Greetings everyone, how has the week been for all of you? Seeing that Splinterlands is encouraging players to share tips to new players, in today's post I will put some focus on this instead of doing a music spotlight. Hope it'll bring some insights to the game for new players.
Starter Guide
This guide that I am writing will be based on my experience playing the game as a new player. I will share some of the things that we should omit doing in order to progress fast. Advance portions of the game such as music promoter, raves, crafting etc will not be discussed in the post today but might be discussed in future.
Welcome aboard Rising Star Game. Your career starts here and your earnings starts here. You only have a 5 minutes unlocked. What to do next? How to advance?
Mission Clearing
The mission unlocked is the one above and you can only do this because you only have 10 fans. While it might seen repetitive, keep doing this as you will need some experience to level up. Until level 15, keep doing missions, unlock them and then plan your schedule such that when you will be away for longer time from access to the game, do a longer mission that your total fans including drunks is able to support.
What to buy first?
This will be something that most new players will be thinking at the back of their heads?
Many people would advice to get a pizza box, unless you are willing to spend hive to buy pizza box, it will take a long while. At the time of writing, a pizza box cost 24750 starbits. My recommendation is to prepare 1 music instrument of your liking and stick to that type of music instrument. In this game, diverse instruments of various type is not going to help you, as music lesson stack up skill based on the luck of a particular type of instruments. So remember, FOCUS!
Next is to secure sufficient fans (300 fans to be exact) to ensure you are able to clear all missions on map 1 without the variability of drunk fans disrupting you. After getting the 300 fans, then yes, work on the pizza box.
Managing Ego
After level 15, this is where problem of ego start to come. If you do not get this in check, your income is gonna get reduced significantly. So remember to always keep this in check so that your income is always optimal. The % to maintain is 0%!
So what's next?
Assuming you have your 300 fixed fans, pizza box and an instrument. Time to grow your account. Take note, hoarding and keeping yourself to 300 fixed fans brings you no where. You will never see a singer keep singing to the same 300 fans over and over again isn't it? For more earnings, you will need to increase your fan count but at the same time, you need to do music lessons to up your skill to check the ego in check. Always keep a lookout for good value cards on sale for fans or instrument of the type you've chosen earlier. I did a long period of hoarding starbits which hampered my growth. Do not go the same path I did, earn then put in back to invest to grow your account and you will grow way faster and gained even more starbits. You can visit this link to find the cheapest cards available and use them to grow your account. This site is also able to let you have a quick view of your cards (in text) as well as ensuring you purchase cards in the most optimal manner.
One more extra tip is that doing short missions earns more than long missions, so if you're online for longer duration, do more short duration missions.
Remember the pitfalls I stepped into such as hoarding starbits and randomly buying items which ended up causing me to have very diverse inventory.
