How to Upgrade the Watchtower Landmark in Mistfall Hunter (Starsilver Spindle)

Everything you need to raise the Watchtower level, from Starsilver Spindles to farming Moonlight Nectar without spending real money.

Everything you need to raise the Watchtower level, from Starsilver Spindles to farming Moonlight Nectar without spending real money.

The Watchtower near Cazarro’s shop is one of the first landmarks you can raise in Mistfall Hunter, but it does not follow the same rules as the rest of your camp. Instead of tossing in a pile of loot you picked up on a raid, it asks for a single crafted item that most players simply do not have when they first reach it. That item is the Starsilver Spindle, and getting one takes a short chain of steps.

Quick answer: Buy a Starsilver Spindle from the Curio Shop at the Goddess Statue for 7,200 Star Silver, then hand it to the Watchtower to complete the upgrade. If you are short on Star Silver, refine it from Moonlight Nectar at the same Goddess Statue.


What the Watchtower upgrade actually needs

The Watchtower upgrade runs on a small resource chain rather than raw raid loot. Each step feeds the next, so it helps to see the whole path before you start spending anything.

Neither the Spindle, Star Silver, nor Moonlight Nectar drop as normal loot during expeditions. That is why the Watchtower feels different from other landmarks and why it takes longer to max out.


Buy the Starsilver Spindle and refine Star Silver

Everything for this upgrade happens at the Goddess Statue in your camp, where Ashe is resting. Speak with Ashe to open both the Curio Shop and the Refine Star Silver option.

Head to the Goddess Statue and open the Curio Shop. The Starsilver Spindle sits here for 7,200 Star Silver. If you have only recently unlocked the landmark, you probably will not have that much banked yet, which is normal this early.
If you are short, pick the Refine Star Silver option at the same statue. This converts Moonlight Nectar into Star Silver. Star Silver itself is drawn from ores that come in Small, Medium, and Large sizes, so refining is the reliable way to build up the currency.

Once you own a Starsilver Spindle, return to the Watchtower and apply it to trigger the upgrade. The landmark moves to its next level, which is how you confirm the process worked.

How to get Moonlight Nectar in Mistfall Hunter

Since Star Silver comes from Moonlight Nectar, this is the resource you will actually spend time gathering. There are three ways to earn it, and they differ sharply in cost.

MethodDetails
MallBuy Moonlight Nectar directly for 200 Soul Coins each. Soul Coins are purchased with real money, so this dips into microtransactions.
Journey Overview tasksComplete NPC objectives and hit milestones to earn Nectar for free. The most cost-effective route.
Slumbering ContractsAwards a small amount of Nectar as you complete them.

The Mall route is the fastest, but Soul Coins are not cheap and many players prefer to save them for cosmetics. To find the Nectar there, open the menu, go to the Mall, and scroll to the bottom of the standard cosmetic shop.

The steadier, no-cost option is progressing through NPC tasks. Open the Task tab and go to the Journey Overview to see the progression checkpoints that reward Moonlight Nectar. These fill up naturally as you play, so you gradually collect enough to refine into Star Silver without spending anything.

What to expect from the rewards

Raising the Watchtower unlocks its next level and pays out cosmetic rewards, including multiple Legendary Emotes along the way and a cosmetic outfit at the top end. That final outfit sits well past the early levels, so do not expect to claim it quickly.

Because Moonlight Nectar is slow to gather no matter which route you take, spend it carefully. If you are still building out your base, prioritizing your core camp structures usually moves your progression forward faster than sinking early resources into the Watchtower, which remains one of the more time-consuming landmarks to fully complete.
