Astrology is a skill that provides passive buffs to various other skills in the game similar to the

Agility

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.

Mechanics

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.

Acquiring Stardust

Both Stardust and Golden Stardust are exclusively obtained from Astrology. Both are acquired at random while studying constellations, where Stardust and Golden Stardust drops with a 5% and 2% chance per action respectively.

The rate at which stardust may be acquired can be increased by:

• Decreasing the action interval
  • Secret Stardust Potion 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, maximizing the
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Herblore preservation and doubling chances before creating any of these potions is highly recommended.
  • 
    Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Variel reduces the action interval by 5%.
  • Superior Astrology Skillcape reduces the action interval by 10%.
  • Owl + Eagle Synergy reduces the action interval by 10%
    • Owl itself provides 5% interval reduction, so equipping the synergy gives a total of 15% action interval reduction.
• Increasing the drop chance
  • Stardust:
    • The 25% Mastery pool checkpoint provides a +5% bonus to the drop chance
    • 
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Variel provides a +2% bonus
    • 
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Rosaniya provides a +4% bonus
  • Golden Stardust:
    • The 50% Mastery pool checkpoint provides a +3% bonus to the drop chance
    • The 95% Mastery pool checkpoint provides a +2% bonus
    • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Astro provides a +1% bonus
    • Golden Star and Golden Star II provides a +0.2% and +0.4% bonus respectively
    • 
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Variel provides a +2.5% bonus
  • Meteorite Ore:
    • The 95% Mastery pool checkpoint provides a +2% bonus
    • 
      Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Variel provides a +0.5% bonus
• Increasing the drop quantity
  • Equipping Astrology Skillcape provides a +1 bonus to the quantity of both Stardust and Golden Stardust that is dropped.
  • Equipping Superior Astrology Skillcape provides a +2 bonus to the quantity of both Stardust and Golden Stardust that is dropped.
  • Both types of Stardust are affected by doubling modifiers, such as:
    • Aorpheat's Signet Ring
    • Some

    • The

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:

Total Cost by Expansion	Stardust	Golden Stardust
Full Version	84,150	51,150
Throne of the Herald Expansion	30,600	18,600
Atlas of Discovery Expansion	7,650	4,650
Combined Full Version + +	122,400	74,400

Despite the wording Unique Modifier, the modifiers do stack with similar types of modifiers, e.g.
