How to Change Outfit & Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds

Character customization is a cornerstone of any great RPG, and Monster Hunter Wilds delivers in spades. Want to know 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 appearance. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a detailed character creator, letting you craft an avatar remarkably close to your real-life self. But don't worry if you want to make adjustments later. Once you've unlocked base camp, simply head to your tent and navigate to the Appearance Menu (using L1 or R1). Select "Change Appearance" to revisit the creator and fine-tune your Hunter and Palico's looks.

How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

The Layered Armor feature is available from the game's outset. Again, access your tent's Appearance Menu, then choose "Equipment Appearance." This lets you customize your Hunter's outfit using unlocked Layered Armor items. Note: you can only use the Layered Armor you've acquired; you can't transmog your equipped armor with other forged pieces. A similar option exists for your Palico's Equipment Appearance.

If Layered Armor doesn't quite hit the mark, the only other way to change your outfit is by crafting and equipping new armor. Remember, each piece has different stats, so balance fashion with function!

Seikret Customization

The Appearance Menu also includes Seikret Customization. Here, you can adjust 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, check out The Escapist!
