===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.

====Rerolling Modifiers====
====Rerolling Modifiers====
Modifiers can be re-rolled in order to change both the modifier its self and value of the modifier. Re-rolling standard modifiers costs {{ItemIcon|Stardust}}, while re-rolling unique modifiers costs {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust}}. 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]].
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.
