It's been a VERY LONG TIME coming but keyboard crafting is finally live!
The good news is that I completely rewrote the crafting code so it will be super easy to add more crafting in the future.
How To Craft Your Own Keyboard NFTs
If you have never used the crafting feature in Rising Star then here is how it works:
From the missions page (or via the menu) head on over the "Custom Shop"
Choose "Keyboard Fair" and pay 1000 STARBITS (must be in game) to visit the fair and look around the stools.
At the end of the mission you will be rewarded with a random part
Click on "Crafting" and then "Keyboards" to see if you have the right parts to mint a card.
If you have the required parts then all the possible cards you can mint will be displayed. If not you need to keep running the "Keyboard Fair" until you get the missing parts.
- Click on the card you want to mint
and wait for your shiny new card to arrive!
Why Craft?
Well first up it's fun! You never know what parts you might get and if you get the gold parts then you can craft a card with quite good stats.
Secondly, if you manage to get all the gold parts then you get a very very rare card indeed. Just look at the "RSTAR G1111" which is from one of the first ever crafting missions to launch. There are still only 47 in existence!
Lastly there's the bragging rights. If you can manage to craft every single card of a particular instrument then that is some achievement and it is worth shouting about. If you can go one step further and craft ALL the cards as @steevc has done (see his post) then that really is one hell of an achievement!
Get Crafting!
So if you if you have never tried crafting or you are an old hand it's time to visit the Keyboard Fair and start collecting those parts!
Good Luck!
