Hello everyone, welcome to my fifth Rising Start Weekly Progress. I think I have broke my record for the most delayed post, I am sorry this post is 7 days behind schedule. Last week was like working in hell for me, I got health issue from the previous week so everythings were to be done last week. I couldn't finish this post and all I could do was getting into ecency typing "count me in" in several other giveaways contest.

But before I start more, I want to say HAPPY EID MUBARAK to my muslim friends. I wish you you and your family to have the best Eid ever

There are four main sections in this weekly progress. The first one is about what I have been doing for the last week. Second one is about cards I have bought in the last week. Third is about tips and insight on this game. The last part, maybe most people are just waiting for this, is a giveaway.

If you have any good feedback and input about how I can improve this post better, feel free to drop your comment on the last part of this post.

RISING STAR ACTIVITIES

I am changing the format of this section now and here were the missions I took last week

Zone	Missions	Energy Consumed	Minutes	# of Trial
Z1	Illegal Busking	15%	5	6
Z1	Open Mic Night	20%	10	19
Z1	Mid Week Support Slot	35%	25	9
Z1	Busking With A License	65%	45	0
Z1	Midweek Headline Slot	80%	60	0
Z1	Saturday Support	90%	120	0
Z1	Saturday Headline	100%	180	0
Z2	Radio Interview	15%	5	36
Z2	Radio Studio Session	65%	30	10
Z2	Shopping Mall	80%	60	28
Z2	Record A Demo	100%	200	1
Z2	Acoustic Tent	100%	250	0
Z2	Local Mini Tour Support	100%	300	14
Z2	Band Auditions	100%	240	0

	# Missions	# of Minutes	# of Energy	# of Starbits	Skill	Ego
Total	129	7.365	5.955%	45.892	605	341

In average I made about 18 missions per day, and each day I could get about 6k starbits. I have a bit of increment from previous week, I hope I could get better in the following week.

My favorite mission was Radio Interview, and my second favorite one was Shopping Mall. I drew a table below showing missions based on energy I consumed in running all my missions. It seems that Shopping Mall was the most important mission I had last week.

I like seeing missions based on the energy I have consumed for them. It explains better than the number of missions, because numbers might mislead you especially when you are spamming 5 minutes missions. In my case, Shopping Mall was my core mission, it's more important than Local Mini Tour Support. It meant I preferred mid term Missions rather than a long big missions.

ACCOUNT GROWTH

No of Cards	Starbits Cost	Fans	Luck	Skill	im
15	59.709	905	56	912	16

Last week I bought 15 cards with a total spending of 59.709 starbits. I tried to limit myself not to buy many cards more than I could afford, however I failed again and ended up spending more starbits than I could gather.

I would like to thank @diegoloco for selling this R131 Star Child to me at reasonable price. This meant alot, I had been looking for it for weeks and no body wanted to sell it at reasonable price. Thank you once again, I hope you get more great cards, Legendaries and Epics, in your new opening packs.

TIPS AND INSIGHT

Do you know this week we have a new card day? Yes we have that on 1st May 2022, you can check the announcement here:

https://peakd.com/hive-195370/@risingstargame/rising-star-new-cards-day-and-change-to-legendary-print-limit

I really hate seeing this card, It makes me want to buy packs and forfeit my card buying plan. Jux Legendary card is god damn awesome!!!!

Ok, let's forget this Legendary cards. Focus on the other interesting cards

I find these two cards are very interesting. I don't say it because it has good looking female image on them, but more on their stats and price which are good for most players.

Here the screenshoot I took from https://rsgfam.com/

Recently many players won't sell their high fans people cards, they want to keep them to increase their stats. In the end this has made all fans based people card price got higher, and skill based people cards price kept the same.

I don't like to recommend streamer cards to new players because it has 50 points gap between fans and skill which later would give a 50 ego points. R201 Maisy and R199 Harriet are the perfect solution for this kind of recommendations. If new players ask me what to do first, I will tell them get 20k starbits ready, buy 3 cards of these and you will have 300 permanent fans. This is your first step, your first milestone to get on to.

How's about R198 Dominic, is it good? I say this one is the best Rare card in May edition, but I bet most players will keep this card for themselves, only a few might sell them on market and if they do that, the price won't be cheap. Starbits-wise, in my opinion better we aim for Maisy and Harriet.

So how's about you, do you have your own opinion about May 2022 edition cards?

GIVEAWAYS!!!

First I want to deliver a bad news for you all. I am closing down Saturday Starbits Giveaway temporarily. There are two reasons for this one:

1. I have plenty of work problems in Real Life and they are killing my time and my minds. Recently I always late or delayed in posting up anything, and I don't want this to become a bad habit of me.
2. In-game I had RC (resource credits) issues, It got to 19% last week and I had to cancel everything from ingame issues such as Splinterlands Rent and PEAKD postings.

I forfeited to participate in WOO April blog contest and Rising Star PGM contest too due to these reasons. Until these two issues get better, I won't restart my Saturday Starbits Giveaway. Let's hope things get back to what they used to be before Q2 2022 ends.
