Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #139 and Genesis Beyond the Beginning

Here is my weekly status and giveaway. As usual, I am just doing some missions at night because I am busy during the day. I was able to do some missions during the day during the week but not as often as I would like. It has been tough as I have been more or less focusing on chores around the house as the holidays are coming up. Work hasn't been that easy either as I have been quite busy. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway.

Genesis Beyond the Beginning

The holidays are coming up and schedule has been a huge mess. I decided to go with a track that I like listening to and it comes from Ys Origin. The version above is actually the super arranged version and it's the version that I prefer. It's not as epic as the original version that is in the opening of Ys Origin. Ys Origin is one of my top three Ys games that I have played in that series. It's a fairly short game and it only takes a few hours to clear one of the routes.

Here is the actual opening to the game. It has a more epic feeling as you watch it along with all the graphics. It has a different system compared to the existing Ys battle systems, but it was definitely fun. There are three routes and the main character is not Adol. It's the only Ys game where that is the case. Man, that Tower sure is nostalgic. There are three different routes and it was enjoyable for me when I played all three of them.

Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Giveaway

The giveaway item is an instrument under the singing music lessons. With 50 more luck, you have a chance of getting more drunk fans and it benefits you if you run singing lessons. Even if you don't run singing lessons, it can help you in the rankings or you can sell it away to someone who wants it for something you need.

Current Status

My earnings were quite pitiful. It's just as bad as last week but at least I did show up a few times during the week. I opened 12 packs this week and I got an epic card this week.

Current Stats

I got my stats and estimated collection value using the discord bot. I also saw a nice little bot to see my current collection value in Rising Star. Unfortunately, the bot seems to be down right now so I can't get my stats this week.

Current Ranking

My rank is still pretty low and the holidays just aren't doing so great on my schedule. It's taking a while before I see myself having too much more time.

Tips (source)

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.

1. Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
2. Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
3. Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
4. Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
5. If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
