How to get the Starstone tuning orb

The Starstone tuning orb, a key required to enter the Starstone Barrows expedition, can be acquired through quests or by crafting the orb at a stonecutting table. One member of your party must have the orb to enter the expedition. That person's orb is consumed upon use.

 Several quests give this orb to allow you access to the expedition: Starstone of Shattering (Expedition) and Reaper's Locus (Expedition). Each of these quests will give you one orb.

 If you've used these orbs and need more, you can craft them at a tier-three stonecutting table. You'll need the following materials: corrupted fragment x10, steel chiselx1, stone brick x50, elemental heartx1. 

Corrupted fragments can be found in chests rewarded for closing corrupted portals. You can purchase the steel chisel from your faction representative in any major town. Stone bricks can be crafted from stone. And the elemental heart is also crafted at a tier-3 or higher stonecutting table using water motes, earth motes, fire motes, and air motes. 

Beyond the requirement to unlock the Starstone Barrows, having the Starstone tuning orb makes you an easy choice when people are looking for group members. Complete the quests or craft the orb at a stonecutting table, and you'll be running the expedition in no time.
