Rising Star Giveaway #30: S25 Drop Dead Drums Rare Instrument NFT (ends 11/20)

Here is my weekly status and giveaway. It was another busy week so I didn't manage my missions as much. I mainly focused on getting some more Halloween seasonal missions done and I spent a little bit to get enough Scary Mary cards. Starting tomorrow, I should be able to focus on getting starbits again so I wonder how my earnings will change based on my new cards.

Giveaway

I mentioned it last week but I will be giving away a seasonal instrument. My luck for this instrument was really high but I didn't have as much luck for the other instrument.

The giveaway item is S25 Drop Dead Drums and it is an instrument under the Drum music lessons. With 60 more luck, you have a chance of getting more drunk fans and it benefits you if you run drum lessons. Even if you don't run drum lessons, it can help you in the rankings or you can trade it away to someone who wants it for something you need.

Current Status

I am unsure how much I earned last week since I was withdrawing funds out to pay for packs. I also owe myself 300k starbits (90 HIVE) or so that I spent to get packs. This 300k starbits was an investment outside of my earnings so I plan on selling some starbits to recover this investment. Of course I think the extra cards now is better overall for me either way.

I got an epic E36 Cherry Acoustic and it is a duplicate epic card for me. Considering the fact that I opened 60 packs and I only got 1 epic card, my luck is really bad. From those 60 packs, I got 4 Scary Mary cards.

The animated Scary Mary card is now a part of my collection after buying all those packs. Besides this, I only got 1 bass in my seasonal mission so I am still lacking enough instruments so I guess I won't be getting the animated version of this card. However I may try trading some drums for bass cards so I can get the animated version.

Current Goals

I am up a few ranks this week because of all the new cards I added to my collection. I wonder where my ranking will land after we go back to my normal pattern.

My time played is a bit lower than last week and I kind of expected it given my busy schedule this week. Fortunately it looks like there is a decent gap between my rank and the rank 2 positions under me. So my ranking should at least last for a while.

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.
