Wellness 101
Joe DaSmoe
Decided to release this again, I got a pm from a new guy asking about wellness.
Ah wellness, the everyday struggle for eRep citizens. Keeping your wellness maintained is very important, it boosts your productivity at work and your strength on the battlefield. Raising wellness is easy during wartime. Peacetime, not so much.
Your citizen's wellness loss or gain is attributed to several factors. These include working, training, gifting, fighting, food, housing, and moving.
Wellness loss
1. You lose 1 wellness point for training per day. Training daily is essential as it takes quite awhile to gain strength. Never skip training.
2. You lose wellness daily by working. If you work for a Q1 company, you lose 1 wellness. Q2= -2 wellness, etc. Shoot for a job that suits your needs.
3. You loss 10 wellness for every fight you take part in.
4. You lose wellness when you move, unless you move with a high quality moving ticket, then you actually gain wellness. Q1 moving tickets net -2 wellness, Q2= -1, Q3= 0, Q4= +1, Q5= +2.
5. You will also lose wellness if you do not "consume" food daily. The amount of loss depends on your current wellness level.
Wellness level between 1 and 10 = -1
11 and 50 wellness = -2
51 and 80 wellness = -3
81 and 100 wellness = -4
Wellness boosts
1. Fighting, we all know how awesome fighting is. *_*
2. Gifting. Exchanging gifts is an effective way to boost wellness. Your citizen can receive 10 total gift points per day. A Q1 gift gives 1 wellness, Q2's give ya 2 points, so on.
3. Food. Higher quality food gives higher wellness. This effect is altered though dependent on your current wellness level. If you have high wellness the boost is less, low wellness the boost is higher. ex: at 90% Q1 food nets 0.6 gain. At 50% Q1 nets 1 gain.
4. Housing. Buying a house takes time, but its a crucial step. Obviously the higher quality the better. The bonus equals roughly the quality. Q3 house gives 3 wellness. Your house also factors in on the boost your food gives you. Better the house bigger the boost. However, you receive no boost from your house without food in your inventory.
Wiki formula: If you have food and house: wellness increase = (1.5 - (current wellness/100)) X (wellness bonus food + wellness bonus house)

Fighting 101: Fight smart!
In summary, just find yourself a gifting partner, buy the best food you can afford, and use your level 6 gold bonus to buy a house. It takes time, but if you keep at it you will "get well." Don't make it harder on yourself by working for a high quality company unless you can afford it. Also remember most employers pay more to players who actively work for higher wellness.
Good Luck,
Joe DaSmoe

Indeed. Mine is 82.5 as we speak.
Good work Joe. It's good to post these regularly.
I'd rather everyone be too informed about wellness than not informed enough.
reading this article should automaticly boost your wellness.
Oh Joe, you and your wellness articles. Good every time.
Very valuable stuff, Joe, good to see you reposting it. If not for having read articles like this in the past, I wouldn't know now to keep my wellness between 98-100 or even how to.
Very good article! Thanks for helping out us newbies!
It's the Re, Re, Release of this. Lol.
@Bro KillDeer: Wow! Randomness! You killed a lama!!

Meals On Wheels? Free food?
I appreciate this article. i read it last time as a new player. now at 4 months old, i got a lot more from it. So i guess running it about every month or two will help someone.
just so i get this right. you work it takes away 1 wellness.you train it takes away 1 wellness.if your around 50% wellness you get 1 wellness for eating. so you basicly end up with -1 wellness everyday untill you can get a house which you cant do untill lvl 6. unless you manage to get a gifting partner, for which you need a good job so you can afford gifting and eating. is there some way to eat more than once a day?
How do you go about getting a gifting partner?
Find someone else and send equal number of gifts to each other. Take a little bit of money though.
I wish I read this before I fought yesterday. Lesson learned. 🙂
Good Job Joe!!

Heh, wish this had popped up a week ago--as of yesterday I've pretty well pieced it together for myself.
WickedWill04, unless you bought something you shouldn't have, you should be able to buy Q2 food with your starting wages + starting cash, then as soon as your work skill passes 1, either get a better job or ask your employer to match the next best wage. At skill level 2, repeat. This will hold you steady in the 40s until you can fight and heal at level 5.
May I copy and paste this so I can help spread the word about wellness? I know I was also confused on it for awhile...
Worked this out on my second day in this game. Other than that, this is VERY good to know.
picked the wrong job to start out with, making a buck a day untill 72hrs is up. unfortunately that doesn't even buy me food each day. soon as thats up getting a better job.seems to me the best way to keep your wellness up is to fight so you can use the hospital, which you can only do when your country's at war
I need to get a new job. 1.01 is not enough to keep my wellness up.
BUNCHA CRAP - HOGWASH - GARBAGE - No really Joe, always happy to see you publish your articles again as they do help the common "new" man...And woman...LOL
wickedwill04 & Kevin Imagineer: Use the Meals on Wheels program for food until your skill is enough to get you a higher paying job at another Q1 company and you should be good using Joe's information.
Joe: I'm glad you published this article again. The similar article that I had in the past had a link to this one because it is all good information that never gets too old; it is especially beneficial to the newer players who may have not been around when the article was first published 😃.
