How To Change Your Appearance In Monster Hunter Wilds

You can choose to go back and change the appearance of your character and their Palico anytimeat your tent in camp. You’ll need to progress the game just a bit to unlock the base camp though this happens within thefirst hour of the game. From the entrance of the base camp, your tent will be off and to the right of the main entrance, and you can stop by any time.

Your tent can also be found at other camps set up throughout the game and pop-up campsites.
