Star Sentry

The Star Sentry is a mob that spawns near a fallen star in the Dwarven Mines. (This is not part of the regular cycle of events, it is a random occurrence).

Like Spooky Mobs, the Star Sentry takes 1 health per hit regardless of the accessories, weapons, or armor used. Unlike Spooky Mobs however, they do not take damage from a weapon's Thunderlord Enchantment, requiring the Star Sentry to be hit 10 times. However, applying the Stellar reforge to a pickaxe will allow it to deal an additional damage to the Star Sentries, reducing the needed hits to defeat one from ten to five, as well as increasing the likelihood of Starfall being obtained. The same effect can be achieved by using the Crystalized perk while near an active Fallen Star. They can also be killed in one hit by fall damage, making the Knockback Enchantment useful for killing them.

Fallen Star Event spawns at some of the sub-locations of the Dwarven Mines: Royal Mines, Far Reserve, Goblin Burrows, Upper Mines, Rampart's Quarry, Great Ice Wall and the Cliffside Veins.

Note: A commission from the current King may require you to hit Star Sentries a total of 10 times. Due to this, it is common courtesy to leave Star Sentries alone for people that do actually have the commissions, as Star Sentries aren't very good for money in the first place.

Behavior
While idle, they will wander around the fallen star, only attacking and following the player if they are within 5 blocks of them. They are quick to lose aggression if outside that range.

Fallen Star
Fallen Stars are randomly occuring events that last roughly 5m40s, Star Sentries will spawn periodically around one if killed and attack players close by.

They increase ore and powder drops by an additive +2 per block mined. Starfall can sometimes drop from nearby ores.

When the event occurs, the following message will be displayed in chat letting players know of the spawn location:

A special animation will also be played prior to that, starting near the Purple Crystal one of the orbiting stars will go off-course and travel towards it's crash location.

Interactions

 * Star Powder increases the powder bonus to +5 per block mined.
 * Crystallized increases your base mining speed and adds a chance to deal one extra damage when near a fallen star.
 * Double Powder works on the powder bonus.
 * The ore drop increase is not multiplied by, Mining Fiesta or Skymall's 5x Titanium, being an additive bonus added after all drop multipliers.
 * Interestingly, Refined Mineral and Compact drops are tripled by the fallen star.
