What Oh What To Buy

Who here loves gold? It’s so sparkly and shiny and we all just can’t help but hoard it like leprechauns. But there are some things that gold should be spent on which will both increase the amount of fun you will have in the game, as well as make it much faster to get MORE gold. So here is a little guide (mostly for newer players) but I still hope you enjoy it.
First let’s begin by finding out exactly how much gold you have at any given time:
Surely this is a very familiar display for you all it shows many things but lets focus in on the thing that we all care the most about, shall we?
There that’s better, as you can see I have obtained a meager amount of gold, there are a few things that I can do with it, and some are good ideas and others not so much. For one I can trade it in for CC (AUD) at the MONETARY MARKET for whatever the going rate is for gold at the time. I could also invest in a newspaper (obviously I already have) but when you begin I believe the most important thing to do is upgrade these
These are perhaps the most important buildings in erepublik, they are called TRAINING CENTERS and you increase your strength in them (duh) the great thing is, is that after every 250 strength points you get 5 gold! So the faster you upgrade these the better! Also ALWAYS use the .19 G one it will cost but you will get up to 50 faster, and it will give you more than you spent to get there! Now let’s get to the one thing nobody should spend gold on!
Yes friends, it is the infamous first aid box! It will restore a small but of heath for the high price of just .5 gold! Now I know when you’re fighting, and you run out of food how hard it is too not push that button. We have all been there but please for the love of Australia don’t do it! It is perhaps the biggest waste of gold to ever be gold on the market and I guarantee you will regret it down the line! If you feel like you HAVE to go buy some energy bars they fill up 100 heath and are a much better value!

good job
So true
If you can manage to get the 1st 3 training centres to Q4 then you will actually make/gain gold (utilising the 5 gold from Hard Worker Medal) at 51.7 strength a day, that's called self sufficiency that will give you an edge over the majority of players.
Or just be cool and do the 90 str a day one. 🙂
Its a good guide for spending the gold, but my question is how do I get that 273 gold without spending $100 on it? im spending my AUD on food and weapons for fighting for eAustralia, not leaving much for gold gathering, shoud i just stop fighting to build up some money first to upgrade training centers or is there an easier way?
Photoshop is an amazing thing 😛 u didn't think i would really let every 1 know how much gold and money i have do you 😉...you are in the ADF so in theory you should get the ssupplies needed to fight as well as the .19 foe the training...i would message Majester and ask him about what you need to do etc.
Yes, I will send Majester a message about it, when I joined the ADF I was told to join auserepublik.com forums and apply to the aus citizen group, that process has taken a week to be approved (far too long imo), so hopefully now I can get the needed supplies to get going.
IDK why it takes so long for them to check that stuff out it took me 3-4 days to get it approved, thats why i make it a point to check the member group requests for the ACP twice a day...just in case lol...
lol i dnt know how many times i wasted gold on those furken healthpacks in the first few weeks of my playing this game, i shake my head thinking about it now.
same here!
273 gold a meagre amount, hell that is an absolute fortune, I have less than 2 gold, at the rate I'm going I won't have 273 gold till the year 2016
Gold is a fickle mistress, and the amount you have will vary greatly. When the Aussie market was "strong" (read, shit was cheap), I was giving away 10 - 20 gold per week, and spending another 40 - 50 helping aus, and still making more without even trying (I still don't know how). These days, it's not so easy, there isn't the same abundance of weapons and food etc, but that will change - admin will make sure of that.
In addition, in the lower 3 divisions gold is rather more plentiful than d4, it may not seem it, but upgrading those 4 training centers will earn you more than just your daily income - BH medals and ideally TP medals abound.
As for how to make it, it's a lot like real life - a lot of little things will bring in a decent stream. I've done everything from importing and selling goods, to playing the monetary market, to trading companies (a long, long time ago). In the end, it's a case of time == money, spend the time and you'll get the money, but really, there are more interesting things to do.
LOL whats more interesting than money. Thanks for that mate, very much appreciated. Oh, by the way, what are these more interesting things to do ?
Y'know, anything that doesn't involve you sitting infront of eRep for hours on end 😃
lol. fair enough.
photoshop is your friend lolololol
I SMELL CROP AND EDIT!
no being rude or anything, but if you multiply .5x10=5 Same exact price as an energy bar, but it takes more time. Anyway, Great article!
if you notice, energy bars get cheaper as you buy more, so buying a larger amount fo bars works out cheaper. As most people dont just buy one energy pack
