↖ Understanding Shooting Stars

Shooting Stars are a captivating distraction and diversion event in OSRS where meteors fall from the sky approximately every 2 hours across all in-game servers. These crash stars can be mined to obtain Stardust. Each star falls at various sizes, ranging from level 1 to level 9, and has different mining level requirements. As a miner, your goal is to accumulate Stardust and experience points, but keep in mind that different star sizes have varying rewards.

• Stardust: This valuable resource can be exchanged for unique items in the shop in Falador.
• Celestial Ring: An untradeable ring that grants a mining boost, even when uncharged. It also has a chance to provide extra ores when mining.
• Star Fragments: These recolor the prospector outfit, giving it a distinct gold appearance. However, they are a bit pricey.
• Bag of Gems: A pack containing 40 unnoted gems.
• Soft Clay Pack: This pack contains 100 noted soft clay.

 

↖ Finding Shooting Stars

Locating Shooting Stars has been made much easier thanks to various methods and tools. The OSRS community has created a dedicated website, the Old School RuneScape Portal, which offers a Shooting Stars tracker. This tracker continuously updates every few minutes, providing information about the star's tier, location, and who scouted it. Additionally, you can find a dedicated Shooting Stars Discord for real-time updates.

 

↖ Gear Setup and Inventory

To embark on your Shooting Stars journey, here's what you need:

• Prospector Outfit: A must for the mining bonus.
• Max Cape: For quick teleports.
• Amulet of Glory: Charged for extra uncut gems.
• Celestial Ring: To maximize your mining efficiency.
• Gem Bag: To store uncut gems.
• Extra Teleports: For easy travel.

 

↖ The Mining Experience

The beauty of Shooting Stars is that it's an incredibly AFK method. You can mine for extended periods with minimal effort, making it perfect for multitasking. The stars come in various sizes, with shorter mining times for smaller stars and longer times for larger ones.

• Smaller stars can last as little as 4 minutes, while the largest stars can persist for up to 24 minutes.
• Larger stars provide more Stardust and better experience rates.
• Keep in mind that Mining in Prifddinas can also yield Crystal Shards.

 

↖ The Benefits

After an hour of dedicated Shooting Stars mining, you can expect a considerable increase in your mining experience, approximately 25,000 XP, OSRS Coins or more. The method is incredibly AFK, requiring only a few clicks, making it more enjoyable and less intensive than other mining methods in the game. You can even log out for short periods and still benefit from the process.

 

Throughout your journey, you will also accumulate Stardust. In just over an hour, you can amass enough to purchase the Celestial Ring, a game-changing item for miners. Additionally, you'll earn various gems, such as sapphires and emeralds, which can be a nice bonus.

 

↖ Conclusion

In summary, the revamped Shooting Stars activity offers a relaxed and enjoyable way to level up your Mining skill in OSRS. Whether you're a casual player or a dedicated miner, this method provides flexibility and great rewards. So, don your Prospector Outfit, equip your Celestial Ring, and embark on a journey of mining and stardust collection.
