Join the new world

If you are a new player to the game, first of all welcome to eRepublik and welcome to the eUS! The focus of these articles is to give you access to both information and resources that can help make your first few weeks in the game easier and more enjoyable.

The first thing you should know is that the United States has an official message board outside of the game. On this you will find a section called "Welcoming Committee" where you can ask any questions that you have and get help if you should need it. This is also where a large portion of our community meets to discuss current events in the game, game mechanics, and just talk in general. You can these forums by clicking this link: The official United States Forum for eRepublik.

Another important place you can check for information is the eRepublik Wikipedia site. You can find this here: eRepublik Wikipedia. On that site, you will find a large part of the information you will need to learn how to play the game. A few key articles from the Wikipedia are:
Experience and Features
Work
Food
Train
Fight

You can also check out the eRepublik Infohub located at Infohub

These will teach you the basics of the game and help you to get off on the right foot.

You should also know that the eUS government has programs that can help you should you need it.

This edition's educational focus is on "Your First 6 days". Thanks for this article goes out to the Department of Education.

The Basics.
eRepublik is an online game where you can follow your political, economic or military aspirations and change the course of history. In order to unlock features in eRepublik, you will need a certain number of experience points. That’s to say, in order to fight, vote, or join a party, you will need to gain experience points. Every day you eat (eating no longer gives XP, only wellness), work, train, and/or fight, you will gain experience points. An easy way to gain some experience points is to upload an avatar. Additionally, once you get your first job, you will gain experience points.

The First Week


Day 1


Upload An Avatar
Find any .jpg picture and upload it on your profile.

If you have no pictures available, save the current avatar picture and upload that. It may be cheap but it works. This is really the only way to personalize your citizen.

You Are Now: Level 1; 2 XP; 50 Wellness Points

Get A Job
Get your first job. Under the Market Tab, select the Job Market link and search for a company that hires skill levels 0-0.99 or click here.

Make sure to choose a job at a Q1 company, which is one with only 1 star, or your wellness will drain quickly. Additionally, when you join a job, you have to stay there for at least 72 hours before you can resign. With each day of work, you will earn money and increase your skill. Often higher skill is paid more. Every once in a while, you should check back on the Job Market to see what people with your skill level are earning. Also, it is BLY recommended that you take a job in either the manufacturing field(Hammer and Anvil picture) or the land field(Oil Rig picture) as those are the two most important skill fields to our country’s expansion. The construction is a very limited field and has more than enough workers already than it needs.

You Are Now: Level 1; 7 XP; 50 Wellness Points

LEVEL 2 ACHIEVED! Ability to TRAIN unlocked!

Work
Under the My Places Tab, select the Company link. On that screen, click on the work button in the middle of the page.

You should try to work every single day, as you gain 1 XP each day and are awarded 5 gold for a "Hard Worker medal," earned by working 30 days straight. You will lose wellness points for working. For example, if you work at a one star company, you will lose one wellness point; if you work at a three star company, you will lose three wellness points, etc

You Are Now: Level 1; 8 XP; 49 Wellness Points; 0.5 Job Skill

Train
Under the My Places Tab, select the Army link or click here. On that screen, click on the standard training button, which is the 1st of the 4 blue buttons.

You gain 2 XP from training daily, while only losing 1 wellness point. For every level of 5 strength you will earn the Super Soldier achievement and 5 gold. You will lose one wellness point for training. You will be able to fight once you earn 25 experience points.

You Are Now: Level 2; 10 XP; 48 Wellness Points; 1.5 Strength Private; 0.5 Job Skill

LEVEL 3 ACHIEVED! Ability to MOVE unlocked!

Buy Food
Under the Market Tab, select the Marketplace link and search for food or click here. On that screen, purchase 5 Q1 food.

Just like in real life, your citizen in eRepublik must eat daily in order to survive. Every day, the highest quality piece of food will be removed from your inventory and 'eaten.' So it is important to make sure that you have at least one piece of food in your inventory at the end of every day. You will eat automatically when the next day starts. The United States offers a program called Meals on Wheels that provides free food and tickets to players: http://www.tinyurl.com/moweus
