Detect Corrupted Sand

Use the compass to find corrupted sand in the desert.

A blue ping indicates a distant source.
A yellow ping indicates a nearby source.
A red ping indicates a source very close by.

— In-game description

Notes[edit]

  • Applied when using the Sand Compass gizmo, acquired by accepting the In a Grain of Sand collection from Ziya the Radiant in Sun's Refuge.
  • The interactable Corrupted Sand spawns after the first use of the skill, independent of how far the player is. This means it can also be found manually by triangulating from two different map spots, e.g. waypoints.
  • Players must be mounted on their jackal to be able to use it, otherwise they will receive the message, "You must be mounted on a jackal to use this device."
