It has been 3 months since I started playing Rising Star and now I am at level 40. I am not sure if this is a bit slow or somewhere near the average but what matters is until this point, I am still interested in playing and investing in this game (time and money).
Here is the link to my previous blog @jpleron/a-month-into-stardom-with-risingstar
Just a recap of what I achieved in the past months:
Card Type: People
88 MC Geezer is the latest addition in this category from opening a card pack while S41 Abs is the card I bought in the market to joined the previous Special Mission: Summer Breeze.
Card Type: Instrument
The new additions in my Intrument collection were S42 The Scratcher and S43 Pro DJ Mixer. I got those cards for free from participating in the Special Mission: Summer Breeze. I have a short summary below for the special mission.
Card Type: Vehicle
This is from the last card pack I opened. Although I don't need a vehicle yet since I cannot do Country Tour missions as of now due to low level, the fan stat of this card really help me to reach the required fans to start the missions in Local Gig Circuit
Card Type: Boosters
I have two Energy Boost and one Pizza Box in this card type. I do not have plans yet to buy Coffee Cup or Risky Whisky since I am still not sure how can I efficiently use my energy.
Just a background for this two cards I have:
Energy Boost will refill your energy to 100% instantly. It will require a 24 hours cooldown before you can use it again. So if you have a lot of these cards, then you can regen instantly since the cooldown is only per card.
Pizza Box can store the discarded pizza you get from missions. Discarded pizza can refill your energy to 100% as well. If you do not have pizza boxes to store this discarded pizza, it will be automatically consume by the system to regen your energy. So even if you still have let say 50% energy, it will be a waste if you consume it right away. When you have pizza boxes, you can store those pizza and have the control when to consume it.
Summer Breeze was the latest Special Mission which ended on 3rd of August 2022. Participating in Summer Breeze will grant you a 10% chance to get seasonal cards like S42 The Scratcher and S43 Pro DJ Mixer.
I started late in this special mission since I have to save up the startbit rewards from missions to buy the card S41 Abs which is a prerequisite for this special mission. Overall I finished 67 of this so mathematically speaking I should get atleast 6 reward cards but only lucky enough to get 4 reward cards.
This seasonal cards S41, S42 and S43 can be combine to get the special edition cards like S41a, S42a, and S43a. You need 10 pieces to get the advance card, for example 10x S41 to get 1x S42a card. In terms of the stats, the advance version will get the combined stats of individual cards (equivalent to 10x of normal one).
I am excited and already saving up some Starbits so I can buy the next cards that will be required to play the next special mission.
Each of those cards are selling at a market price of around 8000 starbits. For those of you who participated and these cards, is it worth it to participate in this Special Mission or to just buy the cards in the market? The more people joined in this event, the more chances of this card to be minted. The higher the supply, the lower the market price will be. If few people will join in the event, fewer cards will be minted which makes it more scarce and can drive the price to go up. Although right now, I don't see much difference or advantage of having this card compare with other cards that has the same stats and effect. Anyway, let me know your toughts in the comment section.
I have completed a total of 683 missions so far. I am mostly doing the missions from Local Gig Circuit and Music Lessons. I only do missions from Home Town if the Ego from running missions in Local Gig Circuit is too high already due to multiple runs.
I still do not have a concrete plan in which mission to start first and next missions to take on to fully utilize the energy I have taking considerations the regeneration. I mostly pick mission which can be run based on my available energy at the moment. If you have strategy for this, I would be glad if you can share it as well.
