It takes a while for things to truly get going in a survival game like Nightingale, as players will have to get up to speed regarding all of its different systems and resources to manage. The critical component of the adventure is the ability to traverse through various realms and biomes, each with its dangers, rewards, and adventures to be had.

In the beginning, players will need to use the portals left behind by civilizations past to make their way to other realms either alone or with others using Nightingale's coop feature. However, as players get deeper into the game, more flexibility is afforded to them with the opportunity to construct their own means of transport. Players seeking out the method of building their own Crude Realm Portal in Nightingale should follow this guide.

Nightingale: How to Farm Essence Dust

Essence Dust is a crucial resource in Nightingale, and the more players have, the easier it will be. Here is how to farm the valuable material.

Building the Crude Realm Portal in Nightingale

Just like many of the other important structures that can help with progress in Nightingale, players must first get their hands on the requisite blueprint before any thoughts of forging ahead. The Crude Portal Realm blueprint is a reward given by Puck after completing a few main quests.

Once you have successfully entered the Antiquarian Forest Realm and met with the NPC Aurelio, complete his trials, which ends with scaling a Fae Tower and obtaining the Synchronous Lotus at the top. Head back to his encampment, hand in the quest, and Puck will appear with both a reward and a warning. Now, the Crude Portal Realm blueprint is in your hands.

To build it, the resources required are:

  • 1 x Synchronous Lotus
  • 10 x Lumber
  • 7 x Ingot
  • 3 x Wire

The structure essentially replaces the need to trek back to an existing portal, and with it being near the base, you are in much better shape for new adventures. Furthermore, players can build multiples after finding more Synchronous Lotuses in Fae Towers or Ruins, and keep the portal aimed at specific Realm combinations without the need to craft more of Nightingale's Realm Cards.

This way, you can ensure that any particular resource or enemy can be reliably found, all you will have to do is head back to base and find the right portal to go through.
