One ofNightingale’smost unique features is the Realm Card system, which essentially lets players exert some degree of control when it comes to the game’s random world generation. There’s plenty of realmwalking to do in the Faewilds, and Realm Cards make sure no two worlds ever feel the same.
Realm Cards will let players dip their toes into the many different permutations ofNightingale’sFae Realms, but these don’t exactly grow on trees. Here’s how you may get more Realm Cards as well as some important things to know about them.
What Are Realm Cards?
Realm Cards are basically modifiers that determine the seed of a world that a player is about to generate. These affect a world’s biome, the enemies that appear in it, buffs and debuffs that affect players, and other mutators that can greatly affectthe regularNightingaleexperience. Realm Cards come in three different versions:
Every time you open a portal, you’ll be asked to use one Biome Card and one Major Card. If you want to use Minor Realm Cards, you must find theRealmic Transmuterwithin the world and place your new modifiers there.
Where to Find Realm Cards
Players can get basic Realm Cards by looting or crafting them. Each realm has multiple POIs that may have Realm Cards inside chests and other containers. Abandoned human buildings or ruined Fae structures have a decent chance of having a few chests in their vicinities, so you’ll want to check those places thoroughly for a shot at finding some cards. Alternatively, you can alsobuy some Minor Realm CardsfromEssence Traders.
Fae Towers and Sites of Power also contain Realm Cards (often Biome and Major ones). You’ll need to beat a boss to get them, which can be a problem if you’replayingNightingalesolo. These POIs are marked by electric gates that willrepel youif you’re undergeared. If you can’t get inside a Site of Power, increase your Gear Score first.
