Rising Star - Broke into Top 400 Ranking

I won R333 Logan rare card in a giveaway this week. This card provides 130 Fans, 120 Skill, 4 Luck and 3 IM. This card and the unique cards I purchased last week provided enough stats to help me break into the Top 400 Ranking.

My Ranking and Level

I finally broke into the top 400 Ranking with the stats that I added over the past week. My ranking improved to 398 from 430 last week. This is the first time that I have been in the top 400 and will work to stay there and improve my ranking even further.

This past week, I also improved on my weekly minutes with 4780 compared to 4555 weekly mission minutes the prior week. My total IM and Unique cards are my two lowest stats. I will be adding additional unique cards today, this should help my unique card and total cards stats. Hopefully this will be enough to keep me in the top 400 or move me up even a few more positions.

I was able to add another level this week. I am now at level 121 just 4 levels away from unlocking the next mission. I can't wait until I am able to unlock and run the next mission.

New Month, New Cards

With July beginning, this is the time that new cards are released. I have been trying to purchase all of the new common cards each month as they are released to players.

I noticed there were 4 new People Common Cards:

• 137 Teagan 10 Fans, 5 Skill, 0 Luck and 0 IM
• 138 Finn 5 Fans, 10 Skill, 0 Luck and 0 IM
• 139 Rhys 5 Fans, 5 Skill, 0 Luck and 0 IM
• 140 Enzo 10 Fans, 10 Skill, 0 Luck and 0 IM

I was able to purchase all 4 of the new Common People cards for 1800 Starbits.

There were Seven new common Instrument Cards:

• i156 Karaoke Echo
• i157 LVB Kit Green
• i158 TP 440
• i159 R5 Gismo
• i160 TP Porta 21
• i161 Starshell PFS 10
• i162 BK Lama

I was able to purchase all of the new instrument common cards for 1426 Starbits.

Unique Common Instrument Cards

My collection includes all of the Common Instrument cards with the exception of three cards. I compare the purchase price to the Rare unique instrument cards that I still need to add to my collection. When the cost of these missing cards from my collection are close to the rare prices, I consider purchasing them.

• i4 Cheap Bass - 13000 Starbits
• i12 RS-303 "Bass Line" - 5700 Starbits
• i18 Electric Drums - 3266 Starbits

I purchased i18 Electric Drums since the price to purchase was in the range of the rare cards I would be purchasing from the market. This will leave only two common instrument cards not in my collection.

Additional Unique Cards

In reviewing the cards missing rare cards from my collection. I decided to add additional rare instrument cards. The price of these appeared to be much cheaper than any other rare cards that are not currently in my collection.

Even though these cards do not add IM to my stats, being able to add this many unique cards should help my ranking more than just adding cards that include IM stats.

Earnings This Week

Since yesterday was Hive Power Up Day, I pushed creating my Starbits update post by one day. This extra day makes my weekly earnings appear much higher than they would normally be. Next weeks earnings will be short by a day when I get back on schedule. My earnings this week were 40,362 Starbits that I used for my purchases. I wait until the end of the week and withdraw the full amount so that I can track my earnings from week to week.

This week was up drastically compared to the 31,899 Starbits I had earned last week but even without the extra day should have still been over the 30,000 threshold that I am trying to reach each week. I would like to keep my earnings above 30,000 Starbits and work to get them closer to 35,000 as the weeks progress.
