How to Change Outfit & Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds

By SarahMar 16,2025

Character customization is a cornerstone of any great RPG, and Monster Hunter Wilds delivers in spades. If you're wondering how to tweak your hunter's look, we've got you covered.

Changing Appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds (Hunter and Palico)

Monster Hunter Wilds Character Creation

Monster Hunter Wilds boasts a detailed character creator, letting you craft a hunter that closely resembles your real-world self. But what if you want to make adjustments later? No problem! Once you've unlocked base camp, simply enter your tent and navigate to the Appearance Menu (using L1 or R1). Select "Change Appearance" to revisit the character creator and adjust both your Hunter and Palico's looks.

How to Change Outfits and Use Layered Armor

Monster Hunter Wilds Layered Armor

Layered Armor is available from the start of Monster Hunter Wilds. Again, head to your tent, access the Appearance Menu, and choose "Equipment Appearance." This lets you customize your hunter's outfit using unlocked Layered Armor pieces. Remember, you can only use the Layered Armor you've acquired; you can't transmog your equipped armor with other armor types. The same feature is available for your Palico's equipment.

If Layered Armor doesn't offer the look you're after, your only other option is forging and equipping new armor. Keep in mind that each piece affects your stats, so don't let fashion completely overshadow function.

Seikret Customization

The Appearance Menu also includes Seikret Customization. Here, you can adjust your Seikret's skin and feather colors, patterns, decorations, 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!
