Palworld Nightstar Sand Farming Guide: Locations, Crafting Recipes, & More

Since its launch in January 2024, Pocketpair's Palworld has captivated players with engaging content, notably the recent Feybreak Update. With it, Pal trainers can explore a vast new island with diverse biomes and gather new crafting materials. In particular, one elusive resource in Palworld is the Nightstar Sand, and we’re here to help you farm it through this guide!

How to Get Nightstar Sand in Palworld

Players can loot Nightstar Sand throughout Palworld’s map. But as its name implies, you can't find it during the daytime. Instead, you must wait until night to collect this resource. Once the night sky fills Palworld, travel to any of the sandy areas on the map. Then, look for and interact with glowing spots on the ground to get Nightstar Sand. However, players have a higher chance of finding Nightstar Sand in Palworld by traveling to Feybreak Island. After farming a spot for this material, simply wait for the next night cycle to farm it again.
