Hello everyone, welcome to my sixth Rising Start Weekly Progress. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 128 | 7.385 | 5.680% | 44.927 | 908 | 350 |
In average I made about 18 missions per day, and each day I could get about 6k starbits. Nothing much different from my previous week, only this time I have taken more music lesson to increase my skill.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 37.920 | 485 | 18 | 373 | 12 |
Last week I bought 9 cards with a total spending of 37.920 starbits. I ran out of starbits that's why I didn't by many cards last week. That's the main reason why my rank dropped too, many players outgrew me. I think I need to get atleast 2 cards a day to keep on climbing the rank.
This is a very unique cards, having 200 fans for a Rare card. Because this is an old version card, it has got discontinued for such a long time, no more new print out, It's very hard for you to get this card with a reasonable price.
Only players who love to collect old card usually buy this kind of cards. All this cards holders and sellers know even the price is set higher, there are always be collectors who buy them. However I managed to get this one only for 13.250 starbits thanks to 
TIPS AND INSIGHT
How big is your account? This is a simple question, however sometime the answer could go wrong. There are some different understanding between new old players. When a new players ask about the size of an account, it can be 3 meaning for them:
- What level has it reached?
- What rank has it got?
- how high is your stats?
Honestly those 3 can be related but can be not too.
Level Matters on the Missions Only
Our level in Rising Star doesn't effect on how big our stats or attributes is. You can get high level but your stats keeps on low number, vice versa. You can make a hugh number of starbits eventhough your level is not hugh.
The benefit of having high level is to get permission to run certain missions. The higher your level is, the more type of missions you can run, including for Music Lessons too. For some people, more missions = more fun, and for some other, more missions = more opportunity of starbits.
So missions won't affect your starbits directly, indirectly it will allow you to do more missions which can give more starbits, such as Starbits Millionaire Missions.
Rank vs Stats (or Attributes)
In general higher rank should be higher stats. However in reality, it doesn't work that way. Let me simplify this by showing the table below and take 3 person as comparison to explain this.
 |  |  |
|---|---|---|
| I am on rank 332, this is my stats | This is Liuke's stats. He is 2 rank below me however his stats is 31x bigger than mine | Mr Gupta is on 322, 10 rank higher than me but his stats is almost half of mine only |
Comparing 3 of us, you can see our rank don't represent our stats.
In my opinion, how big our account is about how high our stats is. Rank is more representing how far we are doing this game compared to others.
I focus more on rank than on stats because I believe more on progression rather than earning something. If I want money, I get some works then invest in financial instruments out there... not spending my life playing rising star then bitching and ranting if things don't go as what I want.
