Stardust is TickMU's key crafting currency. The Golden Archer wants it in exchange for Custom Jewels and Uber Sets. It doesn't drop from regular monsters, only from a specific set of events. This guide covers every source and where to spend it.
Where to Get Stardust
| Source | How Much | Details |
|---|---|---|
| World Boss Invasions | 1x per killing blow | Every 4- and 6-hour boss (Skeleton King, Red Dragon, Golden Dragon, White Wizard, Gorgon, Balrog, Hydra, Zaikan, Death Beam Knight, Hell Maine, Erohim). Only the player with the killing blow gets it. There is no party sharing. |
| Celestial Boss | 1x per kill | Invades Icarus every 4 hours (00:35, 04:35, 08:35, 12:35, 16:35, 20:35). Same killing-blow rule as other World Boss Invasions. |
| Lorencia Race Track | 16 / 12 / 8 for 1st / 2nd / 3rd place | Weekly, every Monday at 16:00. Requires Level 400+, 3000 resets, VIP 2, and a 350 Jewel of Chaos entry fee. |
| Castle Deep (Wave 3) | Guaranteed on the kill, if they show up | Hydra, Zaikan, Gorgon, Death Beam Knight and Erohim are the same roaming World Boss Invasion bosses. They only have a chance to also be up during Castle Deep's Wave 3 (04:00, 12:00, 20:00). When one is there, its Stardust drop is guaranteed. |
| Daily Jewel Drop [Lorencia] | 3x per day | Part of the scattered-item pickup in Lorencia at 19:00 daily, first come, first served. |
Where to Spend Stardust
| What | Cost | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Jewels (Level, Skill, Luck, Additional, Excellent) | 1x Stardust + a stack of a standard jewel, per jewel | Golden Archer NPC Exchange Guide |
| Full Tier 3 Uber Set (class-specific) | 3,000 Stardust + 1,000 of a class-specific standard jewel | Golden Archer NPC Exchange Guide / Celestial Boss & Sets Guide |
| Magic Backpack | 64x Golden Box (no Stardust needed) | Golden Archer NPC Exchange Guide |

Tips
- World Boss Invasions are your steadiest source. They cycle every 4 to 6 hours around the clock, so being active near spawn windows adds up fast. Use the Events Panel or press TAB in game to track them.
- Castle Deep's Stardust is a bonus, not a guarantee. Only count on it when one of the five named bosses happens to be up during Wave 3.
- The Race Track is the biggest single payout (up to 16 at once), but it's weekly and needs Level 400+, 3000 resets and VIP 2. Plan your 350 Jewel of Chaos entry fee ahead of time.
- Saving up 3,000 Stardust for an Uber Set takes a while from kills alone. The Race Track and Daily Jewel Drop are worth prioritizing to speed it up.
