Character customization is a key element in any successful RPG, and Monster Hunter Wilds delivers in spades. If you're wondering how to tweak your hunter's look, we've got you covered.
Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)
First, let's address your character's physical attributes. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a detailed character creator, letting you craft an avatar that closely resembles your real-life self (if you so desire!).
Need to make adjustments later in the game? No problem. Once you've unlocked base camp, head to your tent and access the Appearance Menu (using L1 or R1). Select "Change Appearance" to revisit the character creator and adjust your Hunter's and Palico's looks.
How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor
The Layered Armor feature is available from the game's outset. Again, navigate to your tent, then the Appearance Menu, and choose "Equipment Appearance." This lets you customize your Hunter's outfit using unlocked Layered Armor items. Remember, you can only use the Layered Armor you've acquired; you can't transmog your equipped armor with other armor types you've crafted.
A similar "Palico Equipment Appearance" option allows you to equip your Palico with Layered Armor.
If Layered Armor doesn't quite satisfy your fashion sense, your only other option is forging and equipping new armor. Keep in mind that each piece of equipment has different stats, so don't let style completely overshadow function!
Seikret Customization
The Appearance Menu also includes Seikret Customization. Here, you can alter your Seikret's skin and feather colors, patterns, decorations, and even eye color.
That's how you change your appearance and outfits in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more game tips and guides, be sure to check out The Escapist!
