Distractions and Diversions/Locations/Shooting Star

Shooting Star

Main article: Shooting Star

Viewing a shooting star with a mahogany telescope which shows landing area and approximate time.

Shooting stars fall from the sky in RuneScape approximately every 2 hours in one location on each world. The location may be different in other worlds. When players mine through all layers of the star, they will find a Star sprite. The location of the crash sites are random, although the stars always crash near a mine or bank.

Shooting stars can be viewed through a Telescope which gives a regional location and approximate time of its landing. The telescope can isolate the landing to the following 9 regions:
