==Mechanics== | |||
===Acquiring Stardust=== | |||
Both {{ItemIcon|Stardust}} and {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust}} are exclusively obtained from Astrology. Both are acquired at random while studying constellations, where [[Stardust]] and [[Golden Stardust]] drops with a 1% and 0.20% chance per action respectively. | |||
The rate at which stardust may be acquired can be increased by: | |||
* '''Decreasing the action interval''' - The {{ItemIcon|Secret Stardust Potion|img=Secret Stardust Potion IV}} reduces the action interval by 3/5/10/15% depending on the potion's tier. Note that since the potions themselves use [[Stardust]] as an ingredient, maximising the {{Skill|Herblore}} preservation and doubling chances before creating any of these potions is highly recommended. | |||
* '''Increasing the drop chance''' | |||
** For {{ItemIcon|Stardust}}, the 25% [[#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|Mastery pool checkpoint]] provides a +1% bonus to the drop chance, for a maximum chance of 2%. | |||
** For {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust}}, the 50% [[#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|Mastery pool checkpoint]] provides a +0.2% bonus, and {{PetIcon|Astro}} provides a +0.1% bonus to the drop chance, for a maximum chance of 0.5%. | |||
* '''Increasing the drop quantity''' - Equipping the {{ItemIcon|Astrology Skillcape}} provides a +1 bonus to the quantity of both [[Stardust]] and [[Golden Stardust]] that is dropped. | |||
===Modifiers=== | |||
When unlocked, each [[#Constellations|constellation]] will initially have a single standard modifier star unlocked. Increasing the {{Icon|Mastery}} level of a constellation will unlock additional stars (and therefore additional modifiers), up to a maximum of 3 standard modifiers and 3 unique modifiers per constellation. | |||
Each modifier will start with a random modifier and value out of the possible modifiers available for that constellation, where the list of possible modifiers for a constellation can be viewed either within the [[#Constellations|constellations table]] or in-game by clicking ''Explore'' followed by ''View Possible Modifiers'' on the constellation. | |||
====Rerolling Modifiers==== | |||
Modifiers can be re-rolled in order to change both the modifier itself and value of the modifier. Re-rolling standard modifiers costs {{ItemIcon|Stardust}}, while re-rolling unique modifiers costs {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust}}. The cost of re-rolling always applies and cannot be avoided with preservation chance modifiers. For any constellation, re-rolling may be performed for all standard or unique modifiers at the same time at a cost of 1 stardust per roll, or individually at the cost of 30 stardust per roll. The cost of re-rolling modifiers individually may be halved to 15 stardust when the player reaches the 95% [[#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|Mastery pool checkpoint]]. | |||
When rolled, the value of each modifier is a random whole number between 1 and 5 inclusive, with larger values being less common than lower values. The chance of rolling each value can be found in the [[Astrology#Reroll Chances|Reroll Chances]] section of this page. | |||
Due to the low chance of rolling a modifier with a value of 5 re-rolling all modifiers until each has the maximum value of 5 is discouraged, as doing so would require a significant amount of both {{ItemIcon|Stardust}} and {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust}}. Instead, consider the following strategy: | |||
# Decide on a minimum acceptable value (say 3% or 4%). | |||
# Re-roll all standard or unique modifiers until at least one of the modifiers is one that is desirable to the player with at least minimum acceptable value. | |||
# Individually re-roll the other standard or unique modifiers until they also become modifiers that the player desires with the minimum acceptable value. Ideally, individual re-rolling should only occur after the 95% [[#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|Mastery pool checkpoint]] has been reached due to the significant stardust saving this will bring. | |||
