Since its launch in January 2024, Pocketpair’s Palworld has captivated players worldwide with its dynamic gameplay and engaging content. A standout addition to the game’s already rich environment is the Feybreak DLC, which introduced an expansive new island brimming with diverse biomes and a multitude of crafting materials. Among these resources, some are easily discoverable, while others, like Nightstar Sand, require a bit more effort to find.
Nightstar Sand is particularly elusive, as it can only be collected during the night. For players struggling to locate this unique crafting material, understanding its requirements and the best strategies for gathering it can significantly enhance the game experience.
How to Obtain Nightstar Sand in Palworld
The name Nightstar Sand reflects its availability: this crafting resource is only accessible at night. To begin your quest for Nightstar Sand, you’ll first need to wait for the sun to set in the Palpagos region. The two locations where Nightstar Sand can be harvested are Feybreak Island and Sand Dunes. If you’re unfamiliar with the map, the Sand Dunes are the large desert area located in the northeastern corner, home to the Tower Boss, Marcus, along with his bird companion, Faleris. To reach Feybreak, head south from Mount Obsidian’s coast.
Feybreak Island is recommended for collecting Nightstar Sand due to its abundance of resource nodes found along the coastlines. This allows you to gather the sand without needing to traverse deeply inland, especially during the nighttime when most Pals will be resting. However, be cautious of the anti-aircraft towers scattered across Feybreak, which restrict the use of flying Pals until they are destroyed.
To find the Nightstar Sand nodes, look for patches of gleaming sand when you’re on the beach at night. Simply approach these glowing areas and interact with them to collect the sand. Each node will disappear after you harvest it, leaving you free to find the next one. Be aware that these nodes can only be accessed until sunrise, so you’ll need to gather as much as you can before daytime returns.
If you’re looking to gather a large quantity of Nightstar Sand for your crafting needs back at your base, consider adjusting the nighttime and daytime durations in your World Settings via the Main Menu. This tweak will grant you additional time to explore and collect resources effectively. Keep in mind that Nightstar Sand only weighs 1.0, making it feasible to carry a substantial amount back to your base.

Utilizing Nightstar Sand in Palworld

Because certain recipes may demand a considerable amount of Nightstar Sand, it’s wise to gather more than you think you’ll need.
