A shooting star crashing, becoming a size-5 crashed star.

Crashed stars are rocks that play a central role in the Shooting Stars Distraction and Diversion. They can be mined to obtain stardust, which can be traded for rewards at Dusuri's Star Shop. The stars can be mined on free-to-play worlds as well but only grant half the experience given on Members' worlds. Crashed stars degrade a tier after having all of their stardust mined. When a size-1 star has all of its stardust depleted, the crashed star disappears completely.

The first player to start mining a crashed star will be listed on the notice board in the Observatory on that world. Players can also see the number of stars they were the first to discover on the notice board.

The Varrock armour's double ore effect does not work on crashed stars to get double stardust.

Mining info[edit | edit source]

Experience and requirements are given for each of the different star sizes.

Different sizes of stars have different mining level requirements, give different amounts of experience, and can be mined for different amounts of stardust.

At max size, a star has a minimum of 2930 Stardust and offers 78110 experience.

Pre roll drops[edit | edit source]

A gem table has a 1/256 chance to roll instead of the main drop table.^[2] If the player is wearing a charged amulet of glory, amulet of glory (t), or amulet of eternal glory, the probability increases to 1/86.^[3]^[4] If the table successfully rolls, the player may receive an uncut gem or nothing, meaning players can receive no items from a rock even if they were guaranteed to receive an ore in the main drop table.^[5] This neither depletes the rock nor grants mining experience.

Changes[edit | edit source]

Date	Changes
10 November 2021 (update)	Shooting Stars now have a chance to land in Darkmeyer, as previously intended.
30 June 2021 (update \| poll)	Experience from mining crashed stars have been increased per stardust mined.
24 March 2021 (update)	Shooting Stars should now deplete more slowly when large groups are mining them. Cannons can once again be placed where a Shooting Star would land. However, if a Star lands on it, it will be destroyed and will need to be reclaimed from Nulodion. There is now a chance players might receive additional stardust when mining Shooting Stars.
