Minor Realm Cards are a type of Realm Cards in Nightingale used for customizing several effects within a realm and the character, ranging from tool effectiveness, gravity, resource yield, and loot drops, to list a few. Read ahead as we go through the different kinds of Minor Realm Cards in Nightingale.
How Realm Cards work in Nightingale
There are a total of 52 Minor Cards in Nightingale, each having their own ways of altering the different aspects of the game. Some of these cards are upgraded versions that offer more potent effects. Generally, cards are either beneficial, neutral, or have their own cons to balance out the pros.
To use a Minor Card, go to a Realmic Transmuter and use a chosen card on it. This will consume the card and apply the card’s effects on to the realm. There will also be visual changes that can be seen on the sky to indicate that the card has taken effect. The cursor can hover over the card icons on the lower left corner of the screen to see the effects of the current card in play.
Only one Minor Card can be active on a realm at any time. Using a different Minor Card will replace any active card effects. Using a Cleansing Card will remove any active card effects.
Minor Cards can be used in conjunction with any Biome and Major Cards, and it can be advantageous to use specific Minor Cards to overcome challenges that some Biome-Major combo realms pose.
Most Minor Cards’ recipes can be purchased from Essence Traders in specific realms. Additional copies of the cards can then be crafted through an Enchanter’s Focus using varying qualities of paper, ink, and either Essences or specific types of materials.
