Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)
At the heart of Monster Hunter Wilds lies a robust character creation tool, enabling you to craft an avatar that mirrors your real-life likeness—or something entirely fantastical. Should you wish to tweak your appearance mid-game, simply head to your tent after unlocking the base camp. Navigate to the Appearance Menu by pressing L1 or R1, then select the Change Appearance option to dive back into the character customization interface.
How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor
Layered Armor becomes available right from the beginning of Monster Hunter Wilds. To access it, follow the same steps: go to your tent, open the Appearance Menu, and choose Equipment Appearance. This lets you tailor your Hunter's outfit according to your preference, though you're restricted to Layered Armor items you've already unlocked. Unfortunately, you can't swap out your current armor for other types you've crafted.
A similar option exists for customizing your Palico's equipment appearance.
If Layered Armor doesn't suit your style, the only alternative is to forge and equip new armor pieces. Keep in mind that each piece carries distinct stats, so balance aesthetics with functionality.
Seikret Customization
Lastly, the Appearance Menu offers Seikret Customization. Here, you can modify the Seikret's skin and feather colors, along with adjusting various settings such as patterns, decorations, and even eye color.
