Your wizard in Prodigy is yours to design, and you can change how they look whenever you like. At character creation you choose your wizard’s hair, eyes, skin and first outfit, and from then on you can buy new outfits, hats, wands and gear in the shops, swap them in your inventory, and build a look that is completely your own. Customization is not just about looks either, because gear also carries stats that change how your wizard fights.
What you can change
Almost everything about your wizard’s appearance can be changed. Hair style and colour, eyes, skin tone, outfit, hat, wand and even the pet that follows you around can all be swapped. Your wizard’s name and grade stay fixed, but the look is fully flexible, so the wizard you start with does not have to be the wizard you finish with. Many players change their look every time they unlock a new zone, to match the place they are exploring.
Your pet is part of the look too, because it walks beside you everywhere you go. A wizard in a fire red outfit with a fire pet looks like a matched team, and that is half the fun of customizing. To learn how to catch and raise the pet that completes your look, read Prodigy pets: how to catch and evolve.
How to change your wizard’s look
Changing your look is simple. Open your inventory, find the outfit, hat or wand you want to wear, and equip it. Anything you own can be swapped in seconds, and anything you buy in a shop goes straight into your inventory, ready to wear. If you want to change the basics like hair and eyes, look for the customization options in your wizard menu, where your appearance settings live.
There is no cost to changing between items you already own, so try things out freely. Mix a hat from one zone with an outfit from another, test a new wand in battle, and keep the combinations you like. Your wizard’s look is a save file of your own taste, not a one time choice.
Free vs membership customization
| Option | Free players | Members |
|---|---|---|
| Change hair, eyes and skin | Yes | Yes |
| Outfits and gear in shops | Yes, bought with Gold | Yes, plus exclusive items |
| Exclusive member outfits | No | Yes |
| Extra Magicoins each month | Standard Wizard Bank amount | Larger Wizard Bank amount |
Free players can customize plenty: the full appearance settings and the whole range of shop outfits bought with Gold are open to everyone. Membership adds exclusive outfits and gear that free players cannot buy, plus a larger monthly Magicoin claim from the Wizard Bank, which means members can afford the Magicoin priced items faster. The difference is real, but a free player’s wizard can still look great, and the best looking wizards are usually the ones whose owners mixed shop finds creatively, not the ones who spent the most.
Where to find outfits and gear
Outfits and gear live in the shops. Lamplight Town has the main shops, and each of the five elemental zones has its own shop with items you will not find anywhere else, including exclusive pieces that cost Magicoins. Festival shops appear during events with limited time items, so check them whenever a festival is running. For a full guide to shops, items and Gold, see Prodigy items, gear and Gold guide.
Wands deserve a special mention, because your wand decides which spells you cast, and each wand carries its own element and power. A new wand changes your battle style, not just your look, so pick wands by their spells first and their looks second. To understand how spells and elements work, read Prodigy spells and elements.
Looks and stats: picking gear that does both
Every piece of gear has stats, usually hearts, power or defence, and better gear makes your wizard stronger in battle. That means the best outfit is the one that looks good and fights well. When two outfits look equally good to you, wear the one with better stats. When a strong piece looks dull, remember that you can often find a better looking piece with similar stats in the next zone’s shop, so keep exploring. Never wear weak gear just because it looks cool in a boss fight, and never wear ugly gear you hate just for a small stat boost in an easy zone. Balance the two, and your wizard will look like a hero and fight like one.
