Rising Star: R67 Febie Rare Musician NFT Giveaway #13

It was a fairly busy week for me and I struggled to get my missions on time. I didn't buy any extra cards so my starbits are already piling up and I can already buy another 12 packs. Over the weekend, I am going to figure out exactly how I want to spend these starbits to either improve my collection or to proceed further on missions.

Giveaway

There are not that many choices to pick from again this week so I went with a musician I didn't give away in the past. I did get two of them this week and it was one of the musicians released a month ago (in the middle of last month).

The giveaway item is R67 Febie and it has 50 fans, 150 skill, 4 luck and 2 income modifier. It has similar stats to the card I choose to giveaway last week. Since it has similar stats, I think its a great card to have to unlock missions and improve your ranking.

Current Status

My earnings were decent as I think I was easily pulling in around 8k starbits a day on average. When I compare the earnings I was getting to a month ago when I was stuck on those band auditions. I can definitely see that the extra fans I am getting from my pack openings increasing the amount I earned slowly over time and it is a worthwhile investment.

I haven't really bothered with the other missions on the 3rd map but I am starting to close in on level 100 as I am currently level 96. Since I have such a huge buffer, I am thinking of opening my next 12 packs soon and seeing how much I earn over the week. Depending on how much I get, I am going to skip looking for discounts because they are quite rare. Grabbing a few petrol cans a week will help my rankings and also help me proceed.

My first pack gave me a surprise as I got a E24 Flame card. It has been my first epic card in a few weeks so I am quite happy. However the rest of my packs were quite lackluster with just the single rare card and two common cards.

I found out that the Festival World Tour requires a STAR PRO or backstage pass each time you do the mission. You can find more about it here. This caused me to rethink my strategy since I was thinking that a backstage pass would have infinite uses. So between actually doing the mission and not, I have decided against it for now. I will be planning to do it in the future when I earn more starbits and I don't have to buy petrol cans.

Current Stats

Fans: 25461

Ego: 34416 (298 from drunk fans and 8955 permanent ego)

Current Goals

My goals for Rising Star will probably be the same as last week. By placing high enough in the rankings, you get SWAP.HIVE everyday and my ranking has been increasing quite a bit after my Starbit Millionaire card. At my current rate, I think I may be able to get that level 100 in 2 weeks.

1. Level 100
2. Top 50 in Rising Star rankings

My rankings are up a little bit from last week and it has been more or less constant over the past few days. I do think I will take a huge hit tomorrow though because my time played will drop since I wasn't able to play some missions for a few hours after the most recent reset.

I came close to running out of pizzas once during the week. All of my cold pizza slices and birthday cakes were on cooldown and I was left with 1 filled pizza box. My luck was good after that as I was able to get a few discarded pizzas and they naturally filled up. So I can't stress how useful cold pizza slices and pizza boxes are for earning starbits. I believe the investment was well worth it.

Tips (source)

I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't really been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.

1. Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
2. Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
3. Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
4. Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
5. If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
6. If you have more fans than skill and you want reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
7. Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
8. Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards
9. Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
10. When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
11. Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
