What is needed to hunt "Not Discovered" stars?
A ring of dueling to teleport to Castlewars, for the short walk north to the Professor's House behind the observatory where the Notice Board is.
A knowledge of star locations and the ways to teleport around to them quickly, the runes and other teleports (elf crystal, slayer gem + dramen staff, ectophial, glory (4), wealth (4), spirit tree etc.).
Where to start looking?
I would suggest that about 40% of these stars are in the wilderness but there are a lot of other good places to check as well, perhaps before doing a wildy hunt.
A Not Discovered star can be in almost any star location, but some of the 44 locations in the 8 star regions are busy and unlikely to have a star untagged for long (Al Kharid Bank for example) while others are excellent places to check (Uzer, Crandor, Mos) because fewer players will have passed by.
One rule of thumb is to check the places that you can teleport to fastest, no matter the region, since you know the star is untagged and will only remain so while undiscovered - the urgency of finding it quickly is part of the fun.
After your first round of teleports, consider a quick run to the Notice Board again to check the status (or if others in Star Find are helping, a spotter can watch the Notice Board and update the chat).
Unlikely places are, for example, canafis, akb, duel, aub, sev, champs, yanille, gnomes, west fally, and rim. These are not worth checking first.
Some places to check quickly at first - elves, mos, lunar, misc, keld, jaitz / neitz, hs, crandor, brim, uzer, vultures / nardah - remember to spot Neitz from the edge of Jaitz and to look down from the top of Crandor to the southwest beach (you can see the star after you climb the rope), so only run down Crandor if the star is there.
Overall, C-K, Fremmy, Desert and Wiildy have the best outcomes, but the Not Discovered star could be anywhere.
Remember - "All Your Star Are Belong To Us" if we can find them!
