Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #144 and Tie a Link of ARCUS

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's been quite busy as I start getting back to work. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway.

Tie a Link of ARCUS

Tie a Link of ARCUS is one of the best tracks in the Erebonia arc (Cold Steel) of Kiseki (Trails). It's one of the main battle themes you get when you are fighting out on the field and it's the reason why I did not mind the long fights in the game either. This track just screams of what I think is great rock track to go along with the fights. When I think of Cold Steel tracks, I think of this one as it was one of the tracks that hooked me as soon as I heard it. I don't remember if I played on hard or nightmare for Cold Steel 1, but the fights did quite a while at the start. I think this track is a good fit for what I think of the old Class VII. You get to learn about all the characters in the series as you play the game and while I think that locking major character development behind bonding events sucks, it's a memorable game. The image above is from the wiki's Class VII page.

This is a rearranged version that they included in the 2nd game. I tend to prefer this version more than the original version, but both are amazing.

Here is live version of the track if you wanted to listen to this version.

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

Current Status

My earnings were quite pitiful. As usual, I still haven't showed up as much lately to the game but I'll try to show up everyday. I did show up a bit more 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 up slightly because I was able to log in a few times a day. It was mainly for the millionaire mission

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.
