Palworld Nightstar Sand: Palworld has captured the hearts of players worldwide since its launch in January 2024. The game, developed by Pocketpair, offers a unique mix of creature capturing and open-world exploration. Its Feybreak DLC added a massive new island, diverse biomes, and plenty of new crafting materials, including the elusive Nightstar Sand. If you’re struggling to find this rare resource, don’t worry—this guide has all the details you need!
Where to Find Nightstar Sand in Palworld
Nightstar Sand is a rare crafting material that only appears during nighttime. To start gathering, you’ll need to wait for the sun to set in Palpagos. This material is available in two locations: Feybreak Island and Sand Dunes Island.
Feybreak Island
Feybreak Island is a vibrant area introduced in the DLC. It offers more Nightstar Sand nodes compared to Sand Dunes, making it the better choice for gathering. The nodes are mostly found along the coastlines, glowing softly in the dark.
Challenges on Feybreak Island:
- Anti-aircraft towers prevent flying until destroyed.
- Navigation requires some caution due to enemy placements.
Major Node Locations on Feybreak Island:

How to Gather Nightstar Sand
Finding Nightstar Sand is straightforward once you know where to look:
- Head to a node location during nighttime.
- Look for glowing patches of sand on beaches.
- Interact with the glowing nodes to collect the resource.
Remember, the nodes disappear after collection and only respawn the following night. To maximize your gathering, adjust the duration of nighttime in the World Settings via the Main Menu.
