Where to Find Nightstar Sand in Palworld
Nightstar Sand is a little trickier to get your hands on than most other crafting materials in the game. Materials like Stone and Wood are plentiful in the surrounding environment, and evenCoalandPure Quartzcan eventually be farmed from the comfort of your own base. Nightstar Sand can only be collected in the open world, and it only spawns in desert biomes at night.Nightstar Sand appears as glowing patches in the sand; all you have to do is interact with those glowing patches to collect the sand.
Dessicated Desert
One of the easiest and most reliable spots to farm Nightstar Sand is the Dessicated Desert, a biome located at the northeast corner of the map. You’ll unlock this area early, likely around level 30 or so, so by the time you need Nightstar Sand, you should have all the travel points unlocked. We suggest traveling directly to thePIDF Tower EntranceorDeep Sand Dunestravel points, where there should be several patches of Nightstar Sand in the surrounding areas at nighttime.
Feybreak Island
There are multiple spots to farm Nightstar Sand on Feybreak Island, located at the southwest corner of the map. you’re able to find patches of Nightstar Sand to the far east of Feybreak Island on theWithered Seaside, to the south in theLoess Plains, to the north in theScorched Ashland, and to the west in theDeserted Ash Plateau. It’s worth a mention that if you haven’t yet taken down the anti-air turrets on Feybreak Island, getting to the far corners of the Island can be a pain.
