We have arrived at another Special Mission for @risingstargame following the Christmas event. Although the Christmas Missions were available into January, this is the first time we have a Special Mission Launch in 2025. I have managed to join most of the Special Missions in some capacity. What I am looking forward to collect are the Special Instruments that provide better Luck which leads to higher Skill gained Through Music Lessons.
Check Market Prices First
I use the official market page for the game. Since we are dealing withe NFTs and decentralized permissionless technologies, there are alternative markets that have popped up where users can buy and sell their Cards. One thing I have to say about the market is that it can be very slow to load due to all the items that have been added to the game through nearly 5 years of its existence.
It is bets to compare the prices against similar Cards from the recent time. for that we have to take a look at S92 Mrs Claus from Christmas and S89 Fangular from Halloween. These can provide an approximate measurement of how low the prices can go.
55% - 60% price drop over the next four weeks can be expected for S96 Pinkie. The Instruments will more than make up for that price difference. The real dilemma is between buying the Card from the market versus trying my luck by purchasing Booster Packs. Both have their Pros and Cons.
I Need to Enhance The Skill Stat
The Standard Missions I do add to the Ego leading to a penalty for earnings. On top of that, the bar for STARBITS Millionaire Mission keeps going up as I complete more Missions. I have to increase my overall Stats for the game and I would like to make this an opportunity to do so. I have decided to buy 12 Booster Packs and see what is going to happen to the Stats.
Opening 12 Booster Packs
STARBITS for the Booster Packs are spend from the HIVE-Engine balances. If you face any issues, see if there is too low of a balance on HIVE-Engine wallet. Withdraw STARBITS from the game if necessary. It is a very easy and intuitive process.
As you can see, this was a very ordinary even with no Epic, Legendary or Special Cards. What I have at the moment is the Stats I gained. I am not planning to sell my Cards anytime soon. I might end up keeping most of the my Collection and HODL to the end. I have been around for over 4 years as a part of this community.
Current Stats for The Missions
It is very difficult to improve Ego with Pack openings. Many of the Cards I found in the Booster Packs had far more Fans than Skill. This is likely a deliberate choice by the developers to push us towards Music Lessons. The Instruments from Special Missions contribute to earn more Skill from Music Lessons. The Missions that can provide more than 100 Skill comes with an extra STARPRO cost adding utility to the Token.
Long Term STAPRO Price
I remember the time when STAPRO was worth only 1/3 of its current price and I saw it as a Token that had a good run against HIVE. HIVE-Engine lacks good price charts for historical analysis. The newcomers can only see STARPRO prices falling more than 50%. All of the prices are against $HIVE instead of USD. Keep that it mind when trading. I recommend to stay out of STARBITS as an investment. Use it for the gameplay and try not to buy any unless it is for immediate spending. STAPRO is the Token that has a potential of giving a good ROI.
