Monster Hunter Rise: Customize Your Hunter's Look

Character customization is a cornerstone of any great RPG, and Monster Hunter Wilds delivers in spades. If you're wondering how to tweak your hunter's look, you've come to the right place.

Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)

Let's start with your hunter's physical appearance. Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a detailed character creator, allowing for a surprisingly realistic avatar. Need to make adjustments later? No problem. Once you've unlocked base camp, head to your tent and access the Appearance Menu (L1 or R1). Select "Change Appearance" to revisit the character creator and fine-tune your hunter and palico's looks.

How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

Layered Armor is unlocked from the game's outset. Again, access the Appearance Menu from your tent and choose "Equipment Appearance." This lets you customize your hunter's outfit using unlocked Layered Armor items. Remember, you can only use the Layered Armor you've obtained; you can't transmog your equipped armor with other armor types. The same Equipment Appearance option also allows you to customize your palico's look with Layered Armor.

If you're not a fan of the available Layered Armor, the only other way to change outfits is by crafting and equipping new armor. Keep in mind that each piece of equipment has different stats, so balance fashion with functionality!

Seikret Customization

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

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