Starshine can be found in the Crystal Cavern River and the Azuralite Oasis. Both digsites are inside the Crystal Caverns, which is accessible only to players above Level 15. Besides fulfilling the level requirement, you'll need a shovel with a high Toughness rating to be able to collect minerals at these locations.

In the Crystal Cavern River, prospectors have a base 0.00008462% chance of finding a Starshine. Shovels with a minimum Toughness rating of 4 need to be used at the site, meaning at least a Meteoric Shovel is required.

In the Azuralite Oasis, the chance of finding a Starshine is at a slightly higher 0.00009245%. However, to prospect here, you'll need a shovel with a Toughness rating of 5. The cheapest tool that meets this requirement is the Divine Shovel, costing $40,000,000 in the game.

The chances of getting a Starshine can be significantly improved by enhancing your Luck stat. There are several ways to do so, including utilizing Luck Potions and Luck Totems, equipping Luck-boosting gears, and using pans with a high Luck, such as the Dragonflame Pan and the Fossilized Pan.
