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 eager to learn how to tweak your character's appearance in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you're in the right place. Let's dive into the details.

Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)

Monster Hunter Wilds Character Customization

*Monster Hunter Wilds* offers an incredibly detailed character creator, enabling you to craft an avatar that can closely resemble your real-life appearance. If you feel the need to make changes after starting your journey, you can do so effortlessly. Once you've unlocked the base camp, make your way to your tent and access the Appearance Menu by pressing L1 or R1. From there, select the Change Appearance option, and you'll be back in the character creator, ready to adjust the looks of both your Hunter and Palico.

How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

Monster Hunter Wilds Layered Armor

The Layered Armor feature becomes available right from the start of *Monster Hunter Wilds*. To access it, head to your tent and navigate to the Appearance Menu, then select Equipment Appearance. This allows you to customize your Hunter's outfit using the Layered Armor items you've unlocked. Keep in mind, you can't transmog your equipped armor with other types you've forged in the game.

Similarly, the Palico Equipment Appearance option lets you use Layered Armor items to style your Palico. If the Layered Armor options don't satisfy your style preferences, the only other way to change your outfit is by forging and equipping new armor. Just remember, each piece of equipment has different stats, so it's wise to balance fashion with functionality.

Seikret Customization

Lastly, don't overlook the Seikret Customization option in the Appearance Menu. Here, you can personalize your Seikret's appearance by changing its skin and feather colors, as well as experimenting with various patterns, decoration types, 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 information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
