Hogwarts Legacy: How to Change Your Gear Appearance

Changing the appearance of certain Gear in Hogwarts Legacy revolves around the options players have, as they can explore cosmetics within their menu.

A useful quality of life feature in Hogwarts Legacy can be seen through the appearance of Gear, which players can customize and change based on the items they have acquired throughout their adventure. From the General Appearance of their Outfit to the external look of wand handles, brooms, and even flying mounts, players have a wide range of options to create their best-looking witch or wizard. Through simple prompts seen past an easy-to-understand menu, players will have little to no issues changing their Gear as they see fit.

Once players complete the first quest of the main story of Hogwarts Legacy, “Welcome to Hogwarts,” they can access their Field Guide, which leads them to a Gear section. From here, there are six categories of General Appearance that may be modified individually, though choices will be slim at this point in the game unless players have purchased extra content through the deluxe edition.

As seen by content creator GosuNoob, the six divisions of Gear seen are Handwear, Facewear, Headwear, Neckwear, Cloaks and Robes, and finally, Outfit. Equipped items show sell values and magical properties, but players looking to change their look will swiftly see an option labeled “Change Appearance” appear when hovering over any piece of Gear.

How To Transmog in Hogwarts Legacy

When making their choice in Hogwarts Legacy based on the aforementioned prompt, players are taken to a screen that shows two subsections called “Collections” and “Other.” This represents the other appearances of gear players have encountered during the game, as current equipment may only be changed externally based on items seen before. Collections are based on pieces of Gear gathered for finishing quests or missions, while “Other” reflects every piece of gear players have ever kept in their inventory. Simply choosing which appearance from these options alters the Gear being worn, visible from the character model being shown.

More abstract pieces of Gear are also subject to transmog mechanics in the game, as players may change their Wand Handles after completing the quest, “Welcome to Hogsmeade.” Brooms in Hogwarts Legacy become available for players to modify once their “Flying Class” mission has concluded with Professor Kogawa, while Flying Mounts may be given a new cosmetic adjustment once seasons change to Fall and “The High Keep” mission is finished. The same process used to change the appearance of Gear in Hogwarts Legacy applies to these items as well, letting players navigate their menu without any complicated differences.
