Star Dust (スターダスト, Stardust?) is a relatively basic forgeable item in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It is described as "Rare metal from space". It is found in various areas after the Lemurian Ship is acquired, such as in Taopo Swamp, and it can also be dropped rarely from a Sand Scorpion in Yampi Desert Cave (fell it with Mars Djinn to increase drop rate by four times). Being an Artifact, it can be sold and later repurchased. It can be bought for 400 coins and sold for 300 coins. It can be forged into the following items:

Analysis

When first found in Taopo Swamp, Star Dust is a particularly strong substance compared to the Tear Stone. It is, however, very rare early on, and by the time more becomes available at Lemuria and Treasure Isle, it is of little value, and by the end of the game it is practically useless.
