How to change weapon appearance in AC Mirage

To change your weapon’s appearance in AC Mirage, you need to visit a Blacksmith. Once there, talk to them to enter the shop menu and you will see a second tab on the right-hand side. Go over to the Appearance tab in the shop and you will see your main-hand sword and your off-hand dagger.

Before you can change your weapon’s appearance, you need to find other weapons in the game. Once you collect a new weapon, it is immediately unlocked as a cosmetic option at the Blacksmith. If you have a new sword that doesn’t look as good as another you have, then simply go to the Blacksmith, select the weapon you want to change the appearance of and then confirm it to change your current weapon to a weapon of your choice.
