How long does it take for character avatars to update?

[Sakuraluna]

I've found that it varies, and that a lot of times things look better in game than in your avatar. If you like your look in game, sometimes you just have to go with it.

It has taken mine days to change before, particularly when I'm really excited about the update.

I've had it update while playing, when other times it's taken like.... a week.
