Dragon’s Dogma 2: How To Change Your Appearance

gameranx.com:

If you’re like us, you just can’t put down the Dragon’s Dogma 2 character creator. We’re spending hours making our characters and pawns perfect, and thankfully your choices are not set in stone. After jumping into the actual game, there are ways to totally remodel your characters and pawns. But, like everything else in Dragon’s Dogma 2, the method is really weird. If you want to change your Arisen after 20 hours of gameplay, there are a couple ways to do it.

To change more than just your Arisen’s hair / tattoos, you’ll need to acquire the Art of Metamorphosis item. This item allows you to totally re-customize your character.

To buy an Art of Metamorphosis travel to Vernworth and find the Grand Riftstone in the middle of the city — this is the Pawn Guild building. To the left of the Grand Riftstone, you’ll find a vendor that trades in Rift Crystals. The
