Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)

First, let's explore how to adjust your character's physical appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds. The game offers a comprehensive character creator that allows you to craft an avatar that could closely resemble your real-life self.

If you decide to tweak your look partway through your adventure, it's easy to do. Once you've unlocked the base camp, head to your tent and navigate to the Appearance Menu using L1 or R1. Select the "Change Appearance" option to revisit the character creator and modify both your Hunter and Palico's appearance.

How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

The Layered Armor feature is available from the very beginning of Monster Hunter Wilds. To access it, go to your tent, enter the Appearance Menu, and choose "Equipment Appearance." This allows you to customize your Hunter's outfit with the Layered Armor items you've unlocked. Note that you can't transmog your equipped armor with other armor types you've crafted in the game.

There's also an option for "Palico Equipment Appearance," where you can apply Layered Armor items to your Palico.

If the Layered Armor options don't suit your taste, you can change your outfit by forging and equipping new armor. Keep in mind, though, that each piece of equipment has different stats, so it's important to balance style with performance.

Seikret Customization

Lastly, the Appearance Menu includes an option for Seikret Customization. This feature lets you alter your Seikret's skin and feather colors, as well as customize its pattern, decoration type, and even eye color.

And that's how you can change your outfits and appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
