Lydia's Lotro: Low-Level Outfitting: Captain Starter Outfit

For an introduction/explanation of this Starting Outfit series, check out this post.

Only the race of man can choose the captain class. Captains provide healing in the heat of battle and inspire their allies to great feats of strength and courage. Since captains need more armor, they are one of the two classes given shoulder pads to start. In total the captain is given five medium armor pieces in a red, gold, and black theme:

1. Leather Jacket (red and gold)
This piece is made of squares of leather sewn together with thongs. Only the center "vest" portion dyes.

2. Leather Shoulder Pads (black and gold)
These shoulders dye everywhere you see black. These could become wardrobe staples if you like the patchwork look.

3. Leather Gauntlets (red and gold)
Only the cuffs dye, but these are worth holding on to.

4. Leather Leggings (black and gold)
Only the black portion dyes. I find the gold markings to be a bit awkward and personally would not keep them long.

5. Leather Boots (gold)
These boots dye all over, so if you like the strappy, big boot look, these are keepers.

Pictured at right is the Captain starter outfit dyed in a regal purple. A purple or gold cloak and a bold helm would make this outfit battle-ready!
