The Antiquarian Card is at theAntiquarian Site of Power marked on your map, and is locked off for anybody with aNightingale Gear Scorebelow 20 (you’ll have to get through a small gauntlet of enemies and kill the Fabled Automaton Knight at the bottom). TheAstrolabe Site of Poweris the same way - marked on the map - but this time you’ll need a Gear Score of 30 or higher, with a tougher Fabled Automaton Bishop to kill.
