How to get easy gold?
Lord of Bones
So here is my first stab at writing an informative article for new players. Having joined a month ago I’ve been trying to find ways of sourcing extra funds to survive and progress. I have found medals really help boost the bank. Max Blue challenged me to write this so here it goes.
As a new player your main objective is to upgrade your training grounds so that you have more strength. This is the best way to do more damage for the UK in battles.
The question is how to get some gold to help speed up the process of upgrading these facilities.
The answer? Medals!
Easy Medals
Every medal awarded comes with a 5 Gold reward.
There are several medals which are achievable just from being active there are;
Hard worker Medal - Log in and Work for 30 days you will get a hard worker medal. 5 gold income once a month guaranteed.
Super Strength Medal - If you log in and train until you have 250 more Strength you will get this medal. 5 gold income just over once a month guaranteed. Once you have started improving your training grounds you will gain more strength daily, ultimately meaning you gain these medals faster! I currently earn a medal every 5/6 days that’s 25/30 Gold a month! You can also apply for Government loans and failing that they are a lot of people willing to help!
Congress Medal – This isn’t really an ‘easy’ medal. You need to show activity and actually add something to your party to earn the right to run. If you join a friendly political party and chose congress on the Party page (16th-23rd). If you are lucky enough to be shortlisted and your party gains enough votes then you could gain additional 5 gold.
Battle Income
Your main goal is maximum strength for the division you fight in, that’s what I have been repeatedly told and it’s so true. If you have a big strength total you can make a huge difference in the battlefield and gain battle hero medals easier. Someone with 30/40/50k strength can win tonnes of medals daily!
True Patriot Medal - Fight in UK battles only and eventually you will do enough damage for this medal. You need more damage for each extra medal and you don’t do much damage when you start the game, check your profile to see how much more damage you need. 1000CC for every medal which can be converted in to gold.
Mercenary Medal - Fight in random foreign battles and once you kill 25 people in 50 countries to get you this medal. The first person I witnessed get this medal was CheetahCurtis. Once I did my homework I found this takes a long time to gain and if your strength training which I am, this will take a lot of XP. I would suggest aiming for this medal when you are much older and in the higher divisions. 1000 CC reward.
Freedom Fighter Medal – This medal is given to a citizen who has defeated a certain amount of enemies in a certain amount of victorious resistance wars by fighting for the resistance force. More information is given here
Get a Job!
The average wage in the UK at the moment is around £50 a day. If you are strength training you can use food supplied by the NHS to survive meaning you can save most of this £50 daily. My military unit also helps me with tanks meaning I can cope and invest in the future! This benefits me and most importantly the UK in the long term. I can save this money earned from my wage to convert to gold.
1 Gold = £232. So every 4/5days you can convert, thats 5/6 gold a month
These are the medals that I have been told to target. If you check your profile page you will see a list of more medals that can be achieved but these are very difficult for a new player to gain.
I hope this information helps new players like it has helped me.
Thanks for reading. Lord of Bones
* I used a past government article from a year ago as guidance for this article.

I didn't even have to ask for my name in an article! Really good article, just want to add a few things:
"Someone with 30/40/50k strength can win tonnes of medals daily"
Depending on your division. Definitely for someone in D1, but not so much for someone in D3 or D4 (I have 60k strength and recently haven't been able to get BH's with my food fights and booster, but could sometimes in the past). I guess it was directed to new players anyway so that doesn't really matter.
"Every medal awarded comes with a 5 Gold reward."
Except I think Freedom Fighter, Mercenary Medal and True Patriot (definitely mm, I won it recently, can't remember for my recent ff medal).
Regardless of those, great article! Voted and subbed.
yep , like it
Agree with CC above though on a couple of points - double check the rewards here - http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/Achievements
Updating now. I didnt see this little note.
Before Day 2,610 (January 12, 2015), the reward for each Freedom fighter, Mercenary and True patriot medal was Icon-gold.gif 5 GOLD
thanks
It was good the first time I posted it: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-moed-mini-faqs-fighting-for-gold-2415859/1/20
You should give credit to people you copy from.
You've edited parts of course but the ordering as well as some of the titles and descriptions are simple copy/pastes.
Yes I used this as a guideline, thank you
No problem, you are welcome 😛
I believe it is tradition (almost expected) for the Congress medal gold to be donated to NHS, if you don't want to embarrass your party.
I was not aware of that!
But that does make sense.
A very nice start!
Thanks Roachford and thank you for the food 🙂
Oh, that food is not mine, it's NHS's, so the gratitude should be directed there and to the people who donate to them!
Nice article, you're a smart man.
Keep up the good work! 😃
