Buy cold pizza slices and pizza boxes so you don't run out of energy as often. I think its cheaper to convert HIVE into Starbits then buy the cards given the current prices on HE (same for the birthday cake card you just bought).
For skill, I suggest looking through all the music lessons you can do and pick the one with the most skill. It is calculated based on the total luck of of that specific instrument cards you have. So I would suggest you pick a specific instrument to focus on.
That is good to know about the lessons. Thanks for the tip!!
