To change your character’s look, you must first build the Salon in Wishvale. This requires progressing the “Kindlers of the Flame” questline. Once you unlock the Salon blueprint, it’s completely free. Upgrading the Salon unlocks more customization options. In this guide, we will show you how to change character appearance in Octopath Traveler 0.
How to Change Character Appearance
To change your character’s look, you will need to build a Salon in Wishvale. To build it, you must unlock its blueprint. First, you need to progress through the “Kindlers of the Flame” quest line and unlock Rippletide in Coastlands Region. You need to raise your town to level 3. Follow the quest marker and talk to Illian and Olive on the other side of the bridge.
After that, return to Wishvale and build a house for them. Go back to Rippletide and invite both of them to move to Wishvale. Then head back and assign them to the large house you built. Now you need a total of 15 residents living in Wishvale. Completing those side missions will raise your town to Level 3. Once your town reaches Level 3, you will unlock the option to build the Salon.
How to Build the Salon
Once you have the blueprint, gather 20 lumber, 20 stones, and 20 cloth to build the Salon. After building it, switch to Town Building mode, select the Salon, and use the Housing option to assign a resident to it. To upgrade the Salon, you will need Radiant Cornerstones, a special item dropped only by elite enemies in dungeons. You need 2 stones for Grade 2 and 4 stones for Grade 3.
Change Character Appearance
Now, you need to enter the Salon and talk to the NPC. Here, you need to choose Reset Appearance. Remember, it is completely free. The Salon has three upgrade levels, and each one unlocks more customization options. For grade 1, you will get basic hairstyles and hair colors, plus two extra options for each. For grade 2, motions and voice options, and room for one more resident. For grade 3, Body, face, skin color, and eye color options, including two new eye colors.
