Rising Star Weekly Update - Spent 302K Starbits to add 5k Fans!

Rising Star Profile

Hard to believe it's been a week again, but yet here I find myself having made this sizable purchase and upgrade to my account. Feels like I am finally getting decent traction on a daily basis while still maintain my edge above my ego let's take a quick look at my stats this week and see how I've done. Pretty good growth since joining just about 15 months ago. If I'd focused on fans in the beginning and not on unique or special cards I think would be much better off but you can't go back in time.

Here are some quick stats about my account.

• Joined 8/12/21
• Packs Purchased: 3
• Boxes Purchased: 10
• Pizza Slices: 6
• Pizza Box: 4
• Coffee Cup: 1
• Risky Whisky: 1
• Cans of Petrol: 5

• 2nd Edition Birthday Cake: 3

Added another 2nd Birthday Cake for 2.7 Swap.Hive

The biggest improvement here is clearly the fact that I decided to add a third second birthday cake for 2.7 Hive. Wasn't critical for me but it allowed me to feel a little bit better about wanting to push some of these shorter missions when I have significant drunk fans and want more income. I have noticed a big difference in my income when I force the 15 5 minute missions, and then focus on the 10 and 15 minute missions before transferring up a little bit. Happiness extra birthday cake will give me two more refreshes within 24 hours just in case I have bad luck and don't get any cold pizza slices.

Card Buying Binge 302k+ StarBits

To be honest the table doesn't look very impressive since I only added six different cards this week. And in fact I barely added much variety since almost all of my cards were either hope, or clark. But the impressive part for me is that I added 5,000 more fans while spending just $302,000 Star bits. I feel really good about that since I basically lost a whole day over the weekend when they were the server issues and I wasn't checking regularly to see when it was back up. I think I also missed my first millionaire mission in about 9 months. Not a big deal I just happened to forget about it before I went to sleep in my normal routine is to run it at night, so the next day I woke up and just started running my normal mission routine. All things considered are probably could have added a little bit more but I'll be happy here.

This week was pretty balanced in adding fans again, as I was also able to add just over 4,000 skill. This means I didn't lose much of my current edge of skill greater than ego. I really love it when my fans are fairly well-balanced and cheap. Sometimes when you look at the market you'll notice that it's extremely unbalanced and you'll do a significant disservice to your skill level if you always buy the absolute cheapest. Luckily there's some buyers out there who have enough skill and don't worry about that and they clear those cards off the market for me.

Next Buys - Growing my Fan Base to 100k

I'm still in my quest for $100,000 fans. I'm pretty close and should hit it fairly soon, but it's not really an end it's more of a mile marker. I know that if I want to keep going I need to significantly increase my fan base even more. I hope is that I'll eventually be able to start adding 10,000 fans a week to help my band grow and earn even more.

After hitting 100,000 I am going to take a week and just add drums for my music lesson. I want to see how much I can boost my potential music lesson by because I am noticing that I am getting much higher ego per mission as add fans.
I'll need to increase my capability in a music lesson department to try to stay ahead. Boosting that to be a thousand or more permission would be ideal for the time being.

Feeling the pull to add unique cards for some reason?!?!

I will say when I was kicking around the RSG fam website I had a strong desire to go check out what I could add for uniques. I apparently been long ignoring uniques since I have given up on ranking but seen that I can add 25 unique premiere 12,000 Star bits was really intriguing. Unfortunately things get much worse for me after that as adding 50 uniques would be $152,000 to Star bits. That's a pretty big jump and even adding 50 uniques doesn't give me close to the top ranked players for unique cards. I only have 497 unique cards right now and many of the top players have 700 to 1,000 or more unique cards. I don't think completing a collection is in the cards for me until I significantly increase my fan base.

Not to mention that adding each unique card to my spreadsheet so it pulls in is a pain. It's not bad when I get a couple of week, but to add to 25 to 50 you need cards all at once makes it much harder to want to add unique cards.

Might Give Myself a Rising Star Christmas Present

I'm taking a look at the market on Hive Engine and feeling like I might splurge a little bit and buy some Star bits to push my collection. I said I wasn't going to do this but I'm thinking maybe I'll go out and buy a little bit to see if I can't give myself an early Christmas present. Not sure what I would buy, but I'm feeling like it's time to celebrate.
