One of the most valuable and rarest minerals found in Starsand Island is Diamonds. They can be used for elite crafting recipes, upgrading high tier tools and certain late game systems. They also make great gifts, but selling them is often not a good idea.
Whether you’re having trouble finding Diamonds or just keep getting your pick axe bounced off the node, this guide will provide all the information you need. You will learn how to unlock the right area and run the most efficient farming loop in Moonlit Forest to get Diamonds from Starsand Island the right way.
Diamond Overview in Starsand Island

Diamonds can be classified as special minerals and have been described as a rare, crystalline ore that is both hard and beautiful; these diamonds will not be found in the early parts of the map like Copper or Iron.
Key Details:
- Type: Special Mineral
- Source: Depths of Moonlit Forest
- Sell Price: 30 Coins
- Primary Use: Endgame crafting and upgrades
At 30 coins, the vendor price of diamonds is not a viable option for any sort of profit. Diamonds are only valuable for crafting and progression.
Unlocking the Moonlit Forest Depths
To reach the best diamond farming areas in this game, you will need to complete some questlines before being allowed to access them via travel. In order to access the depths of the moonlit forest, you will have to go through Zephyria’s questline.
To get into the northwest portion of the map, go to the area past green pasture ranch and go to the exploration club where Zephyria runs the club. After becoming a member, you will then need to complete Zephiria’s exploration missions, and you will be granted access to more moonlit forest areas.
There are two main diamond farming locations that can only be reached through exploration quests:
- Moonlight Meadow
- Homeward Trail
If you have not finished these quests yet, focus on them first. Without access to these areas, you will not find consistent Diamond spawns.
Crafting the Impact Hammer

If you are successful in finding the correct location, it will not matter what type of pickaxe you have, as the diamond nodes can only be harvested with an Impact Hammer or stronger tools.
To get access to the Impact Hammer you need to:
- Get your Junior Crafter rank from Zerine’s General Store.
- Buy the blueprint for the Impact Hammer from Zerine’s General Store for 2,500 coins.
- Create the Impact Hammer using the specified materials.
The materials needed to create the Impact Hammer are:
- Impulse Pickaxe
- Hardwood Plank
- Iron Sheet
- Radiant Crystal
- Bronze
Once you have created the Impact Hammer, you will be able to harvest diamond nodes without any issues, so make sure you create this tool before you begin your real farming.
Best Locations to Farm Diamonds

Diamonds do not spawn randomly throughout the world. They only spawn from fixed nodes located in the Moonlit Forest.
The best locations for finding diamond nodes are:
- Ancient Tree Ruins
- Luminous Pond
- Moonlight Meadow
- Homeward Trail
- Forest Edge Caves
These areas form a natural circular farming route that keeps travel time low and yields high.
Best Diamond Farming Route in Moonlit Forest

There’s no need to wander aimlessly around the Moonlit Forest to find diamonds. Follow a tight circuit to farm as efficiently as possible.
Recommended Route:
- Move first over the entire area in a clockwise direction clearing all nodes; return to Luminous Pond, and clear the perimeter of the pond.
- Continue to Moonlight Meadow and then move on to Homeward Trail.
- Finish by clearing Forest Edge Caves.
You can reset for additional opportunities to collect diamonds after completing one full farming loop by using one of the following methods:
- Fast travel to a different area and then return to the Moonlit Forest.
- Log out of the game. Then log in again at the main menu.
- Wait for the server reset.
Using instance resets is the quickest way to reload nodes. Once you complete your loop with no delays and the node is reloaded quickly you can run multiple cycles per hour with maximum yield.
