Monster Hunter Rise: Outfit & Appearance Changes

Character customization is a cornerstone of any great RPG, and Monster Hunter Wilds truly shines in this area. Want to know how to tweak your hunter's look? We've got you covered.

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, letting you craft a virtual self that's remarkably lifelike. But what if you want to make adjustments later? No problem! Once you've unlocked base camp, simply head to your tent and open the Appearance Menu (using L1 or R1). Select "Change Appearance" to revisit the character creator and fine-tune your hunter's and palico's looks.

How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

Layered Armor is available right from the start of Monster Hunter Wilds. Again, access the Appearance Menu from your tent and choose "Equipment Appearance." This lets you customize your hunter's outfit with unlocked Layered Armor pieces. Remember, you're limited to the layered armor you've acquired; you can't transmog your equipped armor with other armor types you've crafted. 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 forging and equipping new armor. Keep in mind that each piece of equipment has different stats, so don't let fashion completely overshadow function!

Seikret Customization

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

That's all there is to changing your appearance and outfits in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more tips and tricks, be sure to check out The Escapist!
