A Guide to Wellness Management

Wellness Management

Your wellness is very important to your Citizen. It helps determines how much you produce when you work and how much you hit for when you fight. If you have low wellness, you'll frequently be fired from your job and won't be able to help protect eUSA in battle.

You lose wellness from:
1. Working. The wellness you lose is equal to the quality of a company, so if you work at a Q3 Iron mine, you will lose three wellness. If you work at a Q1 job, you lose only one wellness point.

2. Training. You lose one wellness from training.

3. Moving. You lose two wellness each time you move (assuming you use a Q1 Moving Ticket)

4. Fighting. You lose ten wellness each time you fight. If you live in a Q5 Hospital state (Karnataka, California or Florida), you can heal to recover up to 50 of wellness you lost from fighting that day. This allows you to fight 5 times each day without a net loss of wellness. If you fight more than 5 times in a day, you'll get stuck without that wellness.

5. Starving. You lose up to four wellness each day that you don't have food to eat. Make sure you have enough food in your inventory.

You gain wellness from:
1. Eating food and sleeping in your house. Each night, your highest quality food is eaten. If you have a house, it's quality is "added" to your food, so if you have a Q1 house, and buy Q2 food, it is like having Q3 food and no house. The amount of wellness that you receive is between 50% and 100% of quality of food+house consumed (depending on your wellness). So if you just have Q1 food, you'll receive 0.50 to 1.00 wellness. You can see the exact formula here: http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Wellness

2. Receiving Gifts. Each gift gives you one wellness per quality (so a Q1 gift will give you 1 wellness, and Q2 gift will give you 2). You can only receive 10 wellness per day from gifts, and it is generally the most cost effective to buy Q1 gifts.

3. Wellness Packs. You can buy a wellness pack for 2 gold, which will give you 10 wellness. This is much more expensive than food or gifts and only used in battle by players who can do hundreds of damage per attack.

4. Hospitals. While a hospital can give you up to 50 wellness, it will only replace wellness that you lost that day from fighting. This means you can't use a hospital to actually gain wellness.

What do I do about my wellness?

If you've already lost a bunch of wellness (fought after healing, or just used Q1 food for weeks), then you'll need gifts to get you back on your feet. Please fill out this form: http://tinyurl.com/WellnessHelp. As you can only receive 10 wellness from gifts per day, you may need to do this for a few days.

Once you're at 80+ wellness, you just need to figure out how to recover the wellness you lose from working and training. Please add the quality of your house, so Q3 food is same as Q1 house with Q2 food. If you chose an option that includes gifts, you can swap gifts with a friend, or use your own organization. If you don't have any friends, message the USA Welcoming Committee and they will help you gift back any gifts you donate to them.

Key point: If you don't have a house, you will need daily gifts for any job above Quality 2

Please read the section that corresponds to the quality job that you have.

Quality 1

You need to recover two wellness each day (Q1 job + training). Here are your options:
Q3 food. This will keep you at 85+ wellness.
Q2 food + 1 gift. This will keep you at 100 wellness.
Q4 food. This will keep you at 100 wellness.

Quality 2

You need to recover three wellness each day (2 job + training). Here are your options:
Q5 food. This will keep you at 93+ wellness.
Q4 food + 1 gift. This will keep you at 100 wellness.
Q2 food + 2 gifts. This will keep you at 100 wellness.

Quality 3

You need to recover four wellness each day (Q3 job + training). Here are your options:
Q7 total food and house. This will keep you at 97+ wellness.
Q8 total food and house. This will keep you at 100 wellness.
Q5 food + 1 gift. This will keep you at 97+ wellness.
Q3 food + 2 gifts. This will keep you at 97+ wellness.
Q1 food + 3 gifts. This will keep you at 97+ wellness.

Quality 4

You need to recover five wellness each day (Q4 job + training). Here are your options:
Q8 total food and house. This will keep you at 93+ wellness.
Q9 total food and house. This will keep you at 99+ wellness.
Q5 food + 2 gifts. This will keep you at 97+ wellness.
Q3 food + 3 gifts. This will keep you at 97+ wellness.
Q1 food + 4 gifts. This will keep you at 97+ wellness.

Quality 5

You need to recover six wellness each day (Q5 job + training). Here are your options:
Q10 total food and house. This will keep you at 96+ wellness.
Q8 total food and house + 1 gift. This will keep you at 96+ wellness.
Q6 total food and house + 2 gift. This will keep you at 96+ wellness.
Q5 food + 3 gifts. This will keep you at 97+ wellness.
Q3 food + 4 gifts. This will keep you at 97+ wellness.
Q1 food + 5 gifts. This will keep you at 97+ wellness.

To use daily gifts, you need to find someone to give them to you. If you own an organization (something I highly recommend), you can buy the gifts with your organization and then offer them to your citizen. Other wise, you need to donate the gifts to someone else and have them offer them back to you. If you don't have friends you can exchange gifts with, try either asking in IRC (try #eus-interior) or message the USA Welcoming Committee and they will help you gift back any gifts you donate to them.
