How To Craft
Use the special table called the Enchanter’s Focus to craft the Realm Cards. You’ll find out how to make this table as you explore your first Abeyance Realm. You can get the instructions to make the Enchanter’s Focus from an Essence Trader or wait to get them from Puck. Essence Traders are shown on your map when they’re around, and you can check what they have in stock in the Guidebook menu under Traders.
To craft the Enhanter’s Focus, you will require these materials:
- 1x Lumber from the Saw Table
- 2x Ingots from the Smelter
- 5x Glass from the Smelter
As you explore, you’ll get plans for different Realm Cards. At the beginning, Puck gives you plans for basic Biome Cards like Desert, Swamp, and Forest. Along the way, you’ll find plans for more important and less important cards. To make any Realm Card, you need Paper and Ink. You can make Paper by using two Wood Bundles at the Saw Table. Ink can be crafted at the Mortar Station with Pigment and Glass. Some Realm Cards need extra stuff, like Essence.
Using Major Realm Cards
You mix Biome and Major Cards together using a Realm Card Machine near the Portal in each Realm. To start the Portal, you pick a Biome Card to decide the Realm’s type and a Major Card to pick the kinds of friends and enemies you’ll meet. You can also choose the difficulty level and decide if others can join your Realm.
Using Minor Realm Cards
After you go into a Realm, you can use Minor Cards there. To do this, you have to find something called a Realmic Transmuter. It’s like a big, spinning thing you can see on the map when you enter a new Realm. This device lets you use Minor Cards that affect the whole Realm. You can only have one of these cards working at a time. Some cards have both good and bad effects. For example, the Dragon Horde card makes it so you find more stuff in chests but makes you weaker against damage. However, a few cards only give you benefits without any downsides. Like the Amphibious card makes you swim faster and increases your disease resistance.
Using a new Minor Card replaces what the old one did. If you want to get rid of what the card is doing now without adding anything new, you can use a Cleansing Card to wipe away the current effects of the card.
