Rising Star Meme #5 - Beware of the Crow!!

So, today we were just chilling in Discord's general chat when this meme idea popped up:

Who is the01crow, anyway?

I call him the "Legendary Pack Opener" - please, make that card, Jux. 😄
If you're active in discord, you probably see all those General Bot notifications about him opening cards (which has been a serious issue of a dispute as it looks like spam), but if you check the card stream channel, you'd see him opening a huge number of packs daily, sells them on the market, then tries opening packs again to hunt those Legendary/Epic ones. He's not the only one doing that, but he's the biggest one out there.

This brings us to today's meme's discussion and the question y'all are wondering right now.

Is it profitable?

Well, it depends. Both on your luck and view on the game (and strategy), so don't expect me to answer that question directly. I'll provide the info you'd need to decide - if it's not enough, just drop your question in the comments and I'll get to it.

12-Packs, 100K STARBITS, but how many Fans?

Coincidence or not, I bought a 12-Pack Pack(?) and opened them all today. It netted me around 1500 Fans, some skills (didn't count that so I assume 1500 cuz I didn't trigger ego as I was close to it before as well), and some instrument Luck.

What if I bought that many Fans off the market?

Welp, Foxon's tool at rsgfam.com answers that perfectly.

Cheaper to buy Fans directly...
But remember, most cheap cards which have lots of fans LACK Skills and might push you into Ego and decrease your returns, so be careful. Also, buying packs can get you instruments that only provide luck and no fans, but they're really essential for containing Ego... then again, buying off the market doesn't get you the instrument luck to boost music lessons.

Conclusion: Worth It?

Again, this depends on you. Do you want to hold the cards? or sell them? As you can see from buying cheap fans, the cards you get might be worth less than the 10K SB from the pack (OBVIOUSLY)... so it's always better to buy the 12Pack option, which makes each pack cost 8333 SB. Moreover, as long as you keep opening them, you're bound to hit an Epic or a Legendary sooner than later and once you hit that, you're in the green. I'd like to do the same, but a hybrid of HODLing AND Trading to maximize profit... Don't worry, I won't be taking any STARBITS out of the game, just more to open more packs haha :D
