[eJSF] The perfect resident’s handbook - vol.1

“What's the good of a home, if you are never in it?”
George Grossmith, The Diary of a Nobody
Dear and evaluated readers and you too, people of eRepublik.
😃
some week have passed since admins introduced the residence module, and it’s time to write a short guide on how optimize its usage and unleash all of its potential. Oh wait! We still miss a part of this module: the “city administration”. Nevermind. This is the “volume one”. A second volume will be released when (and if) the rest of the update will be implemented. So, let’s see how to be a perfect resident.
1) SHOULD I BE A RESIDENT?
You don’t have to. But once you do, you will always be a resident somewhere. So let’s see if residence fits your gameplay:
a ) THE REGULAR TWO-CLICKER: You should be a resident only if your holding is in a “town”, “large town” or a “city” or you can easily move without spending too much to work as a manager.
Why? You can optimize your daily tasks using houses. Just remember to activate them (use my "House Profitabilty Tool" to check how many house qualities are profitable for you) and work overtime every day.
b ) THE OCCASIONAL TWO-CLICKER: No, go back to enjoy RL, at least until your bf/gf breaks up.
c ) THE DAILY ORDER SOLDIER: You just work, train and complete DO everyday? Do that! Get your residence ASAP!
Why? You probably already own the +100 and +50 energy limit buildings. You will get +50 energy limit for becoming a resident, and, as long as you aren’t resident in an average or a big city, you can probably consider profitable both Q1 and Q2 houses. That will mean a further +50 and +80 energy limit. With a 830 energy limit you will be able to work, train and complete the daily order connecting to eRepublik just once every day. Maybe you can even WAM with the same amount of energy! Sounds cool, doesn’t it?
d ) THE NON-BUYING ACTIVE PATRIOT: You always fight for the same country, and you maybe even have your holding there. Take the residence in that region.
Why? You don’t need to move a lot. You will fight in MPP direct wars and in RWs if your country is occupied.
e ) THE WANDERER: You like mercenary medals, freedom fighting or moving for tasty COs. Stay ronin.
Why? The residence will double your moving costs, and considering you move 4-5 times a day, the costs aren’t the same as the benefits.
f ) THE BUYER: Come on. You don’t even care of what I write. You already use houses because your best friend Plato supplies you much better than my saving suggestions can do. Take your residence and store your c. card there.
Why? You like to say “because I can”. Adding something would just encourage you. And you will have several energy bonuses to feel more encouraged.
g ) THE HUNTER: If I was you I wouldn’t read this article. Go and watch your back from enemy hunters. Anyway you will be a happy resident for sure. Houses can give you a couple of big advantages in hunting.
Why? Because probably the hero medals you want are safer if you have more energy to increase your food fights.
You aren’t in one of the categories above? Mix them up and you’ll find that something suites you.
Let’s move on.
2) RESIDENTS HINTS
Some of you already took them in consideration. So now let’s see.
a ) Create the right browser environment for your new life: bookmark the changing residence page, the storage page (cause you don’t always need to waste your Q5 tickets to move) and install a countdown extension on your browser.
b ) Moving across the world for WAM is expensive if you go there everyday. Are you online at daychange? Move to your holding’s region at 23:55 erep time, WAM for the past day and stay there until the day changes and you can WAM again. A couple of tickets less everyday means 1,5 golds each week. Is it so bad saving?
c ) House usage.
First of all, if you connect daily or such, and you don’t already keep an active Q1 house, you’re doing wrong. Q1 houses cost a lot less than what you will earn with an average market wage through working overtime. That’s money you are throwing out of the window. Buy your Q1 house, keep it active and work overtime.
I am giving you big news: sometimes a Q2 house can repay itself with work overtime. But now you have a cost when you are a resident and you activate a house. Check my tool to verify your house profitability.
3) CONCLUSIONS
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Mötley Crüe, Home sweet home
Until we don’t have the full sight, we can’t give a complete judgement and the hints you can have are gonna be just a few. Someday another update will tell to us, residents or not, what’s the best to do.
Till then, just do your best to have fun!

good
Nice

I was so skeptical with this topic.... but now I think the residence is good... for everyone. Well, if you are 2clicker (just work-training), of course residences dont matter. But for anyone who fights, inclusive only DO, residence gives you more FF to fight. And because of the cost of some houses (at less Q1, maybe Q1-2 too), you can buy them for free with the tickets. So you get more energy pool and ff/hour for free.
And in the future.... future..... or never perhaps haha. when big cities give +200 energy pool... well, perfect.
I agree with you. Residence became a good thing for the fighters. The few who fight little and just for mercenary or ff or COs could have problems with tickets, anyway. They will need to fix the residence in a region or near a region with many MPPs and stuff.
Well, you can choose USA/Serbia/Chile, depends of your our country. Really I think that tickets are not a problem here, because a bh hunter moves a lot. So, if you wait for full FF, and then fight in 7-8 places at the same time, then you only have to use 1 ticket more to back to residence. An this is ever better, because you get a little more FF for defending a bh if it´s neccesary
You forgot to add
THE LAZY HAMSTER: a little critter that sometimes stumbles on the game and then finds funny to complete DO or work somewhere, then vaporize some foes, then eat some crunchies, do some spins on his wheel and finally sleeps a little.
Then he jumps to the Andromeda Galaxy to see the last arrivals in hamster furniture and happy crappy crunchy sweeties.
Does he need a residence?
Have a nice solar cycle

uhm, er... just forgot to mention that this is a pandimentional little lazy hamster I was talking ( not the next door usual hamster, I suppose)

A great article!
You did a fine job explaining the residence effect. Admin should hire you.
However you do not have my category: Lazy ass old fart that makes some gold off training because contract is free for me now. I WaM and buy tycoon pack to make lots of food. Sell packs to buy weapons and have cc available to cause mayhem. With blitz I have over 2k energy. Houses in my storage have dust on them because it bored me. I sold my house factory long time ago. Other than popping in to see what's going on I just show up to dump damage unless on rare occasion I am interested in helping someone win the round.
Gee, I'm a boring player!
I will take "admins should hire you" as a compliment.. 😃
Anyway everyone has his own gameplay style, so everyone needs to cut this article on his own shoulders. If you feel that what you do is not boring, then you are not a boring player. The point is: plan your time in this game and once you know how much time you have, use it to enjoy yourself the most.
This is a GREAT article. I am a WANDERER. I have been struggling with this question for weeks. Thanks!
This is a pretty good update long over due and for some to late......
I mean really people we have waited forever to see if we would get the Q6 & Q7 house that never happened so I guess this replaces those buildings.
it was nice to read, besides the content.
pretty article. 😁
I thought houses would be like monopoly/real estate and stuff. It was a let down.
Thanks.
Informative and humorous. No wander you got nearly 2000 subs.
Subbed.
You know what I meant.
I'm nomad and I know it.
