Hi everyone, how's your day today? I am still in a bad shape today due to yesterday food poisoning, however reading lastest @risingstar2 post about RAVE update kind of lift up my mood a bit and here I am now making another Rising Star post now.

RAVE in Rising Star Game* is a mystery for most players because the information about it are available mostly in Discord only and not many players who actively test it on SERVER TEST . This makes them, players who often test it ,having a better understanding about the Rave mechanic better than us. That's why before RAVE is completely released, I want to share this post as a preliminary information for you guys and I hope my post here could help fellow rising star players not to fall behind too far with the others.

WHAT IS RAVE

A Rave is a dance party, where people gather on a certain place whether it's a beach, club, warehouse, or others, and some DJ play music outloud there.

The difference between Rave and Rising Star Game regular missions is that in Rave, you compete with other players. So you need to think, communicate and actively update on the the situation, because if you lose, you get nothing. Many older players are interested with this Rave because If you win the rave, you will get SWAP.HIVE, yes SWAP.HIVE not STARBITS.

This Rave battle is not a one on one competition, It's a group competition/battle. In the beginning you have to chose one of the four available groups: blue, yellow, red or green. The one which has highest people (ravers) will win this Rave. That's why I said earlier, you need to think and plan well before joining one of these groups.

I know what you think, why the interface is so mess up, why can't they make the border clean and neat like above image. Well it's Rising Star Game anyway, old school design everywhere, I can accept that maybe because I am in the same age zone as Jux I don't want to be like that LUKE dude last year who being chased by a bunch of people from Rising Star Game discord because they wanted to lynch him on the nearest tree 🤣🤣

Ok back to the RAVE, before I continue there are points I need to restate below

1. I am not talking anything about the strategy or how to win RAVE. Rave itself has not fully released, so we don't know what happen later some mechanic might be changed.
2. Participating in Rave is not something that Mandatory in Rising Star Game. You can join in or maybe you think better do the idle mission because it suits your style better.
3. I will share some rough numbers however I want talk any about profitability whether how much you can gain, ROI, and whatever it is. Whether RAVE will be good or great in term of monetization, that's out of this post scope.
4. The information I provide here based on my personal experience in testing the RAVE. So there are posibilities that some of them aren't accurate

3 THINGS YOU NEED TO PREPARE

There are many reasons why we need to prepare for RAVE, I am going to share you one most important thing from my point of view. RAVE is expensive (relatively) compared to other missions requirements. Expensive here is not like you need to spend hundreds of fiat dollars, but it's more like you need to spend more than two millions starbits just to be able to participate properly.

I am a low budget player and a bit stingy too, so this case become sensitive to me. I know there are players out there who are similar to me about this budgetary issue. Ok let's get down to these 3 points to make this post shorter...

1. FANs From FA CARD

To get rewards from Rave, first you need to pick the right group which is the group that will win the Rave. To make your group wins the rave, it has to have the most Ravers in there. Ravers are Fans sent there, and the more fans you have sent the higher portion you will get too. So overall we can say it's all about having more and more fans.

However only fans from FA cards which can be counted, by sending them to the Rave of course. This is the first preparation and main preparation you need to do, getting as many FA cards you can have.

How Many Fans We Need

During the try-outs, I found that 1000 fans were enough. However this number keep rising, if my guess is right, we might need more than 2000 fans just to get a proper reward later, or 5000 maybe a safe guess. None knows for sure how people will respond to this.

You can not expect to get something from with hundreds fans, it is the same concept in Music Promoter, if you burn thousands of Starbits only, you need to prepare to get back home empty handed. There is some kind of minimum tranche you need to fulfill here.

Getting FA Cards From Missions

The basic way to get FA cards is from doing Record Signing missions. For every 30 minutes you will get a FA card. Sound simple, doesn't it? However Record Signing requires specific random Fan Club (FC) cards and you need to get that FC cards from Promote Fan Club missions.

I don't think I have a right to write long about Promote Fan Club because I only have done it twice from 1550 available missions. This make me fell like telling people some bullshits of things that I haven't done it myself. The reason I haven't done it enough because I have a very limited STARPRO and this missions are STARPRO burning mechanism.

Record Signing is the sole source of how FA cards are made. Without anyone doing it, there won't be any FA cards out there. As I speak now, FA cards in market getting scarce and it's a matter of time we might need to do this mission ourselves because none will sell FA cards.

Getting FA Cards From Market

As I mentioned above, currently the FA cards market is getting scarce. The current FA1 Supportive Friends are sold around 5000 Starbits, that's a lot higher than what I had been buying days ago.

I used to buy these cards for less than 1000 Starbits. Below is one of the screenshot from Rising Star Discord #market-stream. This is one of the driving force why I want to make this post, I don't want any of you miss out any of these cards from the market, or maybe forced to buy them at more expensive value.

Buying from market offers one advantage over the Record Signing missions, the result is instant. You pay, you get the fans at that time. No need of grinding, time waiting, or RNG gacha what kind of FA cards you will get. however soon people will be flocking into market taking all the FA cards... So I can say this was the best way to get FA cards, but not anymore and maybe soon not feasible anymore to get any FA cards this way.

2. Get The Police and Hoax Call

These two cards are important to make sure your group will win the rave. Polices and Hoax Calls will reduce other group ravers. However talking about these cards is the same as talking about how we run our strategies to win our Rave, so It's out from this post scope.

I will give some points about these cards because each of these cards cost you 1.3 STARPRO, currently its more than 500.000 STARBITS. I don't want you to make wrong purchase about on these, because 1-2 millions starbits are more than enough for most of Rising Star Game accounts to make a massive bulkup on their accounts.

1. These cards help you to win the RAVE, they won't help you increase your rewards. So please don't think much about them if your Fans from FA cards aren't massive. These are big buys guns and cannons, if you are small like me, focus first on collecting FA cards first.
2. As I screenshot above, right now we have each 169 cards purchased. These numbers will keep increasing. So please don't get too simple minded that having 2 cards each will be a game changer. We might need to hold 10 or more each to make the impact on this RAVE battle.

3. Early Birds Catch The BONUS

You know, every Rave where will be some extra bonus rewards if we hold certain kind of cards. For example this one needs "RSTAR G1111" and the previous one needed 15 music NFTs. Most of the time, the requirements are NFTs/Cards that are not mainstream cards such as Fans People Cards

However don't take this simple by waiting the Bonus requirement announced then we get the cards. When the Bonus requirement announced, the cards will be instantly get overpriced. It's a lot better if we prepare it from days before, by building our vast various of unique cards. Maybe later as the game progresses, this one will have a better rule, but meantime better we build up our Unique Cards first.

CLOSURE

I hope my post here can give you some insight about what you need to prepare now before RAVE will be released. Prepare to spend some massive STARBITS because everything related to RAVE mostly are in STARPRO and getting STARPRO needs time and massive STARBITS.

So go get your FA cards then see you all in RAVE
