Hello everyone, welcome to my Eighth Rising Start Weekly Progress. There are four main sections in this weekly progress. The first one is about what I have been doing for the last week. Second one is about cards I have bought in the last week. Third is about tips and insight on this game. The last part, maybe most people are just waiting for this, is a giveaway.

If you have any good feedback and input about how I can improve this post better, feel free to drop your comment on the last part of this post.

	# Missions	# of Minutes	# of Energy	# of Starbits	Skill	Ego
Total	170	7.440	6.885%	111.424	1.464	460

In average I made about 24 missions per day, and each day I could get about 15.9k starbits. The majority of starbits came from Starbits Millionaire missions.

My favorite mission was Radio Interview, and my second favorite one was Radio Studio Session. It seems I should have more focus on Shopping Malls rather than on Radio Studio Sessions, this was the main reason why last week my starbits got lesser than the previous week.

ACCOUNT GROWTH

No of Cards	Starbits Cost	Fans	Luck	Skill	im
18	107.225	1.955	1.217	1.275	27

Last week I bought 18 cards with a total spending of 107.225 starbits. Last week most of the card I bought were old discontinued cards

I got a pair of R123 Carlito from @pichande at a very reasonable price. I had been looking for this one for weeks, everyone wanted to take massive profit by rising the price. So getting this card was like a bless, thank you and I wish you a very good luck in the future.

TIPS AND INSIGHT

Currently card price has risen for what ever reasons we can have.

I usually buy people card for fans at around 54-55 starbits/fans. Now they are above 63 starbits per fans.

At fans-skill combination, things are worse. I used to get 23-24 starbits per fanskill now they are above 30. It's more than 20% escalation.

So what can we do on this situation?

If cards getting expensive, we can always go back to the basic which is buying packs. Buy packs then open them. However if you are like me who don't like RNG, we can still do these:

1. Check old cards price manually. Usually there are people who sell them a bit lower than others. During this time, sometime the gap is very small so better we buy the old one than the recent one.
2. Get some boosters. Pizza (energy booster), Pizza box, whiskey and others are sold directly by Rising Star Game. They have a fix price.
3. Go buy unique cards, cards that you don't have it yet although they are not important.
4. Save up, usually Cards get cheaper when new cards are released and people go crazy buying packs.
5. Maybe it's time to withdraw some of your HIVE into something else, like selling hive to fiat money and get something good in real life.
