Star Find Friends Chat • Basic Information

The shooting star hunt is one of three original Distraction and Diversions. Star Find was the first friends chat to hunt shooting stars, the first friends chat to use the listing method to hunt multiple worlds and is currently the largest stars-only friends chat throughout RuneScape 3.

We pride ourselves in maintaining a productive and friendly chat environment, and while we do not always endorse disciplinary action, we maintain our right to enforce the following rules.

Each of these rules applies within Star Find's friends chat walls, Star Find's clan chat, and affiliated forums, Discord or other related entities. Members of Star Find are considered representatives of the friends chat and will be held to these rules in any public setting, specifically while mining stars.

Be Respectful

– No spamming, trolling, flaming, offensive language, disruptive behavior, etc.

Be Helpful

– Share reports of all stars you appear at (even if not mining), help scope/list/scout stars and answer questions. You may report star locations given to you by others, but you are responsible for the report's accuracy. (See post 1.06 for reporting guidelines)

No wilderness PVP

- No wilderness PVP with anyone mining/hunting stars.

Keep the list of unfound stars within the friends chat

- People work hard to make lists for everyone in the friends chat to use. If someone wants to hunt stars, please invite them to join the chat.

Lobby

- Though being in lobby is not against the rules, if chat is full, lobby sitters will be the first to be removed to make room for active players.

These rules are not exhaustive and may be expanded upon by ranks monitoring the chat as deemed appropriate.

While you're in Star Find, we ask you help out fellow miners by keeping the chat up-to-date. This includes letting us know:

- Report the star as follows: world, location, and size of the star (all on one line). For example, if you were mining a size 3 star at the lumbridge swamp mine on world 28, you should report in the chat: "w28 lum s2".

- To update the chat on size changes, use the same format as above.

- (or "tubbied", as it's known in the star hunting community), give a report stating the world & location, as well as the minute the star tubbied if possible. For example: "w32 crandor tubbied @ :18". As stars only remain for 10 minutes when fully mined, this helps people identify which stars they can reasonably use to cash in their stardust.

- While not necessary, it's helpful if you identify when a star lands on a world with restricted entry (including skill total, VIP, eoc-only, and legacy-only worlds). For example: "w18 yan s6 legacy".
Additionally, if a star lands on a non-members world, you should also append your report (eg: w22f, f2p, ftp, free). Doing so helps players who are non-members identify which stars they can help mine.
