Greetings Buskeria Citizens
I am learning to go pro. I am not talking about GOPRO camera, its very outdated right now, we are in the insta360 camera era right now. However it is not about camera, it is about the PROFESSIONAL CERTIFIED logo that you can see in your Rising Star Game landing page here...
It will lead you to PRO mission. I will not go deep with this PRO, or telling about some tutorial here because I believe 
So let me try to tell something from different angle. The PRO missions are basically divided into two categories, the first one is preparation or no mission at all, the second one is what you do as missions but it won't give you anything in return instantly.
Manage Artists is not a real mission, it is a setting up page which artists and producer you want to set as members in your band. The more band members you have, up to 5 members, the higher the chart points you will get, but it will cost you more to get them. Trust me, PRO Cards are on different league in term of cards' price
A band can go pro if they have minimum 2 people cards. I suggest you to have the second as the producer, you will need this card later, unless you just want to go minimum for fun... Producer is the key to avoid a point penalty, which you need it to get more swap.hive as the reward.
Manage Singles is the most confusing one. It is listed on the second, however this is actually the last phase of this mission. Well not the last, it is the last and before the last lol. Confuse? yes of course you do, unless you have done this before.
Pro Lesson is training your artists and producer. the most confusing one. It is listed on the second, however this is actually the last phase of this mission. Well not the last, it is the last and before the last lol. Confuse? yes of course you do, unless you have done this before.
You can train a people card and an instrument card at the same time. You only need them to reach level 10. I wish not to talk deep about pro lesson, because there are some trick about this one so better I do not make some spoilers here.
The first mission, I mean the real mission is Record a Single. You will get a single from doing this mission, as you can see above, I have 6 recorded single. You can keep recording single, but it will only make you have many single in your possession.
The second mission is Produce Single. The first time I read this one, I have a thought of... The Fuck is this?... Seriously I am an Indonesian, if I translate my language to English, recording a single and producing a single is actually the same LoL.
In this Pro mission, we separate a single with a produced single. A single is shown by a CD or DVD icon, and produced single is shown by an equalizer mixer icon. I think the name is a bit confusing, it is more simple if Jux make this as "Write A Song" and "Produce A Single". Record A Single is more like you are getting some songs.
I hope this analogy can help you fasten the learning process lol.
Promote A Single is not a real mission, it is more like a converting your starpro to a promote token which is shown by a megaphone icon. 5 minutes mission, that's nothing.
This megaphone is useful if you want to battle for the Pro Chart Leadership, else it means nothing. I prefer to avoid this feature because I do not like anything related with STARPRO. They are very costly and not suitable for casual player like me.
The last one is Distribute Single. This is the last phase of this Pro mission. So basically a pro mission is like this:
Record A Single (60 minutes) --> Produce Single (60 Minutes) --> Distribute Single (60 minutes)
The whole process is taking up for 3 hours. The other missions are to support the result you could get.
This is the UI on Distribute Single, honestly it's confusing for the first time because it is exactly the same as Manage Singles, and it is the same actually. That's why I said first that Manage Singles will confuse new player lol.
After you finish the mission, nothing change actually... You can click again to see this page, the same page...
The difference is that the single is ready to be release. No longer in to be distributed. Just click that green box of release single, it cost you no time at all.
You will be sent to the new page which you can see the detail calculation about how much Chart Point you will get and the estimated chart entry rank. If you want to aim the top, you can add some promote / megaphone icons, which one of these will boost a 1000 chart points. Guess what? you will need hundreds of these to hit the top chart.
it is pricey but it can pay off well in some days if you calculate properly. Else none will do this lol
This is what you get after you release single. You will see a list of your single below, because you can release as many single as you like.
The result will be shown tomorrow, it is the same as leaderboard ranking, they are calculated after cut off time. Because I want to know how much I could get, I can go and see the current Pro Chart rank. Rank 42 gets 0.057 swap.hive. It will get reduced 10% per day until it goes 0, so it means the single will stay for 10 days. I do not know for sure how much it will generate swap.hive, mostlikely will hit 0.3135 swap.hive. How do I calculate this? well just add all 100%+90%+80%+70%+60%+50%+40%+30%+20%+10% x 0.057 swap.hive
however that is not the exact formula. There is no formula, it is based on the ranking only. but I believe that formula could help me a bit this time, because it is my first time releasing a single. I will make a post later after I finish this 10 days.
I have decided I will add some more pro cards. I get another people cards and their instruments. I think I just spent around 35 HIVE for these new Pro cards, which I think the price is pretty much reasonable.
However I could not replace my existing band directly, I have to wait until that 10 days of live single finished. I have 10 days to prepare my two new artists and their instruments. Let's hope after this 10 days, I can go well prepared for the next singles my band will release.
Ok that's for the first PRO mission post from me, I hope it could give a brief of image about how to do it.
Usually I share a music at the end of my Rising Star post, however today I have decided I will set something else. We all know that cards liquidity is becoming an issue right now, people are too lazy to get and open some packs.
Well they are not lazy, it is more like they choose the most cost efficient way which is to get cards individually. Opening some packs will give you useless multiple copies of unwanted cards. For most people, those redundant cards create unnecessary cost for battling against EGO
So at every of my Rising Star Game post from now on, I will open 10 packs and share if there is an interesting one from those packs. Let say it is part of my participation as top 100 leaderboard ranking players to do something good for the community.
So today I just opened up 10 packs...
The third pack was the most interesting one. I got an airplane there lol... Honestly this time the pack opening was not worth mentioning, however still... there always be bad days as there will always be good days. Today is just not the good one.
At least I still can laugh at the airplane card lol Next time I should aim 20 packs, I have more chance in getting epics with that number.
Ok that's for today posts, Cheers!
Thank you for coming and reading my post. I live in Jakarta, Ex-Capital City of Indonesia. I used to live by making money online, that's why I like being here, on HIVE, and in #PIMP - (Paper In My Pocket) community.
