After the communal backlash targetingDragon’s Dogma 2‘s microtransactions, it’s a welcomed surprise to see a modder create a mod that gives players as much free in-game Art of Metamorphosis, the item you need to change your appearance, as they want. Here’s how it works.
How to change your appearance for free in Dragon’s Dogma 2
The only way to fullychange your Arisen’s and Pawn’s appearancein Dragon’s Dogma 2 is to use Art of Metamorphosis. You can spend USD $1.99 to buy one Art of Metamorphosis or spend 500 RC in-game to get an Art of Metamorphosis. Honestly, both methods are costly — one costs time, and the other costs actual money. There’s a third option for PC Dragon’s Dogma 2 players and it’s todownload the Early n’ Cheap Art of Metamorphosis mod.
The Early n’ Cheap Art of Metamorphosis mod is the way to go, especially because it allows you toavoid deleting your Dragon’s Dogma 2 saves. The Early n’ Cheap Art of Metamorphosis mod iscreated by SilverEzredesand is available for freeon Nexus Mods. With the mod installed, you can buy up to 99 Art of Metamorphosises, which cost 10 Gold each, from the first merchant in Melve and Philbert’s Sundries in Vernworth.
Touse the Early n’ Cheap Art of Metamorphosis mod, you need to firstdownload Fluffy Mod Manager. With that downloaded, go to Early n’ Cheap Art of Metamorphosis Files and select “Manual Download”. From there,put SILVER_ArtOfMetaMorph.rar inside ModManager/Games/DragonsDogma2/Mods. Boot up the game, go to one of the vendors selling Art of Metamorphosis, and you’re able to acquire the ability to change your appearance with ease.
While unfortunate, I don’t think the microtransactions in Dragon’s Dogma 2 ruin the game. I’m glad to see modders like SilverEzredesreact quickly and give the players what they wantwithout having to spend money. Since we don’t need to worry about Art of Metamorphosis anymore, we can focus ondefeating enemies in The Brine.
