Here is my weekly status and giveaway. It was a rough week and I wasn't really able to focus on Rising Star as much. Both my earnings and ranking should be down but I did pull some nice cards. I accidentally made a few changes to last week's post so sorry about any tags I did by accident as I was on the wrong tab. It's the first time I made that mistake and I will try not to do that again in the future.
Giveaway
I decided to give out an instrument to change things up.
The giveaway item is R153 Sitar and it is an instrument under the guitar music lessons. With 50 more luck, you have a chance of getting more drunk fans and it benefits you if you run singing lessons. Even if you don't run guitar lessons, it can help you in the rankings or you can trade it away to someone who wants it for something you need.

Current Status
I just realized that I opened 24 packs since my last post so my numbers are off. So I think I will skip opening packs this week and use some cards from the previous week. Anyways, it looks like I earned about 212k starbits this week. So I was right about earning less starbits because I wasn't as active doing missions during the week.
I was able to pull 2 epic cards so it was a great week after opening 24 packs. The first 12 packs didn't get me anything notable though. As I opened 24 packs, I plan on saving more starbits for the next season mission.
Current Stats
Using the discord bot, I got my stats.
Current Ranking
I am down a few more ranks this week and it's the first time I have dropped below rank 60 in a long time. I should step up my game next week and move back up there. So long as I don't slack off in missions, I should be there easily.

Tips (source)
I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.
- Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
- Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
- Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
- Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
- If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
- If you have more fans than skill and you want reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
- Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards- Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
- When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
- Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
