Rising Star Giveaway #27: R91 Bugle Rare Instrument NFT (ends 10/30)

in Musicforlife 🎶3 years ago

Here is my weekly status and giveaway. I managed to take advantage of starbits price pump and exchange out some starbits for HIVE. So I ended up buying 36 extra packs using HIVE and getting two extra bonus cards as a result.

Giveaway

I opened a lot of packs and I can't keep track of things. So I just plan on giving out a random rare card from any of the pack openings that I didn't give out before.

The giveaway item is R91 Bugle and it is an instrument under the Orchestral music lessons. With 50 more luck, you have a chance of getting more drunk fans and it benefits you if you run Orchestral lessons.

I am not exactly sure how starbits I earned throughout the week since I spent took out as many starbits as I could when starbits was near the peg. However if I had to guess, my earnings this week was probably around 165k or so starbits. So I did take a hit to do the seasonal mission but I am sure I came out on top if I add in how much the seasonal instruments cost.

My first 12 packs didn't net me anything nice but I did get 3 epics when I bought the extra 36 packs this week. The three epics were Slither, Bizzo and Custom Import Kit. On top of this, I got 4 more scary mary cards.

I saw that starbits were selling for a high price so I decided to sell off 315k starbits for around 152 HIVE. Later I used LeoDex to withdraw the HIVE back to my wallet and bought 36 packs in total. I don't plan on opening it all up right away. So the Beethoven was gotten for around 5k starbits and the Brahms card for around 10k starbits.

I traded another Drop Dead Drum for a Unidyne. With this, I have another unique card added to my collection. One of the Scary Mary cards was traded for Mozart. Later on during the week, I traded in another drum for a Drumkin card.

While starbits price are a bit elevated, I found the 9k starbits for a cowbell to be a great off so I grabbed it up as well.

Current Goals

My ranking increased quite a bit through the trades and extra pack openings. My time was a little bit better than last week as well so it helped me a bit in the rankings.

I was thinking about it but maybe I will continue to open packs during the event. Having more Scary Mary isn't such a bad thing since I may be able to trade them for something I need in the future. Maybe if I get 10 of them, I will blend them together into the GIF version.

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.

Hi @jfang003 , thank you so much for the giveaway. I am 1 day old into this game and there are so much to learn from your post! My username is @rayius, and I would wish to take part in this giveaway too!

Also if I may ask, by chance are there any further tips that you can help me with for this game? I am quite clueless currently. I managed to rake up 1000 Starbits and have absolutely no cards at all. Hoping that I will be able to learn from you, or that you will be able to help me out in any other way. Thank you so much!

First off, I suggest participating in the Rising Star giveaway to earn some extra starbits or cards. Most of my investment into Rising Star is from the game and blogging. I suggest getting your hand on some cold pizza slices and pizza boxes to have enough energy to keep doing missions. While you are doing so maybe a rare musician might be the best choice if you want a balance between fans and ego (unlocks later).

!PIZZA

Thank you so much @jfang003 for taking your time to reply me! I am so sorry for asking so much, but it is not everyday I get to learn from an expert!

By chance, any idea where I can look out for giveaways? Also, what do I need to tag for Rising Star?

Lastly I know this is a really ridiculous question for someone like you, but are pizza boxes reusable? Thank you so so much, and so sorry for haunting you with questions. Really appreciate it!

You can follow @risingstargame for the giveaway posts. They make a new post everyday so you can check the updated list. For reference, the latest post is here

Ah I forgot to respond to the other question.

The cold pizza slice gives you a full bar every 24 hours and the pizza boxes will store your discarded pizza. So it is reusable.

thank you so so much! really appreciate it! I have just followed the page you introduced! Thank you so much for taking your time to answer all my questions, and so sorry that these questions might have bored you a little! I have followed you, and will be looking forward to learning more from you! thank you so much @jfang003 , appreciate it
