Nightstar Sand is a valuable crafting resource in Palworld that becomes available once players know where to look and are willing to venture out at night. This material is crucial for creating a variety of upgrades, including improved bows, footwear that enhances movement, and other weapons. Most notably, Nightstar Sand is a key component in crafting the Metal Detector, an item that significantly aids in resource discovery.
You can acquire Nightstar Sand by collecting it from the beaches of Feybreak Island during the nighttime hours. As darkness falls, glowing patches will appear on the sand, which are the Nightstar Sand deposits. While this is not the only location where Nightstar Sand spawns, it is noted as a place where it can be found in abundance.
Upon locating these glowing deposits, players can collect the Nightstar Sand simply by interacting with it; no specific tools are required for gathering.
The primary utility of Nightstar Sand lies in its use for crafting advanced equipment. Players will need it to create more potent bows, various types of boots that offer improved jumping and dashing capabilities, and other accessories. The ability to craft the Metal Detector using Nightstar Sand is particularly significant for players seeking to optimize their exploration and resource gathering efforts.
Items that can be crafted with Nightstar Sand include the Advanced Bow in its various rarities, Air Dash Boots, Anti-Gravity Belt, Beam Sword, Double Air Dash Boots, Double Jump Boots, Metal Detector, and Triple Jump Boots.
