Find out how you can alter your character's looks in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Comments

Are you wondering about how to change your character's appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds well after you've started the campaign? Yes, it's quite possible to alter your character's looks so you can bring down beasts in style. We've got a quick guide to help you with this particular facet.

How to change appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds

There are two ways for you to change the appearance of your Hunter, as well as your Palico companion:

  • Make alterations via your tent at a Base Camp.
  • Use a Character/Palico Edit Voucher from the storefront where you purchased the game.

Changing appearance at your base

If you just want a quick and easy way to change your character's appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds, simply interact with your tent at a Base Camp and go to the Appearance Menu tab. Select the Change Appearance option so you can tweak the following:

  • Hair
  • Eyebrow/eyelash
  • Eye color
  • Mouth
  • Facial hair
  • Makeup/face paint
  • Voice pitch
  • Bearing
  • Clothing
  • Underclothes

This is also where you can change your Palico's fur pattern/color, eyes, tail shape, and more.

You can partially edit a few facets of your character, including their default clothing.

Changing appearance by using a voucher

As you may have noticed, there are a few options that you can't alter via your tent. For these tweaks, you're going to need a Character Edit Voucher (for your Hunter) or a Palico Edit Voucher (for your trusty cat companion).

If you go to the Monster Hunter Wilds store page of your chosen platform, you should see a Free Trial Version for these vouchers. Note that these are one-time use only.

To spend these vouchers, launch the game and choose your save file. You should notice the Edit Character option. Select this to completely tweak everything about your Hunter, including body type, skin tone, and voice type. It's basically akin to redoing character creation from the start of the campaign.

The Monster Hunter Wilds store page has vouchers that allow you to fully alter your character.

Once you've used up your Free Trial vouchers, your only recourse if you want to edit your character's looks down the line is to purchase more vouchers. These are the ones that are available in the store page:

  • 3x Character Edit Voucher: Three Voucher Pack: $6.99
  • 3x Palico Edit Voucher: Three Voucher Pack: $6.99
  • 3x Character and Palico Edit Voucher: Three Voucher Pack: $9.99
