Nightstar Sand isn’t the easiest resource to track down in Palworld. It only appears under specific conditions, making it a frustrating material to farm if you don’t know where to look. Here’s where to find Nightstar Sand and the quickest way to stock up in Palworld.
How to find Nightstar Sand in Palworld
Nightstar Sand is located on the light-colored sandy areas of the Feybreak Island map, and you can spot it as yellow glowing circles on the ground, found along these beaches. To collect it, you just need to walk up and interact with it. This is achievable while riding a Pal. You also need to disable the air rockets or avoid using flying pals here.
The Nightstar Sand is available only at night, so make sure to use the teleport and pick them up near the beaches. Here is a map with all the Nightstar Sand locations on Palworld‘s Feybreak Island above. Below are the three easiest Nightstar Sand locations you can access:
- The first location you can go to to find Nightstar Sand is the Scorched Ashland on the map. You can find around 12 or more Nightstar Sand here, but prepare with some decent gear as the Pals here are hostile.
- The second location is at the Deserted Ash Plateau teleport point, and it is close to the first location. You can accumulate Nightstar Sand here, letting you easily meet your requirements from these two locations alone. Next, you can also look at the beach near the Crimson Cliffs teleport beaches on the same island.
- If you still need more Nightstar Sand, then we suggest taking a look at the Dessicated Desert in the northeast, especially the beaches.
While any pals don’t drop Nightstar Sand on Palpagos Island, you can also find some after you unlock the World Tree, and some pals in that new region also drop this resource once you eliminate them.
How to complete Palworld Nightstar Sand Quest
While collecting the Nightstar Sand at the north of Feybreak Island, you can find a traveller merchant NPC who was added with the game’s full release, who gives you a quest to bring him 10 Nightstar Sand. You can complete this easily by using the Scorched Ashland teleport during the night.
After finishing the quest, he gives you two weapon schematics, each with a different weapon type and rarity. It’s an easy way to upgrade your arsenal, as the quest is straightforward and rewards you with better weapons than you’re likely to make at your workbench in the early to mid-game.

Alternatively, if you’re just looking for something that works like a Metal Detector, you can skip the search for Nightstar Sand and capture Smokie instead. This canine Pal functions exactly like a detector and automatically marks locations for you, so long as you’re in range of the Ore you’re trying to farm.
