Rising Star Weekly Giveaway #153 and Mining Village of Mainz

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.

Mining Village of Mainz

Mining Village of Mainz is an OST that plays when you visit the tiny city of Mainz in Crossbell inside Trials of Zero/Azure or Trails into Reverie. This track is one of the most peaceful tracks that I love and it's always a track that I like to listen to when relaxing. It has a mix of happiness and sadness as I listen to it and I never get tired of it. It just feels great to listen to after a day's work. There are two versions of this track: Zero/Azure (top track) and Reverie (bottom one). Both of them are great to listen to but I prefer the Reverie one more because it just feels more clean. I remember when I first visited Mainz in Trials into Zero, and I just left my character there while listening to the calming music.

The first image is a view of the city from the game in Zero/Azure while the second one is some concept art for the city. Mainz is a tiny city full of miners and there isn't much out there. Outside of the mining caves and the shops, there is nothing there so most of the workers there go to the capital city Crossbell when they want to do something else. The image comes from the wiki page for Mainz.

There is an accordion cover for this track and I didn't know about this one before. it is quite good and in the middle, they even show the cutscene showing Mainz from Trials into Zero. I think it's quite good but I still prefer the Reverie version.

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

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.
