so as not to hinder its ability to move quickly and with great agility, making it highly prized among the messengers of the Iron Garrison.

We got a little peak behind the scenes of the upcoming (still no official date) Yule Festival in today’s Dev. Diary.
One thing I did want to point out is that I appreciate seeing that some of the “newer” devs have worked their way up the ranks from places like the QA team, as Pinion mentions in his intro.

For those of you who missed last night’s Treasure-hunt, first I want to assure you that it was a sneak peak! This event was short intentionally and I’m assuming the time selected was probably set just for convenience of Turbine monitoring the sneak preview event.
I do not know what the duration of the full event intends to be but I’m guessing longer. Possibly a weekend event since they’ve been fond of doing these things recently.

Currently three of the $20 store exclusive mounts are on sale for 50% off! I couldn’t find any announcement for this sale on the LOTRO site but thankfully some friends on twitter alerted us to this sale.

As per usual, new patch notes have me looking for anything mentioning updates to livestock and fertilizer. This time around there isn’t anything concerning boar poo, but we do have a couple updates in regards to horses.
First up we have this bit in the In Their Absence section of the notes:

With the patch today, the Fall Festival is now also live. Much of it is the same as previous festivals and for a full guide make sure to head over to CSTM for their festival coverage. Here’s the PDF link as CSTM is still fighting a malware issue – PDF version of the Website with all the quests.
I did pop in quickly to get the new horse and use up some old tokens to get the new dress and cloak for my Warden.

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:

So I’m still behind but wanted to post briefly on the new horse available with the Summer Festival that went live today. I must say, I really enjoy this general horse style as they look very nice. I haven’t seen too much else that’s new on the vendors, but will admit I haven’t looked too hard yet. I’ll try to post an update, but as always I will most likely just point over to CSTM’s Guide as Goldenstar’s guides are just amazing.
<Update> I ended up finding a stock-pile of old tokens, so was able to get the horse for the 20 tokens it takes, and still have some left over <Update>
