Starcatcher

Players have **3 or 4 days** to complete the challenge of collecting a certain amount of Stars in order to win special rewards.

* Starcatcher is usually a 4-day mini-event that starts when the new event starts.
* With the Ghostly Beauty update 2.23, (April 20, 2022) an additional Starcatcher mini-event was introduced on the 3rd Friday of the Main Event and runs 3 days.

During the Starcatcher mini-event, a special game mode will be available where you collect stars for the remaining exploration time.
The more time left on the timer, the more stars you will get.

The Starcatcher mini-event was changed during the Love Story update 2.33 (February 1, 2023) and altered how stars are awarded and how many stars are awarded at the end of each location played in the mini-event. See History for information on how the stars were awarded previously.

The amount of Stars awarded was changed to be more generous during the Unforgettable Flight 2.36 (April 26, 2023) update. See History for information on how the many stars were awarded previously.

## Playing

To play, you will need the special item 'Celestial Net'  to play. No additional energy or Location Access Pass is required, only the Celestial Net.

You are given 30 Celestial nets and 25 stars to start the mini-event.

**Celestial Nets can be found by playing the Event Location only.**

The Event Location yields **25** Celestial Nets  per win. Each Play of Starcatcher costs 10 Celestial Nets .

 Once you have enough Celestial Nets to enter and Play, tap the Starcatcher Event Icon located on the right side of your map. Then tap the Play button, which takes you to a random Hidden Object Location. Ten (10) Celestial Nets are required per play.

Stars are awarded after each play of the Starcatcher mini-event locations. The amount of stars awarded depends on the amount of time left on the timer at the end of exploring the location. Stars are accumulated to achieve rewards.

## Number of Stars Awarded

Get 12 stars if you finish in under 2 minutes 30 seconds.
After 2 minutes 30 seconds, you will lose stars every 15 seconds down to a minimum of 3

 1:59 - 1:45
 1:44 - 1:30
 1:29 - 1:15
 1:14 - 1:00
 0:59 - 0:45
 0:44 - 0:30

## Extra Celestial Nets

Once an event is over, you will no longer need the *Celestial Nets* you've accumulated, so they are converted into access passes for premium locations at a rate of 2:1. For every 2 Celestial Nets you have at the end of the event, you will receive 1 premium location access pass.

The Celestial Nets will NOT convert to the current event location access passes.

Once you complete the Starcatcher event (collecting the maximum amount of Stars and receiving the final prize), the extra Celestial Nets will be converted immediately. If you do not finish the event, any remaining Celestial Nets will be converted at the end of the Main Event.

If extra Celestial Nets were not converted immediately after the end of an event, this will happen a little later.

## Notes

* Anomalies are not able to be Dispelled.
* Only your open locations and the location rank you are at are in this mini-event.
* During this mini-event, the Flying Time tool will have a longer gap between activations in the special game mode—45 seconds.
