I had been meaning to for a while and finally got around to it today. It so happened that the energy boosters weren't ready to get me to 100% energy to do some of the missions so I decided to wait it out by doing music lessons and after a point, decided to write off the day in terms of earning starbits and just do the lessons.
Ego has come down a bit. It used to be at around 7% and now it is down to 4%. Will do another lesson and then do the mini tour support for the night. All the musical instrument cards recently have help to increase the skills points gained per lesson and the minimum now is 30+ whereas at one point, that was the maximum.
Hope to slowly work the ego down back to 0 but it might take a few days unless I solely focus on it.
Interestingly, the ranking has improved. Not sure if this is because of yesterday's pack or because of playing more to do the music lessons. Probably the former.
