I have now been playing Rising Star for a week. I am trying to always start a mission first thing each morning. Since your Drunk (Temporary) Fans wake up after 12 hours, I was always losing my fans prior morning impacting which missions I could start.
Starbit Earnings
I am slowly earning Starbits but it is a slow process completing the beginning level missions. Since I have started eight days ago, I have earned 3,669 Starbits. At this rate it would take me another 10 days before I had enough to purchase a card pack that costs 10,000 Starbits.
Purchasing Cards
Since I am new, I have not earned enough Starbits for a Card Pack. However I noticed there are cards on the market that will add fans, skills and luck that are needed when I get to the higher levels.
I earn only low amounts because I can not start an of the higher missions. Due to this, I decided to purchase some cards so that I can start a higher mission.
Do Not Over Pay
When I purchased the i30 Cheap Mic V2, it was offered for both Starbits and Swap.Hive Since I only earn Starbits from Rising Star Missions, I had only been looking at the lowest Starbits price. Then I started thinking that maybe I should calculate the rate of Starbits to Swap.Hive. Based on this, it is cheaper to purchase this card using Swap.Hive than Starbits. I converted 1157 Starbits for 0.0399 Swap.Hive and made the purchase saving around 350 Starbits in the process.
Progress So Far
After eight days, I am at level 11, completed 108 Missions. I have 44 Fans (30 Permanent, 14 Temporary), 2 Luck, 35 Skills (8 Cards, 27 Lessons) and 1 Income Modifier.
With 30 Permanent Fans, I can start each morning on the Open Mic Night Mission or Basic Singing Lesson. At level 15, the Ego meter will appear at which time skills start playing a role. I will need as many Skills as Fans otherwise my Ego will begin to grow. I should be at level 15 within the week.
Next Steps
I will continue to look for lower priced cards on the market to add fans so I can start each morning at a higher mission level. I also need to consider purchasing a Pizza Box, Coffee Cup and a guitar.
What else should I consider as my next steps?
