Nightingale is an open world survival game with RPG elements, and due to the randomized nature of its Realms System, it can be hard to figure out how to “level up”. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get past the small hurdle that is to reach gear score 70 all the way from a meager 50.
How to Get From Gear Score 50 to Gear Score 70
By now, you should be very familiar with the concept of building realm portals and crafting cards, otherwise you wouldn’t have made it to this gear score to begin with.
With this knowledge, your next step is to enter a Provisioner realm. In order to do that, you will need to find a Provisioner site of power in order to get the card needed to open up a portal to get there.
Also, you will need to stock up on some Tier 1 essence, as you will be buying some new crafting stations and upgrading gear in a bit.
Finding an Essence Trader
Once you enter a Provisioner realm, your next step is to find the essence trader. We can’t give you exact directions for this one, as his location (and even name) will be randomized, but he should be easy to spot due to his large wagon/cart.
From here, purchase all of the crafting station schematics (the ones with the “Refined” prefix). This will cost you quite a bit of tier 1 essence, which is why you should be ready with a decent amount.

Crafting New Gear
Once you have all of the refined crafting stations unlocked, construct all of them in your base. Ideally, you should do this indoors on top of foundations. Not doing so will affect your crafting efficiency.
At this point, all you need to do now is start gathering the necessary materials and begin crafting the best gear that you can get. Keep upgrading stuff until you reach gear score 70.
