Questions about portals and travelling back and forth...

[Corinthas]

Following the quest line, I made my first cards and opened a portal to the antiquarian..
My question is if i reactivate the portal I assume I will go back to my starting world where my respite is, but will the portal still be pointing at this antiquarian realm or is that lost.
It warns me that I will lose it if i fast travel to my respite.. but is it the same if I portal back?

Normally you can travel back and forth between the two portals until you decide to play another card combination. But even if you close that connection and go somewhere else, playing the same biome + antiquarian combination again will put you back to the same world as before, so you can't really lose it.

However, I once had a (I assume) glitch where returning from a portal did not put me back into my home refuge but instead into another world I had visited a while back, so the connection with my home world was severed. Thankfully I had crafted Home Adress cards and used that to make a new portal home.

Later you also get to craft your own miniature portals and you can have several. So you can use them to save a location without having to play the cards again. Not a huge deal but kinda convenient.

Aah ok... so once the proc gen has built me a forest + antiquarian combination, it wont do it a second time and its fixed... that's also worth knowing thanks.
I have just learned how to make my own portals so also cool to know this just saves cards in effect.

You can reset a world.

I don't know if it only resets what you've done or if it actually generate a new world.

I'm currently stuck where my respite is, portal don't want to work :(

I am confused by the "reset" button on my mini portal back at my home base. I have a Forest and provisional card in it and we have cleared out all the areas. As far as we know there is nothing left to do in the zone. My understanding, which must be flawed since its not working the way i think it should, is that by resetting the zone, it resets all the locations/quests/rewards so you can run the content again and re-farm the T1 essence you need to upgrade to the next tier of gear. My problem is that resetting the portal just deletes the cards. when i put in forest/provisional again, it just opens up the old already completed zone again. My expectation is out of line with the game i think.

It's a button on the bottom left to reset the realm the reset portal just resets the connection but if you want to reset the realm there's a checkbox in the bottom left that does it for you hope this helps
