Here is my weekly status and giveaway. I also talk about an OST track that I like. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway. I chose a track from a game that I played in the past.
Believing −Feena & Reah−
I chose Believing −Feena & Reah−as my track of the week. This track appears in both Ys Origin and Ys I & II. The base track of Feena plays when you meet Feena in Ys Origin or I/II, but the best version is the Super Arrange Version that mixes in the OST Believing into the first track above. I think it's a great track to listen to I think it fits who Feena and Reah are later in the story when you find out that they are gods. When I saw the scene in Ys X with the gods appearing, I immediately thought back to this track when I saw the lights that signified Feena and Reah. This track is epic, and the super-arranged version's arrangement is amazing.
The thing that I think is Feena. She plays an important part of the story and I think it explains why the series is called Ys. Both Feena and Reah are the goddesses who ruled over the kingdom of Ys. I remember how she played a decent part in Yunica and Toal's story in Origin. I did play Ys I and II before Origin, so my first time meeting her was when they had already lost their wings and she had no memories. I felt sad when I saw the ending of Ys II as she wanted to be remembered more as a person than as a god. The image comes from the wiki page for Feena.
Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Current Status
I gained 30k STARBITS over the past week and if you add in the millionaire mission, I got around 90k. There was one day when I forgot to visit the game and it hurt quite a bit. I missed the millionaire mission and the long 4 hour missions that I usually do at night. I didn't get anything great from my pack openings this week.
Current Ranking
My rank went down slightly. It wasn't the best week for me, but I am still getting rank rewards. I should try to get more missions in during the Thanksgiving weekend.

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 won't 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.
