Join the new world

This is a re-post of an old article that intends to inform the general populace about eRepublik's economic module. In particular, this article aims to inform the reader about gold (particularly, how to receive and properly spend it).



Gold is rather valuable, in-game. If you plan on becoming big and strong, you need gold. Two big questions surrounding the topic of gold are:

*How can I get gold without buying it?
*How can I best spend my gold?

Let’s get some answers!

Medals

Since you started playing eRepublik, you might have noticed that you receive medals from a variety of things--and that these medals come with gold! Some are easy to obtain, but others are far more difficult to earn.

Here is a list of medals you can receive by completing various tasks:

♦ Hard Worker: Work 30 days and you get this medal.
♦ Congress Member: Be elected into congress and you receive this.
♦ Country President: Be elected Country President and you receive this rare medal.
♦ Media Mogul: 1000 subscribers to your newspaper gets you this medal.
♦ Battle Hero: Have the most damage in your division in a battle, and you are a Battle Hero. (D1: 2 gold, D2: 3 gold, D3: 4 gold, and D4: 5 gold)
♦ Campaign Hero: Have the most damage overall in an entire war, and you are a Campaign Hero.
♦ Resistance Hero: Support a Resistance War and win. All 10 supporters receive this medal.
♦ Super Soldier: Earn 250 strength points to win this medal.
♦ Society Builder: Invite 10 people to the game, and have them reach level 10.
♦ Mercenary: Defeat 25 enemies for 50 different countries and this can be yours.
♦ Top Fighter: Be a top 100 fighter for 30 days and receive this very prestigious medal.
♦ True Patriot: Do damage for your country in increasing amounts for this beloved medal.
♦ Fight in successful Resistance Wars, defeating 25 opponents in each to gain this shiny NEW medal.

In Focus: Society Builder

Lets talk about the Society Builder medal for a moment. Not only do you receive a medal for inviting 10 people to the game (and having them reach level 10), but you also receive 10% of all the gold they receive from achievements and purchases in-game! As you can see, inviting people is very much a worthwhile investment.

How to Spend Your Gold

Now, you’re getting all this gold from recruiting people, working, training, fighting, etc... what do you do with the money? You hold onto that gold. Do not spend it on missions. Gold is best spent on your training grounds during a sale.

Facility Upgrades


Look for this bar across the top of your homepage. Can’t miss it, really!

You can also use gold to upgrade companies. Now, a company upgrade isn’t a decision to make lightly. You have to decide WHY you want the companies upgraded. It wouldn’t hurt to work with a profit tool such as this one. In addition, I would advise speaking to your mentor, party leadership, and/or MU leadership to be sure this is what you want to do. Upgrade sales for companies are also pretty frequent, so if you choose this path, make sure you keep an eye out for these to save your precious gold!

Buying Gold

You, of course, have the option to buy gold. And, yes, there are sales for this as well! Pretty much everything on eRepublik that you can buy with gold has a sale. Make sure to wait for these sales. You’ll save a lot of gold, and the more gold you save, the faster and stronger you’ll grow. That’s good for everyone!



We hope this encourages everyone to go out and get some GOLD! Becoming active and understanding the economic module is very crucial if you would like to become very rich (getting mucho gold). As the economy module continues to evolve, use these tips to help you gain the upper hand whether you are handling or obtaining gold!
