You can also customize the colors and materials of your equipment and that of your mounts and combine them as you like.
We will explain how to do this.
Here’s how to customize your appearance in Crimson Desert
If you want to adjust the direct appearance of the characters, you need to visit a barber. You can unlock one for your camp by completing as many side quests for the gray manes as possible and expanding the camp.
You can choose from various options for all 3 characters and also dye them however you like. Equipped headgear can be hidden, giving you a better view of your customizations.
Customizing and dyeing equipment – here’s how
If you want to dye your equipment or that of your mounts and tools, you need to go to a dye house. You can find one right near Hernand:
Alternatively, you can also complete as many side quests for your gray manes camp to unlock an in-house dyer.
There, you can extensively customize each of your equipment pieces and also dye them in different sections or change the material or pattern.
You can also save colors and try out different combinations before applying them. To obtain colors or materials, you have to find them in the open world, craft them in the alchemy kettle, or buy them from merchants.
Unfortunately, there is currently no option in Crimson Desert to overlay the appearance of another piece of equipment onto the currently worn one, so you can only customize the appearance of the equipment pieces you are currently wearing.
In Crimson Desert, you can take on the role of one of the 3 playable characters and switch between them. They can also fight by your side.
