Palworld: Finding and Farming Star Sand – The Best Locations

Starlight Sand is one of the rare resources in Palworld, introduced in the Feybreak Update. We will show you how and where to reliably find and farm this material.

What is Starlight Sand and what is it used for? Starlight Sand is a material that you can only find at night. And only where – well, where there is sand. This rare material is needed for some important equipment and tools, so you will eventually have to search for it.

Where to best search for it and what exactly you need Starlight Sand for, you can read here.

Update from August 13, 2026: The post has been reviewed and structurally slightly adjusted.

The best locations to reliably find Starlight Sand

Where is the best place to search for Starlight Sand? Reliable areas and locations are primarily offered by Feybreak Island in the southwest of your map.

The most effective location is the area around the Lost Lands Teleporter, as you can run along the entire coast and search for Starlight Sand there. If that is not enough, you can check the remaining points on Feybreak Island.

Locations where you can find the material at night include:

  • The sandy area around the Lost Lands Teleporter
  • Abandoned Ash Plateau in the west of Feybreak Island
  • Withered Coast in the east of Feybreak Island
  • Silty Plains in the south of Feybreak Island
  • Additional Area: The desert on an island in the north of the map around the Militia Tower

To reliably find Starlight Sand, you need to search at night. You can recognize the material by glowing spots that look like a spotlight is shining on the area. You can collect Starlight Sand there.
