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.
Feelings Soar with the Wind
I chose Feelings Soar with the Wind as this week's track because this was a track on the album I covered last week, but I have yet to cover it in my posts. It's a great, relaxing track that I love listening to. Feelings Soar with the Wind is a track that plays in the menus for Trials in the Sky First Chapter, and it is also used a few times throughout the game, such as during a specific scene on an airship. I think its the perfect theme to get you into the game as it's full of adventure. Personally, I like the Super Arranged Version over the original, but both are great.
Next are two more arranged versions, but these tracks are more of a fusion with other tracks from the series. So I felt it would be better to separate them compared to the two before. Personally, I like the Zemuria Grand Odyssey more because of how it has Silver Will at the end. I think the Field Medley version is still good, though, as it mixes in quite a few other tracks throughout the journey in Liberl.
I think about the duo protaganists in the Sky series: Joshua and Estelle Bright when I listen to this track. This track always brings back memories of the journey I had through Liberl in these games, and I think the image above shows just how much I remember those times. The image comes from zerochan.
Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Current Status
I gained 237k STARBITS over the past week. I wasn't as active this week but I still managed to get some missions in when I could. So I don't think it was that bad. I did finally get another copy of the seasonal mission, but with the mission ending later this week, I guess it will just be a collection item for people. I also got an epic card
Current Ranking
My rank went down by 1. I kind of expected it since I couldn't be as active this week, but at least I am still doing decent. It could have gone down more so I think it was a fairly decent result.

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.
