Nightingale Realm Cards: What Are They, How to Craft and Use

Unravel the mysteries of the Fae Realms in Nightingale with the power of Realm Cards, your key to unlocking diverse and ever-changing worlds. This guide will equip you with the knowledge to craft, utilize, and manipulate these cards to become a true Realmwaker.

What are Realm Cards in Nightingale?

Think of them as portals to procedurally generated adventures. Each card imbues the portal with specific traits, shaping the landscape, creatures, and challenges you encounter.

Types of Realm Cards:

  • Biome Cards: The foundation of your portal, defining the basic environment (desert, forest, etc.). You’ll need at least one Biome Card to activate the portal.
  • Major Cards: These potent cards significantly alter the Realm’s characteristics, impacting enemy types, climate, loot, and more. Up to two Major Cards can be used per portal.
  • Minor Cards: Add subtle tweaks to the Realm, further customizing your experience. You can slot in two Minor Cards alongside your Major Cards.

How to Craft

To craft Realm Cards, players must utilize the resources available to them within the game. The crafting process involves gathering materials and utilizing specialized crafting stations:

  • Paper: Crafted at the Paper Press.
  • Ink: Crafted using an Ink-Making Set.
  • Essence: Found or crafted from Essence Dust (obtained by salvaging Realm Cards).

How to Use

Using Realm Cards is a straightforward yet pivotal aspect of gameplay in Nightingale. Players must approach the Arcane Portal Device within their Respite Realms and interact with it to select the desired combination of Realm Cards. Once configured, the portal will open, granting access to a procedurally generated realm filled with untold wonders and dangers.

It’s important to note that while each realm contains at least one portal location, the exact layout and contents of the realms are randomized, adding an element of unpredictability to each expedition.

With this knowledge in hand, you’re ready to unlock the boundless potential of Nightingale‘s Realm Cards. Go forth, Realmwaker, and forge your own path through the ever-shifting Fae Realms!
