That tip about ONLY using dyes in the wardrobe and NOT in your inventory is excellent. I wonder how many people are getting screwed with the dyes by not doing this.
Excellent guide. If you do one like this again, it might be better to demonstrate dying with a cloak rather than a helmet because cloaks are larger and therefore the colors are easier to spot, especially against the non-dyable highlights. I really enjoy the game's cosmetics system. Besides the VIP subscription and expansions, additional Wardrobe space is one of the only things I have spent real-world money on (by buying some LOTRO Points). I have mine maxed at 370 slots and even that's not enough! 1:09 "I know it's rather small..." 3:04 "I cannot expand the small little window..." Quite a while ago you made a guide video about skins. The skins you demonstrated all made major changes to the look of the UI. However, skins can also do small, useful things which don't change the overall look or function of the game's default UI. The skin I created, SmallerMainMap (can't link or UA-cam will delete my comment), is actually a pack of 3 different skins: 1- SmallerMainMap makes the main map smaller (and corrects its aspect ratio) so you can keep fighting and moving in the game world while examining the main map. 2- LargerDressingRoom which makes the dressing room window larger so you can more easily examine outfits. 3- LDR-SMM which is both combined. They do nothing else so no pictures, no wacky backgrounds around the skill buttons, or anything else at all; they just make the main map smaller and/or the dressing room larger. Like you, I like the game's default UI and see no special value in the "total conversion"-type skins, but SmallerMainMap and LargerDressingRoom make the game easier to play and more fun - for me. If you try them and don't like them, you can always turn them off!
I'm a little confused on the dying. Does the dye in wardrobe work on that specific piece like your helmet example? Or does it mean you unlocked that color dye for everything in the helmet slot regardless? The latter would make more sense to me as worthwhile. If you have to buy every single dye that exists for every single piece of outfits off the festivals alone, that is an absurd amount. The hoarder in me is scared to sell or destroy the origonal outfit pieces. But my outfit storage elf, has 95% of the inventory bags full between 2 years worth of festivals lol. Also whenever I play my Dwarf Guardian, I swear he speaks some jibberish hebrew. It's pretty close.
The specific piece that you apply the dye to applies only on that piece forever. You can then change the colors you added that specific piece for different characters pulling out That same piece armor as different colors as many times as you want. You will have to get a single dye item color, let's say navy blue, for every single piece of armor if you so desire. It will not work on the entire wardrobe for only 1 dye item. But once you apply it to a price of army, that single piece will have that color forever in the wardrobe. Side note, if you put in a piece of armor already with a dye, it will only have that color. So it's better to put it in with its default color and then apply the dye item in the wardrobe. It would be cool if you could just get all the colors for everything. But it would also make making dyes totally worthless at a point. And it is a crafting profession. Hope that helps!
Be sure your mouse cursor is hovering over an equippable item. If that doesn't work, it is possible that you have either ctl-LCLICK or LCLICK set to something other than the default, you can check in OPTIONS->KEY MAPPING. If you are looking for the Wardrobe but can't find it, you might not have any Wardrobe slots. VIPs get 20 Wardrobe slots, anyone can buy Wardrobe slots in the in-game LOTRO Store for LOTRO Points. But F2P/Premium accounts do not have access to the Wardrobe if they don't own any Wardrobe slots.
@@JohnMHammer Thank you. The dressing room is working now with CTRL-Left click. I had ctrl-left set to something else. The only reason my other hotkey was not working was because I was trying it without hovering over an item first.
As always, sharing your superb guide on our kin's FB & Discord, thank you!

Yep. It's something most would miss too
Me! 🤣
Many thanks for this info. I always wished there was a way to dye items that I had in Wardrobe...lol. It was there all the time!

CTRl left clicking does not open the dressing window for me. The hotkey also is not working. WTF?
