How to change Tower of Fantasy character appearance in-game¶

When you get into a new server, you will see the introduction and gender choice. You need to select the gender you want to play, as that will be a permanent thing for your character on the server. Make sure you select the gender you want, as it’s non-reversible. After that, create a name and head in-game.

Once you’re in-game, you will play as one of the default characters. Don’t worry about this, as it’s just a tutorial thing. Progress with the mission as normal and continue through the cutscenes and cinematics. You will then wake up in a new game area and meet a character called Sherly. Sherly will make you do a few quests leading up to the Astra Shelter quest.

During the Astra Shelter quest, Sherly takes you to a character called Celine in the shelter of the Bethlehem ship. Proceed with the conversation, and it will then take you to the character creation screen. Here you can change your in-game character appearance in Tower of Fantasy to your preferred look. It will also allow you to import a character ID and load an appearance up you have already made, or one from the community sharing system. Once you have the one you want, confirm it, which will change your character appearance in-game.

If you ever feel that you want to change your character appearance in-game again, you can do so in the backpack. Open up the menu, and click on the backpack button. From there, you can see an outfit button near your character’s feet. Click on that, and you can change your outfit, accessories and more. Some outfits are locked behind Tanium, which is a premium currency. If you want to change your character’s face details, it will cost Dark Crystals, another premium currency you can also earn in-game.

The other method of changing character appearance in Tower of Fantasy is via the Simulacra. When you unlock a Simulacra apperace by looting their assosiciated weapon through the gacha, you unlock their appearance. Simply head into the Simulacra tab on the in-game menu and then select the appropriate button of the Simulacra you have unlocked to become then. If you want to switch back, simply untick the button to return back to your character’s appearance.
