In this playthrough I journeyed to an antiquarian desert realm using the "large" main portal that exists in all abeyance realms. After collecting a synchronous lotus I created a crude portal and used it to open a portal to the antiquarian desert realm to finish trading and collecting essence from the POIs. I then returned to my abeyance realm but instead of returning through the crude portal I had used the game spawned me at the large stone portal, which fortunately was not too far away from my base with the crude portal.
Hi there,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
To confirm, did your character perish at any point? Do you have any Zephyr Anchor Points built in your Abeyance Realm? Is your Respite Cairn built near where you built the Crude Portal?
Upon resetting the Antiquarian Desert realm and opening a portal to it from the crude portal at my base I can now return to my base and not the realms main portal when I visit this realm.
I have now closed the original portal in the abeyance realm and am only using the crude portals at my base. However, despite leaving the abeyance realm via a crude portal every time I return from the antiquarian desert realm I arrive at the main portal in the abeyance realm.
My character has not perished yet.
I'm unsure what a Zephyr Anchor Point is but in terms of game progress I have only journeyed through the byway realms and a desert antiquarian realm and a forest abeyance realm. So far I have unlocked the simple workstations and recently the refined stations available from the trader in the desert antiquarian realm.
The Respite Cairn I have built is located out of render range of the realm's portal and near to (at the same base) as the crude portal I have built.
