Where to Find Nightstar Sand in Palworld

Updated 2026-07-22

Nightstar Sand is the desert-at-night material behind Palworld's whole movement-accessory wardrobe — every jump boot, air-dash boot and Air Walker wants a pile of it, and the Metal Detector does too. There are exactly two Pals that carry it, and no chest luck involved.

The Only Two Sources

Starryon Primo1–2 guaranteed63 spawn spots — roams day and night
Wistella1–2 guaranteed40 spawn spots — a nocturnal Pal, so hunt after dark

TipEvery kill or catch pays out — the drops are guaranteed. Since Wistella is a night Pal and the sand itself is a nighttime desert find, an after-dark desert loop bags both species in one run. Bring a bright fast mount.
