Here is my weekly status and giveaway. I also talk about an OST track that I like. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway. I chose a track from a game that I played in the past.
Lyrical Amber
I chose Lyrical Amber as my track of the week because I wanted a more bittersweet theme because the new year has passed but the holiday's time off is almost over. I am happy for the start of the new year but I am not looking forward to work as much. Things will get busy soon as work picks back up with everyone returning back to their normal schedules. This track plays in Trails of Cold Steel IV inside the town of Alster. You visit this town early on in the game but it's a sad time for the entire party as they are mourning the loss of someone. This track easily puts you into an image of a village-type theme. It's a simple song, but I just like it.
The thing that I think of when I listen to this track is Olivert Reise Arnor or Olivier Lenheim when he is undercover as a musician. He is a key party member even back during the Sky arc (Liberl), and you find out later that he is a prince. He is known as the Debaucherous Prince because his mother was not the queen. The track where this plays is the hometown of Olivier and the place where he grew up with his mother before she passed away. His character is very unique and he stands out quite a bit. I like how playful he is despite being a prince, but he is also quite intelligent as he tries his best to play any situation to his advantage. The image comes from the wiki page for Oliver.
Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Current Status
I gained 31k STARBITS over the past week. I failed to do the millionaire mission every single day but I did make sure to at least put down the long 4-hour missions at night every single day. So I think that I earned more. I opened the packs quite late, but I got 2 epics and another season musician. The event ends before the giveaway ends next week, so I didn't put down that card as the giveaway item because you wouldn't be able to run the seasonal mission as it has already ended.
Current Ranking
My rank went up by 2 places and I managed to play a bit more this week. I think everyone is starting to go back to their normal schedules as my rank would be much lower if I didn't make sure to put another long mission during the day.

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.
- Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
- Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
- Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
- Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
- If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
- 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.
- 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.
Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
