Discover how to find Starshine Prospecting, a rare mineral needed for crafting and a hidden quest in Crystal Caverns.

Starshine is a very rare mineral in Prospecting, and all players must find at least one to complete one of the in-game quests. As the name suggests, the mineral resembles a shining star. On top of needing a Starshine for a hidden quest, it is also a vital ingredient in some late-game crafting recipes.
This article explores how to find Starshine in Prospecting. We will explain how to use it in crafting certain items and also how you can open a secret cave door in Crystal Caverns.
Starshine Prospecing Mineral Guide: Location and Overview

The Starshine is a Legendary mineral that has a very low drop chance. Introduced in the Crystal Caverns update, you will need to be at least level 15 in Prospecting to start finding it. But before that, here is an overview of the mineral.
- Rarity: Legendary
- Worth: $2,500,000/kg
Below is a list of all of the locations you can find Starshine, along with the drop chance of the mineral.
Location | Drop Chance | Shovel Toughness |
---|---|---|
Crystal Cavern River | 0.00008462% | 4 |
Azuralite Oasis | 0.00009245% | 5 |
The Azuralite Oasis is by far the best place to farm for Starshine in Prospecting. However, you will need to have a Toughness 5 shovel for that. Also, a high-level pan (such as the Aurora Pan) with a high luck stat is a must. Try to use Luck totems to increase your chances.
