This week was still just as busy for me but I didn't miss any of my daily Starbit Millionaire quests. My starbits earnings are probably down quite a bit as I don't think I have had much luck. Over the course of a week, I got about 98k starbits so I still have a little bit of a buffer from last week. I do hate the band auditions though since I have no luck.
Giveaway
Out of the 12 packs I opened, I got 3 Bethany cards. This card has already printed 3/4ths of its limit and I think its a great card for a new user. The difference in skill and fans is about 25 but the fans are the most important for new users to unlock missions.

Current Status
I did state earlier that I hated the band auditions since I have not unlocked a single band member during the past week. The description says that I have a 20% chance to unlock a member but I feel like my luck so far is around 5%. Why? Because I only unlocked 2 band members in 37 auditions.
Out of my pack openings, I am most satisfied with the R60 Touring Coach due to the 550 fans. As I haven't really been doing music lessons and my lead is currently quite large, I feel its the best thing to help me when it comes to earning more starbits. With the addition of this card, I have almost 15k fans just from cards.
Current Stats
Fans: 15595 (730 drunk)
Luck: 3787
Skill: 27093
IM: 267
Ego: 21446 (730 from drunk fans and 5851 permanent ego)
Current Goals
Well since I didn't get any band members, I see no reason to change my goals. Its the same as last week but I do feel I should reach one of them next week.
- 4 Band Members
- Top 104 for ranking rewards
The rankings I showed above is what it was before my pack openings. So it will definitely go up as I added quite a few unique cards (new cards added at the start of every month). I am just 5 spots away from reaching that elusive ranking rewards and my time spent in games has only slightly gone up. A few weeks ago, this number was floating in the 5k or 6k minutes played range.
I am highly disappointed that I only unlocked 2 band members in around 4-5 weeks because it stops me from focusing on earning starbits. I also wish to start playing with the higher level missions in the 3rd map. However I do think focusing on doing more missions is probably going to be a focus I need to start doing. I don't want to run a deficit during the week when it comes to opening packs but it could just be some bad mission rewards lately. However even if there is a deficit, I currently still have a buffer to make up for it.

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 really 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.
