Rising Star Meme #68 - Avoid these AT ALL COSTS!!

When it comes to STARBITS rewards, everyone is trying to push the missions' MAX STARBITS rewards. There's only one way to do that, and that is through accumulating more fans. While it is absolutely true, there's one thing that isn't mentioned almost most of the time, and that is...

How to AVOID having your rewards reduced

There are currently a number of ways your rewards get reduced and we'll go over them one by one.

Counter your Ego with Skills

First and foremost, "Ego", the main antagonist in Rising Star and in real life. I can't stress this enough, and you see me nagging about this all the time, but statistics show that if your Ego goes up to around 80% or more, your Max SB rewards would drop down and equal to your Min SB, effectively nullifying your extra fans and the Max SB rewards you get through them.

Avoid excess repetition of a single mission during a day

This one is also a no-brainer. The first 5 times you do a mission per day, your rewards stay intact, but after the 5th time, they start going down every single time you do them.

Note: When you finish the 5th time, the number doesn't update until you refresh the page somehow - eat a pizza, change area, etc... - much like how the SB you gain on the mission updates after clicking on something.

I didn't say "avoid doing it more than 5 times per day" for a reason. Each time you do a mission within a day, your Ego increases by a small amount. (You might not see it at first, as the game rounds the numbers, but it does actually increase and is more visible when the numbers get bigger)
As long as the "STARBITS rewards" (the average of it) per "Ego gained" is at a decent ratio and you can cover them doing a Music Lesson or two for an entire day, then that's a good sign and you can actually go ahead and do them more than 5 or even 6 times.
It is worth mentioning that sometimes it might even be worth doing missions even more than 6 or 7 times since the time some missions take is too short and actually worth the reward if you're luck, y'know.

Something to note

Another thing that comes to mind is that sometimes you might notice that your Max SB reward is fluctuating (decreasing/increasing) and that is because of the drunks sobering up or even gaining more during the missions.
Just so that you know that the actual decrease happens once you have finished your 5th instance of that mission on the day :D
