Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)

Let's delve into how you can modify your character's physical appearance in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. The game boasts a detailed character creator that allows you to craft an avatar that can closely resemble you in real life. If you decide you want to tweak your character's look later in the game, you can easily do so. 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, which will give you access to the character creator again. This way, you can adjust the appearance of both your Hunter and Palico.

How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

The Layered Armor feature is available from the very beginning of *Monster Hunter Wilds*. To utilize this feature, visit your tent and access the Appearance Menu, then select "Equipment Appearance." This will allow you to customize your Hunter's outfit to your liking, but remember, you're limited to the Layered Armor items you've unlocked. You can't transmog your equipped armor with other armor types you've forged in the game.

There's also an option for Palico Equipment Appearance, which lets you apply Layered Armor items to your Palico. If the Layered Armor options don't meet your style preferences, the only other way to change your outfit is by forging and equipping new armor. Keep in mind that every piece of equipment has different stats, so you shouldn't sacrifice functionality for fashion too heavily.

Seikret Customization

Lastly, don't forget about the Seikret Customization option in the Appearance Menu. This feature lets you alter your Seikret's skin and feather color, as well as tweak various settings such as its pattern, decoration type, and even its eye color.

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