Character customization plays a pivotal role in enhancing the immersive experience of any role-playing game, and Monster Hunter Wilds truly shines in this aspect. If you're curious about how to alter your character's appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds, here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate through the customization options.
Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)
Let's delve into the details of customizing your character's physical appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds. The game boasts an impressive character creator that allows you to craft an avatar that can closely resemble your real-life appearance.
If you find yourself needing to tweak your character midway through the game, fear not. Once you've unlocked the base camp, head to your tent and navigate to the Appearance Menu by pressing L1 or R1. Select the "Change Appearance" option, and you'll be able to revisit the character creator to adjust both the Hunter and Palico's looks to your heart's content.
How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor
The Layered Armor feature, which is available right from the start of Monster Hunter Wilds, allows you to personalize your Hunter's appearance without affecting their stats. To access this feature, return to your tent and enter the Appearance Menu, then choose "Equipment Appearance." Here, you can customize your Hunter's outfit using the Layered Armor items you've unlocked. Keep in mind, though, you can't transmog your current armor with other armor types you've forged.
Your Palico isn't left out either, as there's an option for "Palico Equipment Appearance" where you can apply Layered Armor items to your furry companion.
If the Layered Armor options don't meet your style preferences, the alternative is to forge and equip new armor. However, remember that each piece of equipment comes with different stats, so it's crucial to balance fashion with functionality.
Seikret Customization
Lastly, don't overlook the Seikret Customization feature in the Appearance Menu. This allows you to modify the Seikret's skin and feather color, and experiment with various settings such as patterns, decoration types, and even eye color to make your Seikret truly unique.
