After a long while, luck has started to become more favorable for me. @risingstargame Christmas Mission is a good example for that. I will begin with a very short introduction on how it works. There are few special Missions available for a short period of time based on seasonal special events happening in the world. You need a specific NFT to play the Missions and as rewards, you will receive Instrument Cards.
Card Minting Available Until January 7th
After coming across the Mission announcement I decided to not miss out on this Seasonal Special Mission as I did with the previous time with Halloween. I checked the market to get an idea about the current pricing of S48 Christmas Elf. I did not manage to find any listings; not even expensive ones (as it is usual at the start of a new Seasonal Special Mission).
Reinvested STARBITS Earnings
STARBITS is the best route to get @risingstargame Booster Packs in your hand. 10,000 STARBITS cost a fraction of what 5 HIVE does. You can consider it a discount for taking few extra steps and being crypto savvy.
I only bought one Pack and this was after a long time. Once you make the purchase using cryptocurrency stored on HIVE-Engine, you can open them on the same page. A refresh on the page might be necessary.
Pack Opening Results
This is likely the best luck I have had so far in the game after playing for over two years. This is one of those moments where you can say the motivational quote; "Good things come to those who wait".
First Mission Completed
I did not win anything. Winning some Cards will take some time. I have few 1st Birthday Cake and 2nd Birthday Cake Cards to restore energy. It will not be difficult to run a large number of Missions.
New players can try out the game here and if you like the game, you can vote for Proposal 226 on DHF for more funding for the game that will lead to faster development.
