Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)

Let's dive into customizing your character's physical appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds. The game offers an incredibly detailed character creator, allowing you to craft an avatar that could closely resemble you in real life.

If you decide you want to make some changes later in the game, you're in luck. Once you've unlocked the base camp, head to your tent and navigate to the Appearance Menu by pressing L1 or R1. From there, select the "Change Appearance" option, and you'll have access to the character creator once more. This allows you to tweak both your Hunter and Palico's looks to your heart's content.

How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

The Layered Armor feature is available right from the start of Monster Hunter Wilds. To access it, go to your tent, enter the Appearance Menu, and choose "Equipment Appearance." This option lets you customize your Hunter's outfit to your liking, but remember, you're limited to the Layered Armor items you've unlocked. You can't use this feature to transmog your equipped armor with other armor types you've forged in the game.

There's also a "Palico Equipment Appearance" option, which lets you apply Layered Armor to your Palico.

If the Layered Armor options don't meet your style, the only other way to change your outfit is by forging and equipping new armor. Keep in mind that each piece of equipment has different stats, so it's crucial not to sacrifice functionality for fashion.

Seikret Customization

Lastly, don't forget about Seikret Customization, which you can find in the Appearance Menu. This feature allows you to alter the Seikret's skin and feather colors and play around with settings like its pattern, decoration type, and even its eye color.

That's the complete guide on how to change your outfits and appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
