For the last couple of days in Rising Star I have been focused on bringing up my skill points after making some large card purchases which brought up my ego way too much. This consisted of me doing nothing but singing lessons for hours on end. At least I had a bit of an excuse to play a lot more since I've been a bit snowed in for the last day or two.
Regardless, I may have gone a bit overboard... Instead of just stopping at around +500 skill over ego, I ended up going nearly +1k skill over. I was averaging about 100 skill points every 2 lessons so I just kept on rolling with them. This and with finding a pizza slice about every 1 or 2 lessons I was just kept in a perpetual loop of holding 100% energy for the day. It almost makes me wish I would have bought a few more pizza boxes just in case. I definitely made a lot of progress here and nearly broke through level 41 during the day. I should be hitting level 42 within the day or tomorrow.
Doing just one of these missions has been a point on my list of things to check off for god knows how long anymore. A few months to say the least. It feels good to finally put this out of the way, but we all know that the fun is just starting. I'm really excited to see what I can average doing these over Saturday Headline missions for the day.
I couldn't just stop there, I had to pick up something while I was grinding out lessons. I noticed that with the 3k starbits I had in game, I actually had 1k left over on Hive Engine. So I withdrew my starbits to HE and snagged this card for 4k starbits. I believe this puts me at having a total of 10 microphone cards now, most of them being Desktop Mics.
With this newest card added, it brings my possible skill reward from 32 to 64, a +3 gain on the low end and a +5 gain on the high end. That has been consistent with every microphone card I have picked up with 50 luck. And with that I've actually been getting closer to an average of +50 skill every lesson, making the investment worth it in my opinion.
While I'm not finished playing for the day, here are where my stats sit for my total mission completions. Only +19 so far from 2/2/22, but I'm certain I could probably push it closer to 30 or 40.
With all of that in mind, continuing the path for 5k fans will continue, there was just that ego hiccup that killed a lot of my potential earnings from missions. I now have a +1k skill budget that I can play around with when it comes to finding drunks and I am interested in seeing how many I can find when completing the Record a Demo mission.
