Fishing stuff.

What I was doing while I was, secretly, thinking in my weird experiment? Well, I was doing some fishing duties :3 Fishing is fun, frustrating indeed, but fun. Wasting time in a quiet lake, river pond, puddle which is deep enough to sink the bait and hope for a fish... when usually you will get knifes, skulls, weeds, axes and swords... So far: no boot for now.

Fishing is a relaxing activity in this game, push only one button and then, when the right time comes, push it again and claim your reward, which goes from a totally unworthy and useless item to a trophy to  hang on some personal house or kin house wall. It also have titles, depending on the the tier of fishing that you get and on some deeds (That gives NO TP, so, if you are a TP hunter: dont even look at them) that may be awesome to have.

Fishing in a heavy armor, hooded mask, in Angmar... like a boss.

I was trying to complete some deeds, the Darter deed and the Trout deed as well, and some of the fishes  that I need it were in Angmar, Trollshaws, Bree-lands, Evendim, the Shire,  Ered Luin and maybe in some other place that I dont recall right now. Those are not easy since its all about lucky and skills, why lucky? I spent like 3 hours fishing (While talking in skype, nothing serious and peril enough) and only got few of the Darter deed, still, not complete. 2 more to go in this deed and one more in the trout deed to get the title and the decoration item for my home or my kin house.

Fishing in Bree... in the river next to Bree-town xD yah, I was kinda lazy 

After spending some time in the river next to the Bree-town I finally accepted that it had no use to keep trying there, was too close of the town and it would be ridiculously (Or.. whatever) to find that fish there, so I decided to went to Starmere lake, not so far from the town to try a bit.

It was great, quiet, lonely, but useless to try in there as well, but at least I got some good screens that even I, the noob-screenier, is amazed:

Did you know that if you fish, press the button to collect the fish and take a screen,
it would make you fail at fishing? 

Took me three times to find out that... I was like "OMG, where the freaking fish! where did it go?"

Fishing with a campfire, just for awesome-looking pose at the distance.

Also, in that big lake, I got no luck at all. All of a sudden I realized what I was avoiding all this time: You have to go further in Bree-lands, to no easy reachable lakes in order to get that freaking dart that I badly wanted. So my journey to the lake between Bree-lands and Northdowns started, 6 minutes at horse after using the fast traveling skill to Bree (To sell al that junk that I got from that lake and claim my well-earned 4 silver and 65 copper) 

While I was riding to that lake, I found out this waterfalls and I remembered when I said that I was going to take some panoramic screens of the game to post them in here, which I barely did... lots of months back. So well, there I was, looking at the falls and I said to myself "Wait, it's that a road?" 

Wait... its that... a road?

And I saw the screen a bit closer... Suddenly, in a hurry,  I grabbed my cat and yelled: "OMG! IT IS A ROAD! that FREAKING FISH MUST BE DOWN THERE!"

Something like this was my cat reaction... (This is, obviously, not my cat)

 So I went down the road to fish.. and yet, no Dart nor Trout was founded.

Fishy, fishy, fishy... WHERE ARE YOU, YOU FREAKING FISH?!

So I decided to follow my instinct... And went to the upper part of the waterfalls, where this lake its at to fish. Was already kinda late so I didnt made many tries in my fishing duties (Which I will be doing today, while I work in my experiment (Which, funny fact is that has already dropped some results :D some sad result but result nevertheless)

This is the lake, it has to be in this lake...

But at the end of all, there was no Dart in here. I spent a lot of time trying to get it but I guess that it´s a really random catch this one. what was funny its that, at the end, I ended with a lot of taxidermist trophies in my backpack.

Look at that! only if those could be sold in AH ):

Finally I went to Trollshaws and at least complete the Trout deed. I forgot to took some screens of the wall decoration but I will today later, while I level up a bit with my champion (Yup, after Anphordeth´s defeat I decided try nothing less than a character that its quite close to the undying title and had nothing less than medium, possibly heavy armor. I need something new for a change).

Well, I´m out my friends, got a lot of things to do in this day, work, some readings about Ravenloft´s core books and continue with my experiment, which remind me: I thought that the name "The Inner Circle Syndrome" was invented by me... Until talking about this experiment with my father (Who cold guide me a bit better since this stuff about understanding the human race sometimes is far beyond my comprehension) looked at me with the "Are you serious?" and told me that there was a term already with that name... Anyway, I shall not change it, it´s a cool name and stay like that, hopefully the next phases´ names are going to be original (:

Well, Im out, have a great day an a awesome hunting, heroes of the middle earth, I´ll see you later with some more news about the dumb things that I do while I level up and some updates of my experiment (Which there´s already a result in the first phase :3)

The Experiment. -Phase One-

(I will explain from where this come from, at the end of the post :D)

Sounds quite impressive the title of this post, right? Well, long short version of the story: I'm bored and I decided to make a strong experiment in my kin and in part of the game with another kins and groups. Since I returned to LotRO I has been having a hard time in finding the differences between WoW and LotRO behavior in the players.

Group quite closed, people showing off their gear and telling you how bad is someone at the game, bad jokes and that excessive need to prove that you are, inside the kin, the most funny and reliable person ever (Even if you are not) to may advanced in the Kin hierarchy. May this not be so bad, still, it can go extremely bad sometimes.

In the first phase of my experiment I will try to find a group to make some instances with Varsalla, my noob healer, in order to get some gear from the 3 man instances and 6 man instance of Isengard... Why I would do that? Easy to answer. Since the new zone, Shores of the Great River (Or something like that) I have been noticing that ppl only works on the new instance called "Roots of Fangorn" and possibly, but not so intense, in "The Foundry" only at tier 2 even if they have people in the same kin that needs gear from the lower tiers or other instances.

(Since I haven't been inside the new instance before, I decided to make a short research and got these few screen from: This awesome blog All credits for the screens to this blog and thanks in advance!)

Quite creepy, right?

Hmm dern...

Usually, in WoW, if you are far behind that the rest of the Guild (Or Kinship) you have to make your own way to get ready for the latest content and still, because of many reasons, sometimes you find a horrible wall to climb which is: "Is there any spot for you in the latest content?". Sad, but certainly true. Since WoW is basically filled with "core raiders" (And dont even dare to say no, you WoW-players, do the maths and you will find that its true... I used to be a WoW player as well and I know the system :3) some alts are just made it for fun and sometimes, sadly, have more priority over other's main character of non core raiders.

In LotRO may be happening the same. Some alts have more priority over others alts even if its, for sure, that they are not as necessary over other characters. For example, and thanks to the Valars that I have the best way to prove it, I will take a look over my characters: I have a Hunter (which there's a least thousands of them in the game) and a Minstrel (Which they may be a lot of them, but they are always in demand). My hunter is somehow geared for some raids and I even got invitations that I had to decline due some real-life duties, and Varsalla, which have no gear at all (Well, a lvl 75 minnie book second age already, fully leveled but I need to work a lot in the legacies) that have also no experienced that has no invitation, not even a skirmish raid or a singular skirmish.

I'm going to leave Khas far behind for a while in this experiment, to see if its true or false what I'm going to call "The Inner Circle Syndrome" Which basically is "Always get the same group to the same instances one and other time and don't let new people in".

Why this happens? Easy, people get used to play with other people's style and they are afraid to break that order, its a paradigm: "Why would I change something that sometimes works, to try something new that possibly wont work?" People sometimes is afraid of changes and in the games, where every run counts for some players more than to other players, it quite marked in their point of view. Its that a bad thing? A good thing? I dont know, for me, in my own personal opinion, its a bad thing... Totally, since it takes out the chances for everyone to enjoy the same content that the other players has.

This dog is shocked about this...

Sounds like a good experiment right? As I said, I'm quite bored right now and instead of looking for stuff to do, I will be working in this for the next weeks. Because I'm sure that its going to take more than few days to prove all the phases of the experiment. so far, I have 4 phases with AWESOME and COOL names... Like "The Inner Circle Syndrome".

So, you may have been thinking: What's wrong with you? Easier, I shall tell the story of this experiment... I was Fishing in LotRO while I was speaking with one of my bests friends in skype, while he was playing WoW doing some quests and instances. While we were chatting we started to define the behaviors of some players in the game and started to debate what was wrong and what was good in that, it was a loooong chatting stuff that we had but it was funny and at the end, after few minutes of silence and while I was no longer talking to him, I decided to put awesome names on each behavior.

I know that this experiment could bring me some troubles, but as I said: I'm bored in the game and, perhaps, some troubles will add some fun. Lately I have been only leveling old toons and doing deeds... end fishing... Which is going to be my next post: Fishing stuff.

Well, have a great time my friends and, if you like, I will take any suggestion in this experiment (and add the credits of course as well!) Good hunting and good luck!

Worst. idea. Ever...

Do you remember the Runekeeper that I was leveling up?

Yup, that one!

Well, she was sent to Adso's Camp to help some freaking hobbit with the construction of some never-ending building site of a inn, "It's easy" they said "What could go bad there" Well, Lets see how BAD it can go.

As many of you know may know, specially (And possibly only) if you play the game, this building site is located between the border of the Shire and Bree-town, and has been in construction for like.. ever perhaps. Sieged by wolfs, bears, mad boars and brigands, yes, brigands, the same freaking brigands that are messing around Bree-town, also have some needs from the Old forest.

It was there were I died, at lvl 19, because of some trees and roots and spiders and a horrible camera perspective ever. Really, I dont know what happened, but I know that all in a sudden I fell down defeated and with that, my dream of being undying with this girl as well. Quite frustrating I must add to this post, to find yourself dying because of some trees when you, literally, walked inside a ruins filled with brigand and killed, not only several brigands, but stole their stolen (weird, right?) supplies and killed the two bosses in there.

Healing over time... pft... what a big lie.

I tried to heal myself a lot, casted almost all the spells that I could but none was useful, the incoming damage was crazy (Well, I was killed by two signature trees and their roots... Each tree have at least 2 - 3 roots near, and one spider that randomly appeared in the zone) and I guess that I was not geared enough.

I'm thinking in erase her and make her again, but something inside of me tells me no to, perhaps its because she looks awesome, or maybe because its just a title... possibly that if I do it, I will making a third runekeeper... Maybe coz I'm quite near to lvl 20 and skirmishes... Maybe because i should not give any importance...

Well, anyway, happened what had to happen, I was playing with fire and I was going inside that forest from a darker side that usual. I almost died once but I escaped only to heal myself and return to die a bit later. I'm gonna think about this and perhaps this will make me think more about my strategies rather than just going questing around.

Also, yesterday (Right after that happened) I had this silly idea of taking few characters that I dont use out of the Kinship. Since I was thinking in erase one, why not the others? yup, anger took control of me and I became and character killer. Good luck that I took a long breath and realize that they may not have any use (For now) but they are quite advanced with their vocations and those could be of use eventually.

The people from my kin went worried when they saw three of my characters going out in a row, first Ritcher (My champion), then Vhaleria (My Warden) and finally Anphordeth (The Runekeeper); when I logged in Khas, they started to  ask me if I was leaving the kin in the kinchat and in private. Sorry guys,  as I sais in the game, I'm not looking to go out of the Kin, its just that I wanted to make some changes on characters that I dont use a lot. my bad, I know that I should had said something at the beginning.

Anphordeth, lvl 19 and four or five bars... defeated in the Old forest.

Since has been a bit of time now, I can see things a bit less... Angered, I guess. In fact, I'm going to level her up... meh, I dont know xD

Anyway, I'm leaving to my home right now, have a great night my friends and good luck! I hope that your hunt will go great! 

(Sorry for posting again the same old screens, I didnt had time, nor the will to take screen of when she fell defeated or a bit afterwards, possibly, if I make a new post today, I will be taking new screens and new stuff to post in here D:)

Another Minstrel lvl 75 in the game...

Day by day there's always that noob that reach lvl 75 to enlarge the armies of unemployed heroes of that class and make, sometimes, difficult the chances for everyone to get a slot inside a raid, a skirmish or even a instance. Making bigger the chances of failure in those places as well due mistakes, no healings duties or maybe a bad anger management in the pulls and bosses.

Oh, yes, yes, I'm talking about me, of course, few days ago I decided to level up Varsalla and now I should be looking forward to make instances for healing and saving others with songs and stuff. What they really dont know is that I'm that kind of noob that actually dont have any clue of the new healing system... Not lying, I dont know how yet.

I was kinda happy with the healing system before RoI and so mad with the dpsing system, that when they decided to mix up things and they maded a great improvement to the dpsing system and the healing system become a bit of a tricky, I got focused only on dpsing and zero healing. not even for me, reason why I was dying that much. Funny, in fact, was already at lvl 75 that I noticed the name of the healing spells that you could use on Battle-speech mode, such as "Bolstering MY courage" or "raising MY spirit" or stuff like that, I dont remember those spells names very well.

Since Varsalla was stuck at lvl 73 in Isengard with such a awful gear and almost 2.5k morale only, I had to return to Galtrev, fix the gear, hire some tailors and force Khas to make her some jewelry while I was buying the River stuff quest pack. I wont deny that the fact that I had to go to Rivendell, then to Eregion, then to Moria, cross Moria from point to point, then Lothlorien to reach the river is one of the most painful things I have done before and its making me, seriously, to buy a extra milestone slot. Both places are important and I can't depend on a hunter to help me out traveling fast.

Anyway, once I reached the place I found out something that I was not expecting: A greater work than on  the Dunlands. Yes, friends of mine who my think: "What's wrong with this noob? Dunland was awesome! AWESOME!"... I didnt enjoyed too much Dunlands and not even the gap of Rohan and even LESS Isengard... I still have nightmares from those places. But the river, well, so far has been a quite exciting and not easy quest and place to explore.

Not sick... just smelling funny...

In the first part of the adventure, you have to drive away some Rohirrim that have been camping in the elvish forest near Lothlorién, gonna be honest, I dont remember the name of the place but its something like Ha---something... or... Meh, I dont know... Driving these riders away its quite a easy task, scare them a bit, crush some smelly flowers, kills some orcs and mostly: hide behind some bushes and make noises. Of course, these tactics only works in the easy outpost, since when you try to do the same in the second, where the chief of the riders is at, he ask you to face them as a valiant instead of a as coward behind some bushes...

Pfft me? doing funny noises? I dont know what you mean... I was chasing hamsters...
huge, cruel hamsters...

They want to leave this place as well but they fear that a friend of them could be hurt, or dead, somewhere in the woods so they ask you to help them so they can leave. As obviously, as you all know, this game its not all the time good things and "everyone is safe" so...

5 arrows and a massive blood pool... this dont look very well...

I KNEW IT! My search was in vain!

Yes, the rohirrim is dead, quite dead in fact and so you if you do not repel the orc attack that is almost upon you and your friendly elf-maiden. At the end, the Rohirrim helps a bit and thanks you, telling you hat they will leave... and few other things that possibly I will post later...

After you leave the elven forest you reach the lands of the great river and some Rohirrim small cities and outpost, such as Stangard or something with Stan-soemthing. I loved this town, even if the quets line inside was quite a sad one and full of anger and treachery, but I'm pretty sure that you will (Maaaaaaaybe) find it awesome, or at least worthy, and if you didnt like Dunland, this is a great reward.

Rohan-style houses <3 finally <3

The story of the town is truly great, yet somehow weird... As you know, the prince is already dead because... well, you saw it in the epic quest line, and you know that Saruman is evil, yet somehow you seems to forget that somewhere in the elven forest and not say a word to these rohirrim.

One of the easier quests ever...

but kinda long... just this guy walking from one side to another...

As you go deeper in this story, they tell you to go to some rock that I'm sure that its really important but as usual, I forgot its name and few other things to unveil the evil schemes of the Envoy of the king and Saruman and it was just in that rock where I reached lvl 75 :3 only two zones of the new map allowed me to reach from lvl 73 and a half to lvl 75 in les than 6 hours of playing, can't be so sure if it was even in less than 3 hours, since the road was looong and painful. 

if you look closely.... there's the leveling tree above my head. :3

It's funny when you play this game, that you know who is the evil one and who is the good one, not only due the books or the movies, but just by logic... for example, after you unveil some plan attacks from some random orcs in the same place as the well know rock that represents the alliance of Gondor and Rohan (Not so sure, just saying stuff to see if I can remember something) you go directly to the orc chief and confront him...

this guy... who is at leats two times your size and have the WHITE HAND OF SARUMAN
in his armor...

This fight is kinda nasty, this guy is not joking and he hits you as if he wants you dead, but with a bit of yelling and songs, this guy surrenders and ask you to forgive his life. You decide to take him to Stangard, with a rope, to a council in which his fate is going to be decided.

And then someone like this guy says something like that...

Honestly, not only the lieutenant of the town, but you (Not character but player) knows the true and that this guy is lying, is evil and wants you dead. Specially after he ask you, in a rude way, to just "stay away from Stangard matters"... Dude... Why?

Honestly? Seriously? Really? No one? I'm the only one who sees the truth in here? meh... one day the games will have free action and everything will be important, such as saying that this guy is a liar and Saruman's forces killed the prince just in a council such as this or maybe just walk over the tables, kicking the plates and the food...

Anyway, Varsalla reached lvl 75 and now some unfortunate heroes are going to die due my horrible healing duties, life is like that and we can't avoid it.

So far, I'm out, I want to reach home before its too late, have a great time my friends and see you in game! good hunting as well!

My Burglar

So yes, I went home just to find that my lotro Client was acting "Funny" and I had to Repair and reinstall some of the last updates and stuff... it´s not the first time that this happens to me and somehow it´s quite annoying if you ask me. I guess that must be some sort of troubles with the online games lately, happens the same with DDO and WoW... The good thing is that a friend of mine is coming home to play some D&D that I have been "cooking" for a long time, a epic story from lvl 1 to lvl 23, so far, only one player have a character lvl 7, (Dungrath in fact, I have few screen of him in this blog) and other two have their players at lvl 2 only, and now Maghi who is going to start today and hopfully her character will reach at least at lvl 4... My plan is simple, each player will play alone until lvl 9 - 10 and then they will met the others characters one by one...

ANYWAY, I´m not here to talk about D&D, or at least not for now... but I want to say that I´m looking forward to learn some of the Ravenloft Setting, which seems to be more than awesome, mixing D&D with Castlevania... awesome...

MY BURGLAR, who is the main centre of attention in this post and who you are going to meet right now.

Working in some prospecting, creating bars to get some weapons and jewels..

When I imagine my burglar, I see her as a deadly assassin but not because she is Chaotic-Evil or maybe Chaotic-Neutral... in D&D-wise speaking, but just because she is a mercenary, she works for money and some actions and anyone in her road who oppose her shall taste defeat or even death... but if you dont bother,. you could be her friend as well.

A dedicated mercenary that enjoy the hard work and stabbing duties. That´s it!

For her cosmetics, and since I dont have many other slots, I decided to get her only the Dunland medium leather but in two different colours, the shadowy one and the... not so shadowy one. I mean:

Here we have Noela, showing a lovely Dunland set in grey colours,  a fine masked hood
and some resistant and shiny arm protectors.

And in here, the same stuff, but in black...

Burglars are fast, obsessed with criticals, haste and trick... so I have to look like someone that you would not forget at least for few months after a duel against me. I prefer more the black set but I must admit that the grey one gave her a more diplomatic look against the enemies and quest givers.

Well, there she is, my Burglar, nothing out of the ordinary, it was supposed to be from Rohan but I totally forgot and I made her from Bree but it doesnt matter at all. I´m still thinking in a nice surname but I have no idea which one could be. ):

I kinda love this guy... Nob...

Well, I´m out, still waiting for the game to get updated ): there´s a great chance that today I wont be playing lotro after all, maybe tomorrow after 3pm or so. have a great week my friends and enjoy these holidays! Good hunting!

Runekeeper Vs Burglar...

Sometimes, in life, you need to take hard decisions. Decisions that without any doubt will mark you life and your actions leading you to new paths to confront new fears, tasks and quests. Each of this tasks or quests will prepare you as a warrior, a scholar or even just a more experienced person that will allow you be more wise, dedicated.

In the other hand, sometimes we waste that time thinking silly thinks such as the one that has been following me since two days ago... Runekeeper or Burglar... 

Yes! I decided to confront both of the classes that has been lately sounding inside my head every time I play Lotro. Its not a "OMG SO IMPORTANT" decision, but certainly its somehow important... In the next few months I will leveling one of them and learning how to use all their abilities and spells. So, let me go to the point... 

The Runkeeper:

I used to have one Runekeeper, long time ago, a male (Yes, quite weird in my repertory of characters) elf (Now, its not that weird, right?) and even if some of the spells and animations were awesome... I got bored at lvl 15 and decided to erase it and allow new characters to take control over that unused character spot. Possibly was the Warden, or maybe the Cappy... can't remember.

Anphordeth, Noob master of the Runes.

Anphordeth (Sounds something like: And-for-death, not intentionally, I swear it...) born like 3 months ago, exactly few days before I decided to take a lotro-break and joined forces with WoW again. Since I had the wardrobe option I could make her look a bit more epic that those silly horribly tailored robes and I was really enjoying the leveling. Fasts attacks, low armor, lots of slow healings, no AoE... things were a bit of a nightmare but aside that... They were just bad dreams and funny. I spent a lot of time reading guides and reading the general chat (Which is, in fact, a miracle if you want to find something useful there) and found out that Runekeepers were something "of the past" and their heals were "Not that horrible lame, but lame" at the end, so I had this vision *Barney Stinson voice*, of me healing with this girl in some instances and try to save the reputation of the Runekeepers in Eriador... 

"I'm going to kill you... then I'm going to rezz you and kill you again" Action pose.

What I liked most of this character, in that in healing you were like a small light-post of visual effects. Green lights running all around and lots of weird runes above you head while you are assisted by a small, not so sure how, healing rock.

Damage over time? 

Pffft please...  

Healing over time sound just great.

And that's why I love this character, not so sure if eventually I will get some more serious, direct healing runes but so far I have lots of Healing over time which allows me to see numbers and numbers floating around the characters and myself. Aside that I can cast some spells to distract and confuse my enemies... Anphordeth was a great option to level up, indeed, until...

The Burglar:

Do you remember Noela? My old, good faithful Cappy that was decided to vanquish all evil from this land and command those oath-breakers in battle? Well, she found out that she was never gonna be more than a simple soldier lvl 15 and decided to take a new class: the burglar.

I just found out that I manage to upload in my dropbox account only 1 pic of her (In the noob zone) and lots of Varsalla reaching lvl 75 in the River-stuff-place, so well, its my bad... But anyway, I will post something (like screens) about her lately at night, with the new outfit and stuff, which is similar to Khas and Varsalla but in Black and the other in Grey.

Why Burglars? Well, stealthy mode have been always a funny stuff to level up, evasion and some dirty trick were also not a bad idea and most important of all: I didnt wanted my cappy and Loremaster and Guardian were not a option after all. So, why not Burglars? they are fast, lots of critics, tricks and most of all: have you seen the animation of the surprise attack from behind while in stealth? that's one hell of a backstab without any doubt.

Noela, the former Cappy of Dale is now the Burglar of Bree-lands.
dressed as a rider of rohan... Serious problems inside the head of this one...

She is leveling the same vocation as when she was a Cappy: Armorer... mostly for the Burglars tools but honestly because I already have the rest of the vocation in the game with someone and I need it this one.

One good thing about this character is that she is going to be a loner all the time, perhaps I'll sneak inside some Kins but honestly, pretty sure that I wont last too long in them; in fact, yesterday I joined one called something like "Bloody bloodreed" or something, I will check that later on my screens, which is a new Latin guild in Silverlode. I didnt like it a bit, the high levels were too much of a "If you are not of my level, I wont speak with you" and only few guys were friendly, Ixbar and Aztohr, (Who, funny fact is, that Aztohr have his main in Hispania, the Kin where all my characters are at)

Anyway, I'm going to see if I can work with the Burglar or the Runekeeper in something for the blog, or just level bit by bit.

Well, I'm out for a bit, good luck my friends and see you later! I wish you the best luck ever for this day and happy holidays for those who celebrate the Holy week :3

Fancy Cosmetics...

One thing that I like, a lot, from Lotro are, without any question the Cosmetic option. it's not just that allows you to look awesome and epic all the time, with several different clothes for almost all the different things that you have to do, such as healing looking gear, dps looking gear, tanking looking gear or maybe just silly looking outfit... But the very best is that allows you not to look as a clown while you are running around Eriador saving the Middle Earth.

When I used to play WoW or DDO, you had to confront the fact that you may look like a clown, with purple shows, white legs armor and sky blue chest armor and a pointy helmet. This option actually helps you to look even better than many epic and totally capped characters that care less about their gear and look.

And obviously, since I decided to get some time to Lotro again, I have been working a lot in my Outfit gear. I'm not happy looking just awesome, I need to be epic, maybe legendary... maybe epic, legendary and awesome. So far, I mostly failed in my goal but I do really like how my character looks like in the game, some influences are from Castlevania: Lords of Shadows, Grabriel's armor, while other... mostly the same too, but with different colors. I think that Only Varsalla have a elegant outfit for healing and one fitted for war and yelling duties.

Let's start with Khas first :3

Khas, as a hunter, needs a lot of cover and stealthy gear, since I dont like the green (At least too much) and I really like the dark, red blood-like called Crimson, I decided to use both Cosmetics with that dye and few similar objects. They are basically based on Castlevania (As I said) and the Horse from the faction at Angmar.

My primary Outfit gear, for direct war, less stealthy and more pew, pew, pew
pew, pew, pew!

And as I said: Goes perfectly with my horse. (Which still have the normal name: "Unbroken Will"
I want to change it but I have no idea for now)

Stealthy mode, perfect for Crowd control duties and way more easier to run with.

The next example it's my new Rune-keeper, which I'm having a lot of fun with, (Maybe you dont know or dont remember but I used to have one, a male elf... which.. I deleted without remorse) Since this character is going to be for healing mostly, if I level her up, I decided to work the gear in that way. So far, the healing duties are not as I wanted so I have to level up a bit as dps, which allows me to use this...

Almost heavy armor looking, just to feel a bit more confident about my almost non existing
armor (Light) and a winged Tiara to go at hand
with my metal shoulders. Gloves and boots belongs to the Ex-pack set and combine a lot with my belt pouch stuff.

As for healing, it[s green.... only due the effect of healing that are green, and masked. Mostly, this is like Khas war gear...
But in green makes me feel like if I were a field medic with a masked hood.  

Playing with my Rune-keeper with this look its quite awesome, at least in the visual duties. looking stronger than normally is helps a bit when you die a lot of times due your almost non morale bar and zero armor... So far, with this toon, I'm looking forward to get the undying title, I haven't died or at least... I dont remember... lvl 20 will tell.

The last of the one that I decided to show is Varsalla, which have similar pieces but more with the ranger set from the almost last book epic line (yup, the chatty quest line).

Healer mode, if I eventually decide to do that stuff, with gloves and boots from the Ex-pack set,
Chest is a heavy armor, black dye (duh!) and the shoulder belongs to the Ranger set (Chatty stuff)

I do like that Outfit, looks extremely elegant and makes me feel like I should be healing someday with her, probably I will try but so far: I need to take her to lvl 75 first.

The battle gear... mostly Ranger set... in fact, I do believe that its only Ranger set...

Why I decided to use that one, well, simply, to remind myself that I'm not a heavy armor user and I can go around, running like a crazy elf using all my AoE attacks to pull the mobs... and yes, i have died a LOT with Varsalla lately, so... I need more visual help in here to remind me how bad I have my gear and my low morale hit bar as well.

WoW got something like this option, but you can carry only one type of outfit on you and it cost you some gold to transform the item that you have in what you actually want. Good thing is that you can apply it to shields and weapons, no matter what as long as they have the same family type, like two handed swords with only two handed swords, or maybe axes with axes, staffs with staffs... sounds obviously but still... they charge you for using the Transmogrification option... What a word, right? transmogrification... Amazingly I can remember that one but I dont know how to write Neighboord, Neighbhood, or Neighborhood... meh.. any way...

Hope you enjoyed my unusal post about cosmetics, it's boring, I know, but somehow it's quite interesting if you are not familiar with this feature of the game. Well, I gotta go!

Have a great night my friends, and I wish you a great beginning of a awesome weekend!
