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)

Monster Hunter Wilds Character Creation

First, let's talk about your character's physical appearance. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a detailed character creator, letting you craft an avatar that's remarkably close to your real-life self. But what if you want to make changes later? No problem! Once you've unlocked base camp, head to your tent and navigate to the Appearance Menu (using L1 or R1). Select "Change Appearance" to access the creator again and adjust your Hunter and Palico's looks.

How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

Monster Hunter Wilds Layered Armor

Layered Armor is unlocked right from the start. Again, go to your tent, open the Appearance Menu, and choose "Equipment Appearance." This lets you customize your Hunter's outfit using unlocked Layered Armor items. Keep in mind, you're limited to what you've unlocked; you can't transmog your equipped armor with other forged armor. The same "Equipment Appearance" option also allows you to customize your Palico's look with Layered Armor.

If Layered Armor isn't your style, the only other way to change your outfit is by crafting and equipping new armor. Remember, each piece has different stats, so don't let fashion completely overshadow function!

Seikret Customization

The Appearance Menu also features Seikret Customization. Here, you can adjust your Seikret's skin and feather colors, patterns, decoration types, and even eye color.

And there you have it—everything you need to know about changing your appearance and outfits in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more Monster Hunter Wilds tips and guides, check out The Escapist!
