Wondering how to change appearance in Monster Hunter Wilds without wasting resources? Since its February 28, 2025 launch, hunters have two options. Visit any Base Camp tent for free adjustments to hair and makeup during adventures. Or use vouchers for complete makeovers including face shape and gender. AntGames has tested both systems extensively for this guide. We’ll walk you through tent-based editing, voucher costs, and Palico customization tips. Master these tools to create a standout hunter for Grand Hub social events or simply refresh your look before tackling that Doshaguma.
Change Appearance Without a Voucher
The tent-based editor offers free appearance changes without consuming valuable vouchers. This method is perfect for hunters who want quick adjustments during their adventures.
- Enter a Base Camp tent in any biome (such as Windward Plains)
- Select Appearance Menu
- Choose Change Appearance for Hunter or Palico
- Adjust available features
- Save changes
Available options:
- Hunter: Hair, makeup, facial hair, posture, underclothes
- Palico: Fur pattern, eyes, tail shape
This method works anywhere with a Base Camp, making it convenient for on-the-fly changes. The tent editor won’t let you alter face shape or gender, but it’s ideal for frequent style updates without spending real money.
Use Character and Palico Edit Vouchers
For major appearance changes, you’ll need the voucher-based editor. Access this system through the save data menu by pressing Square on PS5 (or equivalent on other platforms). This editor allows comprehensive customization beyond what the tent offers.
| Voucher Type | Cost | Editable Features | Access Method |
| Character Edit Voucher | Free (trial), $6.99 (3x) | Face shape, gender, skin tone, eyes, name | Save Data Menu (Square) |
| Palico Edit Voucher | Free (trial), $6.99 (3x) | Fur, eyes, tail, skin tone, name | Save Data Menu (Square) |
| Combined Pack | $9.99 (3x each) | All Hunter and Palico features | Save Data Menu |
Each new player receives one free Character Edit Voucher and one free Palico Edit Voucher. Use these wisely, as additional changes require purchasing vouchers from the store. The editor provides a preview mode so you can experiment before confirming your changes.
Tips for Customizing Your Hunter and Palico
Standing out in Monster Hunter Wilds’ multiplayer spaces—especially the Grand Hub added in Title Update 1 on April 3, 2025—requires strategic use of customization tools. Combine tent edits, vouchers, and layered armor to create a truly unique hunter.
- Save vouchers for major changes (face shape, gender) to conserve costs
- Use the tent editor for frequent tweaks like hair or Palico fur during hunts
- Equip layered armor (available via Cosmetic DLC or quests) for stylish gear without stat loss
- Claim free Blossomdance Festival cosmetics (cherry blossom-themed armor, Seikret decorations) before May 6, 2025
- Experiment in the save data editor’s preview mode before confirming voucher use
Remember that a distinctive appearance helps fellow hunters recognize you during multiplayer hunts and in social spaces. The upcoming Blossomdance Festival provides limited-time cosmetic options that can further distinguish your character.
Customize your hunter however you want in Monster Hunter Wilds. Use tents for free, quick changes or vouchers for complete makeovers. Both keep you looking fresh in the Forbidden Lands.
