If you’re trying to craft some of the better gear in Palworld, you’ll need Nightstar Sand. Getting this material isn’t complicated, but there’s a catch – you can only find it at night, and only in specific places.
After spending quite a bit of time gathering this resource, I can tell you exactly where to look and what to expect. This guide will walk you through everything about Nightstar Sand – from the best farming spots to what you can make with it.
The key thing to remember about Nightstar Sand is that it only appears at night. During the day, you won’t see any of it at all, so you’ll need to wait until the sun sets before starting your collection runs.
When night falls, you’ll be able to spot glowing patches of sand in specific areas – these are your Nightstar Sand nodes.
There are two main areas where you can find Nightstar Sand:
Feybreak Island: This is actually the better spot for farming Nightstar Sand. The beaches around Feybreak Island have lots of nodes, and they’re mostly along the coastline. Here are the best spots to check:
Just keep in mind that Feybreak is a no-fly zone and can stop you from using flying Pals. You’ll need to take thee towers out if you want to use flying mounts for faster farming.
Dessicated Desert Region: The Dessicated Desert area in the northeast part of the map also has Nightstar Sand. While there aren’t as many nodes here as on Feybreak, it’s actually easier to farm because there aren’t any anti-aircraft towers to deal with. Good spots include:
Nightstar Sand is used to craft several high-level items. Here’s what you can make and how much sand you’ll need:
Tools and Weapons:
Movement Gear:
Remember that you’ll need to reach certain Technology Levels to unlock these recipes, and some items might require other materials like Hexolite ingots, which you’ll need to make in a Gigantic Furnace.
Nightstar Sand farming is pretty straightforward. The key points to remember are simple: wait for night, head to either Feybreak Island or the Dessicated Desert, and look for those glowing spots on the ground. Start with the locations mentioned above, and you’ll build up a good supply in no time.
If you’re just getting started, try the Sand Dunes area first – it’s safer and easier to navigate. Once you’re comfortable with the process, you can move on to Feybreak Island for more efficient farming. Just remember to bring some decent gear and maybe a strong Pal along, especially if you’re heading to Feybreak.
