How to fight when spending gold
Pearlswine
So the US is going to war, you have a nice chunk of gold laying around and you want to spend it ranking up. Great. Let me help you help us while helping yourself.
First, lets look at how much gold it costs to achieve each rank.
Ok, first case you're a Trivia Ace, you get every question correct every time.
* rank level 1 : You start here- Private
* rank level 2 : 6 fights, 60 wellness, 12 gold- Corporal
* rank level 3 : 16 fights 160 wellness, 32 gold- Sergeant
* rank level 4 : 31 fights 310 wellness 62 gold- Lieutenant,
* rank level 5 : 61 fights 610 wellness 122 gold- Captain
* rank level 6 : 121 fights 1210 wellness 242 gold- Colonel,
* rank level 7 : 251 fights 2510 wellness 502 gold- General,
* rank level 8 : 501 fights 5010 wellness 1002 gold- Field Marshal
Each fight listed above is a super fight. In order to get a super fight you must answer at least 3/5 questions correctly (there's some disagreement on how many supershots you must get).
Now, in the act of leveling up each trivia question that you miss will cost you 1 gold. So you probably want to study before engaging in a fight.
Alright, so you've decided how much gold to spend. First thing you want to do is move to a region with a Q4 hospital and fight until your wellness is at or just below 60. Now you can use the hospital and a few gifts to bring your wellness up to 100.
Now, since you're spending gold, you're going to want your wellness to be 100 when you start each fight. This will allow you to maximize damage on each hit. So after every fight, spend gold and bring your wellness up to 100.
Next item up is weapon selection. Even if your only goal in this war is to level up (which doesn't require a weapon), you should still use a weapon in each fight. If you are planning on leveling up, but can't afford to purchase weapons, contact chimichonga barbosa, Moishe or your CO if you're in the US military (correct me if I'm wrong here, I haven't spoken to them). They should be able to help get you some Q1 weapons. Fighting with a Q1 weapon will increase your damage by 140% compared to fighting without a weapon.

voted, nice piece, is it possible to go up a rank more than once in a fight?
and just for my dumbness:
rank level 2 : 6 fights, 60 wellness, 12 gold- Corporal
that means i have to fight 6 times, have 60 wellness when finish fighting?? and have spent atleast 12 gold on wellness during the fight?
Sukoidha - no, you have to fight 6 times (with superfights) to get Corporal. That's the only requirement from eRepublik. The rest of what Pearl has listed is how much it'll cost you to get 6 fights.
Since each fight costs at least 10 wellness, that'll be a total wellness cost of 60 (at least). If you want to spend gold to get your wellness back, it'll cost 12 gold to get back to where you were before the fight, assuming hospital/gifts/etc are insignificant.
The fights value means that you need to fight 6 times (a fight is a component of battle, you can level multiple times in a battle), have them all be superfights (>5 points from trivia, 1 point for correct answer, additional point if it's a superfight).
The wellness value is the amount of wellness you'll need to replace with gold if you have a perfect fight (5/5 trivia). You can have any value of wellness when you start or end a fight, it's just best to start at 100 wellness because you'll deal more damage
The 12 gold is the cost to replace the lost wellness with wellness boxes.
