How to change appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds

One of the main characters of Monster Hunter Wilds

You could read hundreds of tips and tricks on Monster Hunter Wilds for things like customizing your radial menu or playing with friends, but you are left to your own devices when creating your character. You have a ton of options thrown at you before even setting foot in the world, let alone picking your weapon and fighting a monster, such as your face, hair, clothes, eyes, ears, and more. You could spend hours making the perfect character, but if you get a bit impatient and end up skipping over most of it so you can get to the game, you’re not stuck with what you have. There are some limitations, but this is how you can change your character’s appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds after starting the game.

You will need to play a bit of Monster Hunter Wilds before you can access the appearance menu, but once you can visit your base camp you can freely do it as many times as you like. All you need to do is go inside, tab over to the Appearance Menu on the far right and select Change Appearance.

It needs to be noted that changing your appearance is slightly different than editing your character. The latter requires the use of consumable character edit vouchers and has to be accessed from the main menu.

This is a list of all the aspects of your character you can change from the Change Appearance menu for free:

  • Hair
  • Voice Pitch
  • Demeanor
  • Eyebrows
  • Eyelashes
  • Mouth
  • Makeup/Face Paint
  • Innerwear
  • Eyes
  • Beard
  • Underwear

These options, on the other hand, are locked and can only be changed if you use a voucher:

  • Eye Area
  • Contour
  • Name
  • Skin
  • Nose
  • Body Type
  • Starting Armor
  • Voice

How to make a saddle in Minecraft
A Minecraft character in a stable.

You tamed a horse in Minecraft, but the beast still has a mind of its own -- it absolutely will not follow your lead. You can corral it inside a fence, but trying to ride it isn't working like you hoped. Aside from flying, horses are one of the fastest ways to travel, but to take control of your mount, you need a saddle. Previously, you weren't able to craft a saddle and would have to get one in other ways, including trades at villages, exploration, and fishing. However, after many years, we are finally able to make a saddle for ourselves and we will show you exactly how to do it.

The trailers how off a distinctly Remedy-style game, with strange events and monsters around every corner, but if you were drawn to the studio's past games for being single-player experiences, you might be unsure about this one. Thankfully, you have the chance to dive into the Oldest House early by signing up for the closed technical test. Here's our memo on how to do it.
