Overview
Starsand Town is the main commercial and social hub of Starsand Island. The town features Chinese-inspired architecture with colorful street stalls, wisteria-covered walkways, and a warm, vibrant atmosphere. Nearly all of the island's shops, restaurants, and services are concentrated here, making it the center of daily life for both residents and the player.
The Plaza
The Plaza is the central gathering area of Starsand Town, surrounded by shops and restaurants. It features an outdoor theater near Lex Woodworks, wisteria-covered walkways, and colorful street stalls. NPCs wander the plaza throughout the day and gather here in the evenings. Several parkour puzzles can be found on fences and railings around the plaza.
Community Center
Solara works at the Community Center as the mayor's assistant. This is where you go to receive profession certifications and handle town business. The park in front of the Community Center is a popular gathering spot.
Bulletin Board
The Bulletin Board is located right outside the Community Center. Players can accept up to 4 daily requests from town residents.
Requests involve gathering or crafting items for NPCs.
Rewards include Coins, Affection Points (15–25), and Starsand Points.
Completing 5 Bulletin Board requests is required to unlock land expansion at Hopeland.
Requests have a star-rated difficulty system. Avoid 3-star jobs early on as they are strictly timed.
Starsand Station
The central fast travel hub connects to 9 other bus stations across the island. Unlocked by completing the "Building Starsand Station" quest from Solara (requires cooking 4 Soup Dumplings). Travel costs 15 Gold per trip.
