Stunlock Studios’ V Rising launched out of early access on May 8, and Version 1.0 brought multiple exciting changes to the already sizable game. One of these was the ability to transmog armor, which many players had been clamoring for. Customizing the look of your armor is a welcome addition, but it’s easy to overlook just how to do it.
Change the color and transmog your armor in V Rising
In your inventory in V Rising, there’s a little arrow above each armor piece. Clicking the arrow will open a menu that allows you to pick from pre-selected palettes to change the color scheme of your chest, leg, feet, and hand armor.
To the left of the array of tantalizing color combos is a grayed-out icon that represents the currently selected armor slot. Transmog your gear by dragging and dropping another armor piece from your inventory onto this icon, and you can use any armor you have access to. So at level 85, you can still sport the look of that the low-level armor set that you enjoyed so much, and the Midnight Ball Gown with no armor value that you’ve been carrying around finally makes sense.
Change your character’s appearance with a mirror
You can also change your character’s physical attributes in V Rising at any time, once you’ve learned how to craft mirrors. To do this, track and kill your first V Blood to complete the “Blood Hunt” quest. This will unlock the Research Desk blueprint, and interacting with the desk will reward you with the ability to make mirrors and access the character creation options.
V Rising 1.0 added all kinds of new goodies, like passive buffs, rift events, and even Castlevania’s Simon Belmont the Vampire Hunter. But for those of us who enjoy decorating our castle and tweaking our appearance, the ability to transmog our gear was one of the best additions.
