To change appearance in Crimson Desert, you must head to the barber. The barber is called Eric in the Greymanes camp. You can unlock him from the A Rumor at the Inksworth Bindery quest. After meeting him, he will join the camp, and you can find Eric's tent next to the general store.
How To Get A Pet In Crimson Desert
Sheltering a pet will allow players to have an automatic looter in Crimson Desert.
How To Change Appearance In Crimson Desert (Character Customization)
You can find Eric's barber shop on the map, signified by the scissors and comb logo. He's in a tent near the general store, east of the ranch and farm in Crimson Desert.
Here, you can customize the character you're currently playing. For example, you can change Kliff's hairstyle and color. Then, you can also customize Kliff's beard appearance, giving him more beard, less beard, more mustache, or even no mustache. There's also an eyebrow customization feature, but it's mostly for color only. Finally, you can change the character's face and body tattoos. The tattoos also have customizable colors.
If you wish to change how someone else looks in Crimson Desert, you must switch to the character and approach Eric again. Every character has their own designated looks, so you're free to customize character appearance based on your liking.
A Rumor At The Inksworth Bindery Quest In Crimson Desert
A Rumor at the Inksworth Bindery is a part of the Solid Foundation questline, which unlocks after you complete the quests in the Gathered Will series.
To complete the Gathered Will questline, you must do the relevant quests, including building a farm and ranch in Crimson Desert. Then, complete Kamu's and Ben's requests, which will teach you about how to use the farm and ranch.
Once that's done, you must dispatch some people on a mission on Howling Hill. This will expand the Greymanes camp in Howling Hill, allowing more comrades to come home.
After you upgrade the camp, the Solid Foundation questline will be available. Marius will give you information about your old comrades, and you need to follow the rumors to find them.
A Rumor at the Inksworth Bindery quest brings Connor, Oliver, and Eric. All of them will have their own stall, so they won't be added as workers. You will get a dye stall, an accessories store, and Eric's barber shop. This quest is one of the many missions that will centralize all activities in Pywel into your base camp.
Unfortunately, this means that character customization for changing your appearance in Crimson Desert is not an easy task, since there are many steps to complete beforehand.
