How to Change Outfit & Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds

Character customization is a cornerstone of any great RPG, and Monster Hunter Wilds truly shines in this department. If you're wondering how to tweak your character's look in Monster Hunter Wilds, we've got you covered.

Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)

Monster Hunter Wilds Character Creation

First, let's address your hunter's physical appearance. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a detailed character creator, letting you craft an avatar that might even resemble your real-life self. But don't worry if you want to make adjustments later. Once you've unlocked base camp, simply enter your tent, navigate to the Appearance Menu (using L1 or R1), select "Change Appearance," and you'll have full access to the character creator to refine your hunter's and palico's looks.

How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

Monster Hunter Wilds Layered Armor

The Layered Armor feature is available from the game's start. Again, head to your tent, access the Appearance Menu, and choose "Equipment Appearance." This lets you customize your hunter's outfit using unlocked Layered Armor items. Remember, you're limited to the Layered Armor you've acquired; you can't transmog your equipped armor with other forged armor sets. The same "Equipment Appearance" option also allows you to customize your Palico's look with Layered Armor.

If you're not satisfied with the Layered Armor choices, your only other option for changing outfits is to forge and equip new armor. Keep in mind that each piece of equipment has different stats, so balance fashion with functionality!

Seikret Customization

Finally, the Appearance Menu also includes Seikret Customization. Here, you can adjust your Seikret's skin and feather colors, along with patterns, decoration types, and even eye color.

That's how you change your appearance and outfits in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more tips and guides, be sure to check out The Escapist!
