A fallen star in one of the last stages.
The Shooting star distraction and diversion is a new event that appears in Emps-World since 2 November 2014. After a previous star has been completely disappeared.

When a star crashes down every player currently online in that world will receive a message that varies according to the distance of the player to the star. A star can crash in a lot if different locations and it might be hard to find for some players. To receive a hint about the whereabouts of the latest fallen star players can go to the Observatory just north of Castle-Wars and talk to the Observatory assistant. This feature is just for members. The Observatory professor will tell you if a star has landed or give an indication on how long it'll take before another star lands.

Sometimes a star falls down in a members-only area, like the Kharidian desert, only members will be able to reach it then. It can also land in the Wilderness, making it dangerous to gather your stardust there.


A fallen star can be of different sizes, from just 6 to 9 layers. With every extra layer players need a higher Mining level to mine it, up to level 90 for 9 layers. When players with a higher mining level have reduced the star to less layers, players with low Mining will be able to join too.
When mined players will receive Stardust and a random gem occasionally. The first player who mines the first stardust of a new star receives 10k bonus Mining experience as a reward for finding it. The experience granted for mining the star is 120 + 2 times the Mining requirement for the current layer. A player with 99 mining will receive 300 xp per stardust at the first layer of size 9 star, and a size 9 star will give 300k Mining experience and 1300 stardust divided over all players that mine the star.


Every crashed star has 1 Uncut onyx that a random player mining the star will receive.
With stardust players can buy several rewards from the Sprite that appears when the star has been fully mined, including the Dragon pickaxe.

Locations

Players can talk to the Observatory assistant to receive a hint about the location of the fallen star. Players can also join the clan-chat 'Fallen star' to join others in their search for fallen stars in Emps-World. Stars generally fall close to a quarry or similar mining spot, like the rune essence mine route in east Varrock.
