totalpwnage Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Definitely deserved AoW completely. Thanks to this guide, getting 80 mining was easyyyyyy. As a matter of fact... Mining is the only way I can gather level 5 clay now! O.O I gotta say... If you're soloing stars... you gotta find worlds that Star Find is not using. When even 1 person is in Star Find in that world... it usually means they'll scout it to the channel -- not always, but usually, and it just sucks cause 30 people come and it just dies without getting much exp -.- The worst ones where you might want to consider hopping (almost definitely should) are the Asgarnia and Misthalin stars. Those almost ALWAYS have tons of people there because they're so easy to get to. So next stop... 85 mining... eventually? >.> Still loving the guide :) Started free trade with 1.5m cash. 2 weeks later, have hit max cash 2x. PvP drops: 359 Brawling Gloves, 11 Vesta's Longswords, 41+ Zaros/Ancient Statues9 Dragon Full Helms, 3 Dragonfire Shields on the old PvP loot system Brawler guide is being finished!

GibberEsh Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Apparently, stars don't land in lumby west mine, well that's what I've heard. But otherwise, this is an excellent guide lol. Got me addicted to star mining everyday now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got me addicted to star mining everyday now. I'm glad it helped you! As for the Lumby star, I've heard lumby mine stars announced there, so I'm pretty sure it's there. Although I may have mistaken it for the East mine, better safe than sorry, so I'll keep that in. ~It's Super Effective!

SwreeTak Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 An interesting guide with a lot of pictures. Thank you very much for writing it.

doodlebug86 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I've recently been active in star hunting as a diversion, and your guide is immensly helpful. Today I was all over the wildy looking for a star, traveling to each red dot on your map several times. I was really frustrated not being able to find the star (I ususally solo them) after 3 trips around. Then I read the map locations a little closer. Yes there is a drop spot in the Hobgoblin Mines, but your map does not reflect a red dot. Thank you for taking the time to create this 10/10 guide, but could you edit the wildy maps to place a red asterick on the hobgolin mines :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaaps1 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ok added Hobgoblin's to the Wild Map, yes it's out of place. That's because I editted it in Photoshop and it was the closest I could find. I did not add in Mage Bank since I have not seen one there to date, or any picture of such. ~It's Super Effective!

khil01 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Pretty good guide 7 out of 10. My only problems were, star find is almost the only clan to make a list like that (theres plenty of others that don't), and star clans hate "leechers"! (sitting in chat and going to mine a star that you didn't help spot for) and that for alot of clans, the star wont be piled high with 15 people from that clan on it. the clan i use for example (star hunters) never has more then 7 people from the clan on a star, we run up to 4 different hunts each round, spreading out. (star find has given all clans a very bad name for piling on stars like they do) Also, i can tell you that i have hunted stars almost every day since it came out, and have never seen or heard of seeing from someone in my clan, of stars landing in some of the spots u have listed. For C&k it only lands in the gem mine in shilo, not by the bank. For misthalin it doesnt land at the mine to the south west of lummy swamp, only south east. In the M&M area, it only lands at mos'le harmless, by canifis bank, and by burg de rott bank, never at any of those other spots. In the pgt area, it only lands by gnome stronghold bank, the mine south of piscatoris fishing colony, and south of the elf crystal tele spot in Lletya. map mistakes: Nat mine dot should be a little to the south east. Coal trucks more to the east near the log. port khazard land in the south end of the mine. the duel arena dot is all wrong, it lands by the scoreboard, to the west of the hospital. uzer lands to the east of dot. rune shop lands a little to the south. varrok east all wrong, lands by the south eastern edge of the mine (yes on the grass not in the mine) lummy east actualy lands a little to the north of the mine. As far as i saw those were the only mistakes. besides those things great guide! 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i saw those were the only mistakes. besides those things great guide! 7/10 Well certainly sometimes what people announce on the chats aren't always clear. However, as I said in the Guide the reason why some of those spots are there are because I've heard them announce (yes I have) and they're on the Tip.It guide as well. As far as the maps being wrong, I tried my best. I'll change the ones that are nowhere close, but the ones that are within a screen or so there's really no point. Once you get the general area you've pretty much got it. Thanks, oh and by the way. With the star chats, I don't think I've encouraged "leeching". I've always helped find a star before I go to mine it (unless it's already been found), and that's what I want to try to encourage. Addressing the fact that no all clans are piled: chances are whoever is reading this is going to use a big chat. In my experience, all the chats I've used are like that. It's true that using a smaller clan with create less piled stars, but that's pretty much common sense. Thanks again for your comments, I will add whatever I can. ~It's Super Effective!

khil01 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I've never heard of stars there but that's ok. I also just wanted to note that the clan i use is "star hunters" the second largest star clan next to star find with over 200 members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the people just pop in a random times to get a star done. ~It's Super Effective!
