The best locations to reliably find Star Sand

Where is the best place to look for Star Sand? To reliably find Star Sand, you need to search during the night. You recognize the material by glowing spots that look as if a spotlight is shining on them. There you can collect Star Sand.

Reliable areas and places are primarily offered by the Feybreak Island in the southwest of your map.

Locations where you can find the material at night are:

  • The sandy area around the Verlohte Lande Teleporter
  • Abandoned Ash Plateau in the west of Feybreak Island
  • Withered Coast in the east of Feybreak Island
  • Loess Plain in the south of Feybreak Island
  • Additional Area: The desert on an island in the north of the map around the Militia Tower

The most effective location is the area around the Verlohte Lande Teleporter, as you can walk along the entire coast and search for Star Sand there. If that’s not enough, you can explore the remaining points on Feybreak Island.
