In the United Netherlands you can fight almost every day. Fighting is fun, you'll level faster if you fight because every fight gives you two xp (experience points), it will make you and your country stronger and it can improve your health. So fighting is a good thing. But how to fight? Here are some answers.

Be prepared
You must have reached level 5 and have a wellness of at least 40 to fight. Before you fight you can buy weapons. You do not need weapons to fight, but with a weapon you will do more damage.

No weapon = 50% damage
Q1 weapon = 120 %
Q2 weapon = 140 %
Q3 weapon = 160 %
Q4 weapon = 180 %
Q5 weapon = 200 %
There's a huge difference between no weapons and a Q1 weapon.

When your strength is low, you will not do much damage. Buying a weapon will increase the damage, but it will still be low. Better save your money and fight barehanded. Later, when your strength is higher, Q1 weapons are very efficient because it will increase your damage from 50 to 120 %. As you can see, with two Q1 weapons you'll do more damage than with one Q2 weapon. You can buy weapons on the market place: Market > Marketplace > choose Weapon where the question mark is, fill in the amount of weapons you want and click on “Buy”.
Beware: If you have weapons in your inventory, you'll loose one weapon for every fight. The weapon with the highest Q first.

Damage
Not only weapons, also wellness, strength and rank will influence how much damage you'll do.

The better your health, the more damage you'll do. So keep your wellness high. More information on wellness and fighting can be found here.

You can improve your strength and gain 2 xp by training. You can train once every day. Go to My places > Army and click on “Train”. Training costs one wellness point.

Your military rank depends on the total damage you have done in your eRepublik career. In the table below, you can see what damage you need for which rank. Soldiers with a higher rank will do more damage.
