Shooting stars are one of the more unique things about 2009scape, and no, these are not from OSRS! With shooting stars in 2009scape, they serve as a point for the community to gather around and hang out while they break down the star, and offer some nice daily incentives for earning GP as well.
In order to participate in shooting star mining, you need a minimum of level 10 mining to mine the lowest level (level-1) star. This increases along with the star's size, capping out at a level 90 requirement for level-9 shooting stars.
Shooting stars in 2009scape come in various shapes and sizes, and each have their own properties and chance at an Ancient Blueprint. The Ancient Blueprint is an item that allows you to unlock the Ring of the Star Sprites, both of these items are original to 2009scape. See Ring of the Star Sprites for more info on them. In general, shooting stars are a fantastic way to gain mining XP and the only semi-afk option 2009scape offers for mining. There's a daily turn-in for the stardust that, at 200 stardust, rewards 50k and various runes. There is also an initial claim bonus for the first person to find and click on the star that scales to that player's mining level, which can result in a very hefty chunk of XP, especially on higher XP rates. Below you can find a table for each star's level, the experience given per stardust mined, the level requirement, the total amount of stardust that level contains, and that level's chance at rewarding a player with an ancient blueprint each time they mine some stardust.
Tier | Level | EXP/dust | Stardust | Ancient Blueprint Chance |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 10 | 14 | 1200 | 1/10,000 |
2 | 20 | 25 | 700 | 1/5000 |
3 | 30 | 29 | 439 | 1/4000 |
4 | 40 | 32 | 250 | 1/3000 |
5 | 50 | 47 | 175 | 1/2000 |
6 | 60 | 71 | 80 | 1/1000 |
7 | 70 | 114 | 40 | 1/750 |
8 | 80 | 145 | 25 | 1/500 |
9 | 90 | 210 | 15 | 1/250 |
Shooting Stars can land in a wide variety of locations and an announcement is made in chat when one lands, informing players of where they landed. Below, you can find a table detailing where each star lands based on the message it gives in the announcement.
On the 2009scape server it is tradition to wear a white mystic hat while mining the juicy moon rock.
