Venturing into new realms in Nightingale requires Minor Cards as part of the process. Acquiring Minor Realm Cards is not hard at all. The thing is, it might be a tad confusing if you have zero idea how to deactivate Nightingale Minor Cards.
Minor Cards might not shake things up drastically, but they're still quite potent. You can use one of many Minor Realm cards with Realmic Transmutor to shift something in the current realm.
Activating them is one of the common steps that players learn, and since Minor Cards have downsides, you might want to deactivate them. This guide will make deactivation even much more effortless and straightforward.
What do the Minor Cards do in Nightingale?
In Nightingale, Realm Cards are modifiers used to enter portals, explore new realms, and alter the environment. The choice of cards you will use also hinges on the extent of the alterations you want to make. There are different types of Realm Cards, such as Major, Minor, and Biome Cards. As their name suggests, Minor cards have a limited scope and are not commonly used for significant alterations within the environment.
But they can still impact the state of the Realm you are currently in. These minor cards can be obtained by coming across them while venturing into the wild, trading them using essence dust, or even crafting them. There are 50 different types of minor cards.
Factor in that most of them may impose some sort of disadvantage and can markedly benefit your realm at the same time, depending on how you use them. For instance, you can use the hunter card to alleviate the burden of constant hunting and to increase the amount of resources obtained from any animal killed. This card helps you gather resources faster so you can upgrade your other in-game assets quickly and easily.
There’s still a debuff wherein if you miss and hit non-critical areas, your damage is reduced, making it a risky move. But with the buff to critical spots, it deals increased damage and ensures that you can take down enemies more efficiently, instead of hunting them through the forest after several misses.
How to deactivate Nightingale Minor Cards
Minor cards can sometimes significantly alter the environment in the Realm you're in, either improving things or making them worse. But since they are at your discretion, which means you can exclude all flaws from the Realm by deactivating them. Adjusting cards in your Realm to tailor the environment is also beneficial for better supporting the task at hand.
For now, the game only allows one Minor Card to be active at a time. There are two ways you can deactivate Minor Cards. You can drag a new Minor Card onto the one you want to deactivate to replace the effect of the original card. To make it happen, you should head to the Realmic Transmutor marked on your map.
There, you can interact with it and swap out a new Minor Card for the existing one within the machine. If you prefer not to sacrifice the replaced card, which will be discarded after the process, you can use the Cleansing Minor Card instead.
The cleansing card has the power to clear the effect of the targeted Minor Card without replacing it.
