LITTLE GUIDE TO eRep

Day 713, 09:02 • Published in Philippines Philippines • by GODD

Since knowledge is power, this was my GUIDE TO BEGGINERS from start to finish (considered as FIELD MARSHAL level)

1. JOIN in a location that has a Q5 HOSPITAL. This will help you a lot in the future.

2. BUY FOOD. When you join, you get 5 monetary units that usualy gets you 5 Q1 food you can buy at market place. The game explains pretty much how to do this.

3. Get a JOB and WORK.
But FIRST see how a SKILL will get paid as it will go up.

In ePhilippines, LAND and MANUFACTURING are paid about the same, but in other countries CONSTRUCTION gets even 25% more.

Every time you work 30 days in a row, you get e medal and 5 GOLD. This is important since it is a constant source of money.

4. Upload an AVATAR, it brings 2XP.

5. From level 2, you can TRAIN.

This will make you stronger and you can see in here how does this help.




6. IF you work, train and eat daily, in 7 days you will reach level 5 and be able to FIGHT.

7. FIRST TIME FIGHT ONLY ONCE (since your LP will be most likely 40-50) and HEAL
If LP are below 40, you can not fight and thus not heal.
IMPORTANT - you can heal only ONCE a day.
REMEMBER, with each fight you lose 10LP. A Q5 hospital gives you 50LP.

8. HOW "PUSHING BUTTONS" works every day that has a fight in it?

TRAIN - FIGHT (about 5 time in a normal situation) - HEAL - WORK

9. WELLNESS or LIFE POINTS (LP)
KEEP LP at 100 as this will allow you to produce more as a worker, ask for better payment, do more damage, gain more strength, advance quicker.

The way you lose LP is determined by the Qx COMPANY you work in.
Q1 company - work and train - lose 2LP
Q2 company - work and train - lose 3LP
and so on

When you fight,
THE CHEAPEST WAY to keep 100LP is by using Q1 food and healing when you are +50LP. This will get you to advance a bit slower, but will have other benefits and you can use the money for weapons. This can also be used to keep LP above 90 at least with minimal costs, depending on Qx of the company.

When you don't fight,
You can use a combination of Qx FOOD, Qx GIFTS and Qx HOUSES.

You can determin how Qx FOOD can increase your health with
LP increase = (1.5 - (current LP/100)) * Qx FOOD

Qx GIFTS increase the LP like this, Q1=1LP, Q2=2LP and so on.
It's only worth using Q1-2 gifts, since they are cheaper. Also you need a friend to donate them to and give them back. With gifts you can heal as much as 10LP a day. In some situations this is important as it will allow you to fight one mare time. So make friends.

You can determin how Qx HOUSES can increase your health with

LP increase = (1.5 - (current LP/100)) * (Qx FOOD + Qx HOUSE)

and see if it's worth buying one, since the are expensive.

From my experience, on a 3-6 months term, the best way to maintain health is Q1or2 food and Q1or2 gifts
On higher game levels, if you can affort it, you might consider buying a house (Q4or5) and use low Q food, as it is cheaper on a long run (6-12 months).

10. ALWAYS KEEP FOOD IN YOUR INVENTORY
if not, you will lose LP
* if the citizen has between or equal with 1 and 10 wellness: LP = -1
* if the citizen has between or equal with 11 and 50 wellness: LP = -2
* if the citizen has between or equal with 51 and 80 wellness: LP = -3
* if the citizen has between or equal with 81 and 100 wellness: LP = -4
and not gain 1XP.


11. Since this it's a military game, your career is important.

The CHEAPEST WAY to become FIELD MARSHAL is using Q1 weapons. It will take you about 240 days and about 7000 PHP (in case of ePhilippines).

The FASTEST WAY is to use Q5 weapons. It will take you about 170 days and 48000 PHP. This is about 6-7 times more and it's just not worth the money, better wait 2 months.
In fact, if you start to use even Q2 weapons, it will double the costs and time gain is minimal.

The costs are about the same all over the world.

12. If you get involved in politics, it might get you some XP si gold, try it.

13. The game has generous lines for military and economical strategy, it's up to you to discover them, but one advice. DON'T make a COMPANY, but an ORGANIZATION. It will be able to manage several companies. If you do that yourself, you lose daily 1LP for each company and you can't work.

14. I hope I did not miss much, but this was intented as a starter, not a comprehensive guide.

HAVE FUN!
