Did you know that if you had 100 Wellness, you will be 33% more productive than an employee with just 50 Wellness? This means, for every 10-point increase in Wellness, you could get a 6% raise on your salary.

How We Lose Wellness


LOSING WELLNESS?

Suppose you worked everyday at a Q2 company, you'd lose 2 points daily. If you train each day, which I strongly recommend, you'd lose 1 point. So, in total, you lose around 3 points*. Therefore, to gain 1 Wellness point per day, we need get at least 4 points*.

Houses: Gaining Wellness During Peacetime


RL ACTOR HUGH LAURIE AS DR. GREGORY HOUSE

In my opinion, the best way to gain Wellness without going to war is to buy a house. A house will give you a daily Wellness boost depending on its quality level. A Q1 house will give you about 1 Wellness point** per day, a Q2 house will yield 2 points**, and so on. Of course, you still need food but, now, you can buy cheaper food.

I recommend you buy a used Q1 house first. Though, some people would think it's not worth it and would instead wait a little longer to save money for a higher quality house.

Even though admin decided not to give us wood (which is strange because, when last I looked, RL Philippines was a mountainous tropical rainforest), our enterprising... uh, entrepreneurs have managed to set up a housing industry in the country.

You can buy houses from the marketplace.


WEAPONS BLACK MARKET?

Right now, we only sell Q1 and Q2 houses. So, if you want to buy a higher quality house, you'll have to trade directly with other players or organizations (called "black market" or "flea market" trading). Prices should range from 3.5 GOLD to 4.2 GOLD for a Q1 House, etc.

In addition, I strongly suggest you join the ePhilippines forums here: http://ephilippines.forummotion.com/, and ask around for houses there. You might want to check out the "Houses" thread here: http://ephilippines.forummotion.com/merchant-market-f4/houses-t14.htm

For example, with a Q1 house, you can buy Q2 food and a Q1 gift (and have a friend or you company gift 'em back to you). This should let you gain 1 Wellness point for just about 6 PHP*** per day. With a higher quality house, you'll have to spend less in food and gifts.

War: Gaining Wellness in the Battlefield


BATTLEFIELD?

When you reach level 5, you'll be able partake in war if your Wellness is at 40 and above. We are currently conducting "war games" with Malaysia. You will need to be in Palawan (where the Q5 Hospital is located) to take full advantage of this feature.

Philippines-Malaysia War Games

Fighting in local wars will NOT require you to move, quit your job, quit your party or resign from Congress.

The schedule for war games is announced in the National Defense Bulletin, the official newspaper of the Department of National Defense. Be sure to subscribe to the paper

You can also download the ePhilippines Orders script, an awesome way of delivering military orders and information directly to your eRepublik Home page. For more info, click here.


MY PLACES > ARMY PAGE

To join the war games, all you need to do is click on Active wars list on the Army/Training page (My Places > Army), and search for wars that the Philippines is active in. Click on Details

Or, you can just CLICK HERE.

Then, click on Go to Battlefield. Once there, click Fight to... er, to fight. Each fight will cost you 10 Wellness points. Repeat this until your Wellness drops to 50 (ideally) or just a little below 40. Click Go to Battlefield, then click Hospital, and then click Heal.

If you moved to Palawan, where the Q5 Hospital is located, your Wellness will shoot up by 50 points. Send a PM to your employers with your current Wellness and they should adjust your salary accordingly. Each time you fight, you get 2 experience points. You can conceivably gain about 12 XP per day so this is a great way to level up.


WAR > BATTLEFIELD PAGE

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) provides free moving tickets to its soldiers to move Palawan.

If you are a member of the AFP, you can request free tickets by filling up this form.
