Sand Grease Pupa Locations
Luckily for travelers, Sand Grease Pupa can be found exclusively in the Desert of Hadramaveth, narrowing down the territory to farm these items.
But the Pupas are located in the deep ground, buried in the sand, with a significant part situated underground.
The best location to farm Sand Grease Pupa is around the site of the new World Boss Setekh Wenut, the gigantic sandworm.
Very convenient location that players will often visit to battle the new boss, and there is a teleport waypoint near. The map shows all the locations of Sand Grease Pupa.
Another great area to collect this Sumeru Specialty is in the Sand of Al-Azif underground caves. Players need to follow the tunnels to find the Pupas.
There are 74 Sand Grease Pupas in the wild. They will respawn every 48 hrs. Unfortunately, no shop in Sumeru sells these items in the current version.
