Of course this also does include all rewards, new star locations, XP buff, easier to find & solo stars, limit of 200 stardust increased stated being done on March 12 2024.

Instead of off-setting the stars based on IRL world locations timer that OSRS currently has where players can easily find & go to another star ASAP without having to wait 1 hour 30+ minutes?

We spoke to Luma a couple months ago and she said it was only about 90% dev complete (emphasis on dev).
