Shooting Stars is a type of minigame whereby a meteor will land in a random location around the OSRS map. One will fall from the sky every 2 hours in each game world. Meaning world hopping is required to consistently use this method.
The activity is done primarily to train the mining skill in a fun and interactive way as players have to search for new stars. It can also be done in free to play worlds for half the experience. This guide will provide you a step by step of how to efficiently use this training method.
Locating Fallen Stars
Using a telescope in the study room of a player owned house can be done to find the location of the next meteor landing. This can be done in your own or a friends house. However, the telescope must have direct line of sight on the sky. So, it can not be blocked by another room or located underground. Additionally, the higher tier your telescope the more accurate the time window is.
Mining Shooting Stars
Crashed stars come in a variety of different sizes, in total there are 9. Prospecting it can tell you the size of the fallen star, along with its progress to the next level. The first person to begin mining the star will be notified of this in their chatbox.
The star is made up of multiple layers that deteriorate the more you mine it until it is finally reduced by one tier. The more people mining the star means its layer will be removed at a faster rate. When mining players will also gain stardust in their inventory. Stardust can be traded in for rewards at Dusuri’s Star Shop.
