Despite the post-launch buzz around Dragon’s Dogma 2 microtransactions , you can change your entire appearance, and your Main Pawn’s, without spending any real-world money. It just costs in-game currency.
We explain how to change your appearance in Dragon’s Dogma 2 below and point out how to get the Art of Metamorphosis required to do it.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: How to change appearance
You have a few options for changing your appearance, though they all center on the barber’s shop . Major cities have them, and you can find them by opening your map and looking for the scissors icon .
Head inside, and speak to the proprietor. They’ll give you four options. You can:
- Change your hair (10,000 gold)
- Change your markings (10,000 gold)
- Change your makeup (10,000 gold)
- Change all of those (25,000 gold)
The fourth option is a total makeover, which takes you back to the character creation screen either for you or your main Pawn , whichever you choose. The barber only accepts one currency: Art of Metamorphosis .
Where to get Art of Metamorphosis in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Pop over to the local Pawn Guild , and ask to see the proprietor’s wares. Scroll past the specialization incenses, and you’ll see Art of Metamorphosis. In my experience, each guild has two of these to start with. I haven’t been able to verify whether they restock like regular merchants, though.
Each book costs 500 Rift Crystals , so you probably won’t be able to splash out for two full makeovers on your first visit.
