re: Team Uniform

Greetings!

Craicwyth is coming up with a war steed routine for us to perform.
We need a somewhat armor-ish outfit to wear and fairly matching tack.
Let's see if we can get some suggestions up and vote on this before next Wednesday.
Whatever we choose needs to be something that can be shared, or easily obtained using some sort of trade points (IE: skirmish marks).
Keep in mind that long hauberks look strange mounted. Avoid anything longer than knee-length.

Here is a great place to look at crafted armor:
http://lotro.northshield.co.uk/ArmourIndex.htm

Here is a link to outfits:
http://www.northshield.co.uk/LOTRO/Outfitter/Outfitter.htm


Some of the outfits I like:
* Decorative Hauberk in black. A very dramatic outfit in black, red, orange and yellow.
* Hauberk of the Eagle's Crest in white. The navy goes with everything and it is an uncommon outfit.
* Hauberk of the Eorlingas or the white Westfold version. Very detailed and appropriate for a war steed demo.
* Long-sleeved Summer Tunic and Pants in crimson. A touch of armor but still a light riding outfit.
* Short Elven Robe dyed umber. A classic leather riding outfit.
* Well-worn Robe in black. This puts more emphasis on the steeds than us.
* Armor of the Seven Stars (or similar) in white. It really looks nice with golden embroidery in white. Click here to see it: http://roll3d6.com/banders/steeds/horse-mathom.jpg

Here they are, but not in their proper colors:

Please choose a couple of these that you like or post your own.
Your suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

What do you think of the Harvest festival tunic, Kira?

re: Team Uniform

That's a nice outfit and I do have it available for sharing on Wardrobe Street.

What do y'all think?

re: Team Uniform

The harvest festival tunic looks like it would look nice on all races. A number of the hauberks don't really look that great on hobbits and/or dwarves, though I don't know if you're trying to keep the performers to all big people.

Additionally the tattered tunic & trousers, and the snow-dusted traveler's stuff look good on all races, and also dye nicely.

-2 cents worth.

The time for procrastination is over. Let's get the ball rolling.
Post your ideas and vote today or live with whatever uniform Craicwyth and I agree on.

re: Team Uniform

Surprisingly, I have been doing a little work on developing outfits. Since the team is mostly ladies, I decided to have my burglar, Findaraiel, do the modeling.

First we have a mundane number in Cream, brown, and green; dull and earthy tones to evoke thoughts of Autumn:

The jackets in all these ensembles is unbindable, so can be freely shared. However, the 'Rune-Stitched Dunlending Leggings' are bound, so here is an alternative:

However, knowing my propensity to favor browns, I wanted to present something more daring. So here is another suggestion, in purples and oranges, though not too garish:

And with alternative pants:

re: Team Uniform

Decide? Well, upon further review, after equipping the Sutcrofts warsteed cosmetics and noting their (lack of) dye pattern, I don't know that that would work with anything other than 'rust' among the standard/free dyes. Same for Norcrofts (if/when that one is not invisible for others). There is too much that remains brown, so it stands out. I don't recall what the other two 'croft' cosmetics look like atm.

Re clothing, for me the Elvish option would be better if we were riding Elvish rep type horses since it doesn't look armor-y to me.

Yeah I guess that would be my only issue with the jacket as well, it isn't very "Armor Like" So with that said I think we need to decide what it is we are going for in a team "uniform"? Are we going for a parade uniform or battle uniform? Yes I agree the jacket has many advantages, easy to acquire and dye, but I think that it falls into that "parade" category. If it's a battle uniform we want then we may want to consider the Eorlingas uniform without the cape, we could use the Sutcroft warsteed look dyed green to match the uniform.

However if we want a battle uniform that is easy to acquire and dye then I would suggest the leather hauberk(comes with wrist guards)pictured here http://www.northshield.co.uk/LOTRO/Outfitter/Hauberk/Hauberk.htm we could easily dye it to match the Sutcroft or any other warsteed look for that matter.

I think this is a very good point. Perhaps we save the elvish look for a future performance that we perform on a standard/rep Elvish horse? The green Eorlings or the white Westfold hauberk are more warsteed to me, too. Or, if we don't want to go with pre-order clothing, the leather hauberk is a nice alternative that isn't too flashy yet looks nice and can be dyed well to match any of the appearances we discussed. Also, the more I look at them, the more I think that a hauberk goes better with the warsteed uniform look.

In the end though, I think we will look good in whatever we decide to wear! :)

re: Team Uniform

Remind me: are skirmish cosmetics bound to char/account? If we want something unique, we could spend some Wednesdays skirmishing until we have a routine to practice. Or maybe one of those rarer tailor-recipe hauberks? But I'm fine with the Eorlingas or Westfold looks too.

re: Team Uniform

Just to clarify, we pick a new team uniform for each performance.

This routine will be our first on war steeds. The most number of votes was to have something more armor-ish looking than parade style when it comes to tack.

I have no problem with skirmishing as a group for Marks to pick up new cosmetic items.
On a side note, I picked up two more caparisons today, I think Sutcrofts and Entwash. I picked up the one from Rook and the one with the harp on it.

Is there anyone who can't spend 595 TP to unlock an equipment dye pack?
Click here to see the list of which colors come in each pack.

I have no problem with picking up a dye pack, but I do get free TP per month anyway. I also like the idea of doing some skirms to go for something unique.

re: Team Uniform

Okay, I'm going to post 3 more options in case one of them makes y'all go WOW! and breaks the stalemate.

First up, available on Wardrobe Street:

Minus the shoulders. This one doesn't suffer from that bad "skirting" problem when mounted.

May be available to us all via questing:

Looks much nicer dyed a different color.

Also looks better with dyes.
