To defeat the darkness, sometimes you have to become the darkness. Not in character of course – definitely not for a Hobbit! But as the Shire Folk are known for being able to move silently on their feet, sometimes stealth is required. Myrlas is no burglar, but that doesn’t mean he cannot snipe a foe from the shadows, or down an unsuspecting Goblin with a dagger. So here’s Hunter of Shadows, an almost entirely black LOTRO Hobbit outfit – enjoy!
This Hunter Hobbit Outfit in Action
As this was a dark outfit designed for stealth, I took shots at night time here. But you can find the individual outfit components below in a much lighter setting.
Bow of the Wildermore Huntsman in Action
The bow featured in this Hobbit’s outfit is the Bow of Wildermore. There are some really amazing effects LOTRO have built into the Hunter animations. Because Hunter combat is so quick, it’s easy to miss them! I chose this bow for its ornate design, but it is also a bit chunkier for a solid grip.
Not Just a Ranged Class
Even a Hunter cannot run from every foe. Sometimes you need to grab your sword, axe or dagger. Daggers have the handy bonus of having an auto-attack chance buff. I purposefully chose rough-looking daggers for this LOTRO outfit to fit the Hunter of Shadows theme. And again here, LOTRO pull out some fab effects.
Hunter of Shadows: How to Make this Outfit
