You need to start card crafting fairly early in Nightingale, as Realm Cards are needed to make new portals, which, in turn, are needed to explore. Once you've increased your gear score and bested the first Site of Power, you receive a quest telling you to venture into a Forest Antiquarian realm. The catch is that you need to craft the cards yourself.
Unless you've been incredibly lucky and found both a Forest Card and an Antiquarian Card in a Fae chest, you'll need to get to work. With that said, if you've checked your existing crafting stations and aren't sure where to start, look no further. Here's how to craft cards in Nightingale, including the resources you need to gather.
