Join the new world

There has been some confusion among our newer citizens of how to keep their wellness up or even how to survive in a game as boring as erepublik. I must say that it is challenge for even the most able bodied people.

Wellness

Wellness it is one of the most vital parts of staying alive in erepublik, and yet some of our newer members do not know how to get it up to 100 or even how to keep it from slowly decreasing over time.

What decreases Wellness

There are several things in erepublik that can decreases your wellness. These things include working, training, fighting in a battle, or not eating. I am not saying that you should not do these activities, in fact it can be very damaging to your character in the long run if skip some of these activities (You need to eat, no dieting) However you should be smart about how you do these activities.


For instance some jobs that you may work at decrease your wellness by 3, these are Q3 companies, others may decrease your wellness by just 1, these are Q1 companies. It is of course smarter to go with the company that only decreases your wellness by 1. It is all dependent on the Q or quality which will be discussed in more detail later.

Training should be a daily activity, it only decreases your wellness by one and will help you do more damage in battles. It also earns you an experience point.

Battling is something that you should be careful about. Since each time you take part in a battle you lose 10 wellness. Make sure that the region you are in has a hospital, if it does not don't fight. However eMalaysia's main region, Peninsular Malaysia has a Q5 hospital so you should be able to fight five times and then heal at hospital, after you have heal do not fight again.

What increases your Wellness

To combat lose of wellness erepublik also has several things that can increase your wellness. These things include eating, having a house, receiving gifts, using the hospital, and buying "Wellness boxes"

You need to eat food to survive, if you don't then you will wind up losing wellness. Not to worry though your erepublik character will automatically eating the highest Q food in your inventory. It is always smart to buy Q food that is one higher then your companies Q.
For instance clanky4 works at a Q1 company he should buy Q2 food to keep his wellness up. However this can change if you have higher wellness. Q2 food will not supplement 2 wellness if you are at wellness level 98.

Having a house in your inventory will not directly increase your wellness it will only help your food increase your wellness gain.
For example clanky4 has 98 wellness he has a Q1 house and Q2 food in his inventory. His wellness will be increased by 1.6. Without the house his wellness would only be increased by 1.

Gifts are another way to gain wellness. However only other people can send you gifts. You can also only recover 10 wellness a day from gifts.

The hospital can only be used once a day after you have taken part in a battle. In addition to that it can only increase the amount of wellness you have lost from that battle.
So if you fought 3 times that day then the hospital will only increase your wellness by 30.

Quality or Q
The quality or Q of an item is also an important aspect of erepublik. The quality of an item or company is determined by little stars in erepublik. One star means Q1 and 5 stars mean Q5 and so on. However the only part that you should be worried about in your first few days are the Q of your company and the Q of your food.

The Q or quality of your company is very important, it determines how much wellness you are going to lose every time that work. When you are looking through the job offers be sure to look not only at the wage but also at the stars on the side, these stars represent the Quality or Q. The more stars the higher the quality and also the higher amount of wellness you will lose. So when you are looking for your first or a new job be sure to get one with a lower Q or amount of stars.

The quality or Q of your food is also important. It determines how much wellness you will gain at the beginning of each day. It is wise to buy a higher quality food then the quality of your company. There is also a nice wellness calculator here that can help you determine what Q food you should buy. here

Activity and interaction
One of the main points of erepublik is interaction without it erepublik would be a very boring browser game. There are several ways that you can get involved in eMalaysia. You can join the forums, write articles about your opinions of current erepublik happenings, or come on the IRC channel.

The forums are a great way for some to get involved in eMalaysian politics and just general discussion. It is a great place to ask questions on game concepts and to make yourself known by some eMalaysians. Unlike other countries and the erepublik forums you will not be verbally attacked on the eMalaysian forums. It is also a great way to win mysterious prizes with some upcoming contests hosted by some of eMalaysia's more active members. The forums can be found here

Writing an article is always a great way to let others know a littler bit about you and your writing style, it is also a great way to show your disgust with certain parties or person's political views or activities.

While I do not personally like the IRC channel but it is a good way to quickly chat with some eMalaysia's citizens. It can be found here

For those you you who have read this far, good job. It was not a short article but I hope that you found it informative and helpful.

Thank you for your time,
