People's Gazette: New Player's Guide

64 Day 520, 08:17 United Kingdom
Please don’t be daunted by the size of this article, it will help you new players through the dull earlier ages of the game and explain key aspects of the game to you. Once you reach the higher levels the game will become much more interesting. Please vote for this article so it remains in circulation so more players can see it.

Feel free to add me as a friend and ask any questions.

Where to start?
It essential to begin by getting a job, all you need to do is click on “My Places” and go to company. Here you join apply for a job and begin working. As you work your skill in that field increases, after a while it would have increased enough for you to apply for a new job, it is wise to check what is available to you, by clicking on “Market” and selecting Job Market.

What to do with your Money?
Initially, it is imperative that you spend your money on food, once you begin the game you will only need to buy Q1 food. (Q stands for Quality, the maximum is 5 and the minimum is 1) You need food because every day one item of food is removed from your inventory and replenishes a small amount of your health, if you don’t have any your health will not be recovered.

Training
“My Places” – Training. This raises your strength, which makes you a better fighter in battles.

Party – You can join a political party; make your decision based on how well their political views agree with your own. The top 5 have the most members, and can enter people into Congress. Personally, I suggest joining the TUP.

Health?
Health here is the same as in any game – if you run out of it you die. However, buying food is an easy way to keep your health up, later on in the game you can look into buying houses, or better food. At the beginning of every new day your health will rise depending on the quality of your food and house (a house isn’t essential, I don’t own one). When you fight in a war your health goes down, but you have the option to use the hospital. Q5 hospitals can raise your health by 50. In the e-UK we also have wellness fast, this means you will be provided with the moving ticket to go to a Q5 hospital in a warzone, heal, and come back. You have to do 1 fight first then you have access to the hospital.

Beginner's guide to gaining wellness:Fighting and Gaining Wellness

War?
Our country can decide to go to war, if we have enough gold and it is proposed. If you are above level 5 you will be able to fight for our country. This is the time when it is necessary to spend your money on weapons (you don't need them but it makes a lot of difference). Every time you fight the highest quality weapon will be removed from your inventory. To access a battle you can click on “See active wars list” on the training screen. If the country you are in or one of its allies has an active battle you can join in. It is commendable to move to a region with a Q5 Hospital.

There's more on this in the guide to Game mechanics

Gold – This can be paid for in RL (Real Life) money, however you are given some as you proceed through the game. It can be used to unlock various privileges and to buy health boxes or extra storage.

Newspaper – These are set up and ran by users, they don’t provide a profit and cost gold to start.

Moving Tickets – These are used to move to different regions, including ones in a different country. A higher quality means you lose less health when you move. If you want to fight in a war you can move to a country where there is an active battle. (remember to get two so you can come back afterwards)

Gifting – If you buy a gift, you can gift someone; if your gifted it increases your health slightly. If you need gifting most users are willing to do an exchange.

Voting – Your vote counts. When you are a high enough level you can vote for your president and members of congress.

Congress – These people can put forward proposals and vote on anything that has been proposed.

President – This person is in charge of the country; they make key decisions and can propose new laws and declare wars.

If you need any more assistance, just PM me. If you need some food you can also PM me. It is always recommendable to check the e-UK forums at http://forums.erepublik.co.uk/index.php

Great guide, but...

Gifting – If you buy a gift, you can gift someone; this increases ---your--- health slightly. If you need gifting most users are willing to do an exchange.

Should it not be Their?

I'm afraid that this fell down at the very first hurdle concerning finding a job.

It makes it sound very simple but doesn't explain what to do if, like I found, there are no "0 skill" jobs available in my country and therefore apparently no way to increase my skill to get one of the higher jobs.

Mr Woldy Day 532, 10:24

It is unlikely I think that there will be no skill 0 companies in the e-UK.

If it does say that just check again later on and see if the circumstances have changed.

Thanks for your helpful article - I've given it my vote! Am I right in thinking not everyone on here can vote in the forthcoming Congressional elections (i.e. don't we have to reach a certain level before we can vote?)?
