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

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

  Stardust can also be obtained in small quantities from

or

  Magic Logs - see the respective pages for more information. Both types of Stardust can be obtained in set quantities from

Tasks.

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

      preservation and doubling chances before creating any of these potions is highly recommended.
    •

      reduces the action interval by 5%.
    •     Superior Astrology Skillcape reduces the action interval by 10%.
    • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
      Township
      Choosing to worship Bane in your town after the completion of the base game has a 20% chance to cause a “Nightfall” season in place of any other season, which provides a large 50% action interval reduction for the duration of the season.
    •     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
  • Increasing the drop quantity

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:

Skill Boosts

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:

  • Increased Skill XP: Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
  • Decreased Skill Interval: Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
  • Preservation Chance: Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
  • Increased Chance to Double Items: Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
  • Increased Mastery XP: Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.

For more information on general skill boosts that apply to all skills, refer to the Skill Boosts page.
