Outfit in Role-Play
It can be easy to forget that an MMORPG is still an RPG! For other cosmetics I’ve put together I’ve shown the character in-combat. Here, though, such exertion is not necessary. Running a market stall in the Shire may be a fight against other traders, but not that kind of fight!
Travelling Between Markets
In this Hobbit outfit, I wanted to include a steed. Ponies can be used to transport your goods between markets – and your snacks en route, naturally.
Checking Out the Competition
You won’t be the only grocer at the market. So it’s important you check out your competition’s goods too. And plan your next meal accordingly.
Markets Aren’t All About Food
Sometimes a woodworker has to sell whatever they can. Lamuna crafts a few quick weapons to sell on the side.
Off to Market – Cosmetics Close Up
There are only four cosmetics items of clothing visible in this Hobbit outfit. I have also included a rather novel one-handed ‘weapon’ – see below on where to obtain it!
Other Items You Could Use
I was missing a couple of hand-held items from my store of cosmetics. I will remedy this at the Farmers Faire. But extra items you could use are below. Links provided are to the LOTRO Wiki to help you. Links to festivals are to my own Event Guides here.
- Basket of Colourful Eggs (Farmers Faire)
- Basket of Apples (Fall Festival)
- Basket of Freshly Picked Apples (Farmers Faire)
If you have a war-steed and are selling flowers at the market, the Basket of Sunflowers would be perfect.
How to Make This Outfit
After admiring – and sampling – some of the delicious goods on sale, it’s time to wipe the crumbs from your mouth and put this little Hobbit outfit together!
- Head: Circlet of Fresh-picked Flowers, Farmers Faire Cosmetic
- Shoulders: Autumn Shade Shoulders (Lalia’s Market, Mannequin Mithril Coin purchase)
- Upper Body: Farmer’s Fancy Tunic and Trousers, Farmers Faire Cosmetics, Walnut Brown Dye
- Back: Fastred’s Fine Cloak (Wiki Info), Rohan Quest Reward, Walnut Brown Dye
- Slots Left Empty: Legs & Feet (both pre-determined by the Tunic), Hands
- One-Handed Melée Weapon: Bread of the Third Age (Wiki Info), Bingo Boffin/Bert Bartleby in Moria
- Mount: Picnic Steed, previous Farmers Faire reward
TL;DR Enjoy this Farmer’s Market-themed Hobbit Outfit!
With my LOTRO outfits, the aim is provide some for combat and some for role-playing. With Off to Market, I hope it’s helped you think about how to dress your LOTRO characters when not rushing from quest-to-quest. Enjoy your time in Middle-Earth and watch this space for more outfits!
