[M&H Info] Jobs and skills tutorial

Day 697, 06:32 Published in Netherlands Netherlands by Ministerie van Media en Recrui

The most basic activities on eRepublik are working and training. With just a few clicks you can receive 3 experience points (XP) every day, 1 XP every time you work and 2 XP every time you train. Gaining XP will unlock features within eRepublik. When you've just started your life in this New World you can obtain 7 experience points by uploading your first avatar (2 XP) and by getting your first job (5 XP). From then on it's working and training until you've reached level 5 and you're able to fight (Fighting tutorial). But don't worry, you can reach lvl 5 in six days. And if you are bored you can always visit our UNL forum and IRC (How to visit our UNL forum and IRC).

Skill
There are three different professions or skills:
1. land skill for the employees producing the raw materials like grain, wood, oil and iron
2. manufacturing skill for those who work in weapons, food, gifts and moving tickets companies
3. constructions skill for building houses, defence systems and hospitals

Specialize: When you choose a profession and work, you will improve your skill in that profession. The higher your skill gets, the higher the salary you'll get. Therefore it is best to specialize. Do not try to develop every skill, but keep on working in the same profession.



Every time you work you'll loose wellness. How much depend on the level of the company where you're working. Companies levels are Quality 1 to Quality 5 (Q1 - Q5). Every time you work, you'll loose one wellness point (WP) for every Q of the company. 1 WP for a Q1 company, 5 WP for a Q5 company.

Get a job
Go to 'Market' in the blue navigation bar and select 'Job market'. Now you can select a skill, a skill level and a nation. Nation is easy, you can only get a job in the country where you are living and that's the nation selected automatically when you view this page. Click on your avatar and then on 'Bio' to see your skill levels. Select your highest skill on the job market page and select the level of that skill. Now you'll see the job offers. The green stars below the companies indicate the level (= Q) of the company. For each Q you'll loose a wellness point when you work. A higher Q company should offer a higher salary to compensate for the wellness drain. If you're below lvl 5, try to find a job at a Q1 company. Upon reaching lvl 5, you'll be able to (fight and) visit the hospital to gain wellness. Click on 'Apply' to get the job.

Work
Go to 'My places' and select 'Company'. Click on 'Work' to work. You can work once every day. If you work 30 days in a row, you'll get a Hard Working Medal and 5 gold.



Wellness
Click on your avatar and then on 'Bio' to see your wellness.
You start your life with 50 WP, your wellness determines:
* how well you preform at work, how much you produce for your employer
* how much damage you will do in a war
You loose wellness by training (1 WP), work (1 - 5 WP depending on the Q of the company), fighting (10 WP), moving (2 WP if you use a Q1 moving ticket), not having food in your inventory at day change (1 - 4 WP depending on your wellness, the higher the wellness the greater the loss) and owning a company at your personal account (1 WP).
You can gain wellness by food, houses, gifts, visiting the hospital and buying wellness packs.

Food: There are different qualities of food (Q1 - Q5). If your wellness is 50 food will give you 1 WP for every Q (Q1 = 1WP, Q5 = 5 WP). If your wellness is above 50 the wellness gain is lower. If your wellness is below 50 the wellness gain is higher.
You can buy food on the market place: Market > Marketplace > choose Food where the question mark is, fill in the amount of food you want and click on 'Buy'.
If you have food in your inventory, one food will disappear at day change and you've eaten and you've gained some wellness.

Make sure you have always some food in your inventory. If you have no food in your inventory at day change, you'll loose 1 to 4 WP, depending on your wellness. The higher the wellness the greater the loss: -1 WP for wellness 0 -10, -2 WP for wellness 11 to 50, -3 WP for wellness 51 to 80 -4 WP for wellness 81 to 100.

Company: You can own a company on your personal account or you can first create an organisation and let this org own your company. Having a company on your personal account has severe disadvantages: you cannot have a job any more and you loose 1 WP every day for each company.
.
House: Houses are expensive but they will improve your wellness every day as long as you have food in your inventory. You can sell your house if you want to get rid of it. Like food, there are different qualities of houses and if your wellness is 50 a house will give you 1 WP for every Q. Wellness gain is less when your wellness is higher and it's more when your wellness is below 50.

Gifts: You need a friend or an organisation to gift you. You can receive 10 WP from gifts every day. You get 1 WP for every Q of the gift.



Hospital: Every time you fight you'll loose 10 WP. You can gain wellness by visiting the hospital once a day. The amount of wellness you can gain depends on the quality of the hospital, 10 wellness points for every Q of the hospital (Q5 = +50 wellness). Brussels, Northern Netherlands and Wallonia have a Q5 hospital. If you are not living in one of these regions, you can buy a moving ticket and move there. Read more about fighting.

Wellness Pack: A wellness pack costs 2 gold and gives you 10 WP.

Get healthy and stay healthy!
It can be hard to improve your wellness when you have not yet reached level 5 and you cannot fight and visit the hospital. But it is important to have a good wellness. It makes you fight and work harder and you cannot fight if your wellness is below 40. Fighting is the fastest way to level, You get 2 XP for every fight. So keep your wellness high. Make sure you always have food in your inventory. Find someone to gift you. Work at a Q1 company or if you work at a higher Q company ask your boss to pay you enough to buy high Quality food.
