Leveling Astrology involves Studying various Constellations, starting with the Deedree Constellation at level 1. Studying has a base interval of 3 seconds per action. Studying does not cost any resources and provides Astrology experience and Mastery experience for the Constellation after each action.
Each Study action also has a chance to provide {{ItemIcon|Stardust}}, {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust}}, {{ItA}} {{ItemIcon|Abyssal Stardust}}, or to discover a {{TotH}} [[Mining#Meteorites|Meteorite]] or {{ItA}} [[Mining#Starfalls|Starfall]].


===Acquiring Stardust===
===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.
Training '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the primary way of obtaining {{ItemIcon|Stardust}} and the only way to obtain {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust}}. Both are acquired at random while studying [[#Melvor Constellations|Melvor Constellations]], where [[Stardust]] and [[Golden Stardust]] drops with a 5% and 2% chance per action respectively.
 
{{ItemIcon|Stardust}} can also be obtained in small quantities from {{Skill|Woodcutting|Cutting}} or {{Skill|Firemaking|Burning}} {{ItemIcon|Magic Logs}} - ''see the respective pages for more information.''
 
If the {{ItA}} [[Into the Abyss Expansion]] is owned, {{ItemIcon|Abyssal Stardust}} can be obtained from any [[#Abyssal_Constellations|Abyssal Constellations]]. The base rate for [[Abyssal Stardust]] is 8%.
 
All 3 types of Stardust can be obtained in set quantities from {{Skill|Township}} Tasks.


The rate at which stardust may be acquired can be increased by:
For boosts to Dust Chance or Quantity, see [[Astrology/Boosts]].
* '''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===
===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 Constellation starts with 6 predetermined Stars (modifiers) that are unlocked by increasing the {{Icon|Mastery}} Level of the Constellation. Upgrading Stars that provide standard modifiers costs {{ItemIcon|Stardust}}, while upgrading Stars that provide unique modifiers costs {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust}}. The modifier starts at 0, so you need to use the appropriate type of Stardust to benefit from a Stars' modifiers.


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.
The maximum amount of upgrades you can put into a Star modifier is determined by the type of modifier. Normal modifiers can go up to level 8, whereas unique modifiers can only go up to level 5. Each upgrade gives a linear increase to the bonus.


====Rerolling Modifiers====
The first upgrade requires {{ItemIcon|Stardust|qty=10}} or {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust|qty=50}}. With each upgrade, the cost of {{ItemIcon|Stardust}} or {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust}} will double, resulting in the last upgrade of a star costing {{ItemIcon|Stardust|qty=1280}} or {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust|qty=800}}. Each standard modifier requires {{ItemIcon|Stardust|qty=2550}} to max out, while each unique modifier requires {{ItemIcon|Golden Stardust|qty=1550}} to max out. This results in the following total cost by expansion:
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:
Despite the wording ''Unique Modifier'', the modifiers '''do''' stack with similar types of modifiers, e.g. {{Icon|Deedree|type=constellation}}'s {{Icon|Mastery}} Level 60 star (up to +5% Farming Yield) stacks with the +3% Farming Yield from {{ItemIcon|Bob's Gloves}}
# 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.

skill.

Modifiers will be unlocked as you level up your mastery in each constellation, and the buff can be upgraded by spending Stardust or Golden Stardust to level up that buff to a maximum level of 5 for Golden Stardust buffs and 8 for Stardust buffs.

Leveling Astrology involves Studying various Constellations, starting with the Deedree Constellation at level 1. Studying has a base interval of 3 seconds per action. Studying does not cost any resources and provides Astrology experience and Mastery experience for the Constellation after each action.

Each Study action also has a chance to provide Stardust, Golden Stardust,

, or to discover a Meteorite or

Starfall.

Acquiring Stardust

Training Astrology is the primary way of obtaining Stardust and the only way to obtain Golden Stardust. Both are acquired at random while studying Melvor Constellations, where Stardust and Golden Stardust drops with a 5% and 2% chance per action respectively.

For boosts to Dust Chance or Quantity, see Astrology/Boosts.

Modifiers

Each Constellation starts with 6 predetermined Stars (modifiers) that are unlocked by increasing the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery

Level of the Constellation. Upgrading Stars that provide standard modifiers costs Stardust, while upgrading Stars that provide unique modifiers costs Golden Stardust. The modifier starts at 0, so you need to use the appropriate type of Stardust to benefit from a Stars' modifiers.

The maximum amount of upgrades you can put into a Star modifier is determined by the type of modifier. Normal modifiers can go up to level 8, whereas unique modifiers can only go up to level 5. Each upgrade gives a linear increase to the bonus.

The first upgrade requires 10 Stardust or 50 Golden Stardust. With each upgrade, the cost of Stardust or Golden Stardust will double, resulting in the last upgrade of a star costing 1,280 Stardust or 800 Golden Stardust. Each standard modifier requires 2,550 Stardust to max out, while each unique modifier requires 1,550 Golden Stardust to max out. This results in the following total cost by expansion:
