Best Nightstar Sand farm location in Palworld

Wait for the night

Nightstar Sand is a curious little resource you can farm in Palworld, but it’s a unique resource that spawns at a particular time.

The Feybreak update has added a few new resources that you’ll need to build new schematics, including weapons, building parts, and more. But the first resource you should look for is Nightstar Sand, which can be found in several regions.

How to farm Nightstar Sand in Palworld

For starters, you’ll have to reach Feybreak Island to get Nightstar Sand. This resource only spawns at night, so you’ll have to wait till the sun goes down. As the name suggests, you will find it in sandy areas around the island.

Typically, this resource can be collected when you’re traveling on your Pal or simply walking on the island. It doesn’t require any other kind of tool like a Pickaxe, making it easy to find. Interestingly, it’s found on the beaches of several areas and depends on the direction from where you approach the island in the first place.

There are three great spots where you can find a lot of Nightstar Sand in no time. Again, you’ll need to visit these spots at night for them to spawn.

  • -810, -825 (Scorched Ashland). This place is highly recommended as it’s the first waypoint you’ll come across in Feybreak Island — might as well complete two tasks at the same time.
  • -1407,-981 is another great spot if you’re looking for Nightstar Sand
  • The coordinates -930, 800 are close to Scorched Ashland and allow you to collect more if required.

You can also check this tool out, which lists the location of all Nightstar Sand spawn locations (and that of other resources as well).

Best ways to use Nightstar Sand in Palworld

There are three main uses of Nightstar Sand, as the item is required in those recipes.

  • Metal Detector (Requires 20x Nightstar Sand)
  • Advanced Bow (Requires 20x Nightstar Sand)
  • Beam Sword (Requires 20x Nightstar Sand)

Out of all three items, I will build the Metal Detector first. This tool is vital to find Chromite, which is required in a lot of production activities. Also, you’ll need other resources for all the recipes that are mentioned here.
