Hello Danes,

This is the second of several articles that, together, will create the official (Danish) eRep's Guide. My main goal when I developed this project was to teach new players the possibilities they'll have on this game, teach them some tips and keep new Danes with us. HERE you can see the project published at the forum.





LEARNING ABOUT ENERGY/STAMINA



This is your Enegy/Stamina Box


1. Energy/Stamina Bar (Shows you how many energy points do you have);
2. Recover Button (This is the button to recover your energy, consuming food or Energy Bars);
3. Recoverable Energy per Time (Shows you how many energy points you can recover, consuming food or Energy Bars per 6 - six - minutes);
4. Countdown (The countdown time to recover 10 energy points).


WHY DO I NEED ENERGY?

Energy is needed for 3 (three) things on eRepublik:


To Work



Every time you work you spend energy points. If you don't have energy points you can't work.

To Train



Every time you train you spend energy points. If you don't have energy points you can't train.

To Fight



Every time you fight you spend energy points (per hits). If you don't have energy points you can't fight.


RECOVERING ENERGY

To recover your energy points you have 3 (three) manual options and 1 (one) automatic option. I'll explain you next:


Eating Food


Eating food is a manual option to recover your energy points. There are 7 (seven) kinds of food (Q1, Q2, ..., Q7). The picture above tell us how many energy points each food can recover. This option is (or can be) limited by Countdown (Number 4 - four - of the first picture of this article).

There are two ways to obtain foods. The first one is to work on your food companies (at MY PLACES > COMPANIES - When you start playing eRepublik you have, initially, one Food Factory). To produce food you'll need food raw. The second one is to buy food (at MARKET > MARKETPLACE). If you have some look, there are peoples that can donate food to you.


Energy Bars



Energy Bars can recover 100 (a hundred) energy points. Every time you complete your daily order or you grow your military rank you obtain one energy bar. You can also buy energy bars using real life money or fighting on weakly challanges.


Aid Kits



Aid Kits can recover 10 (ten) energy points for the cost of 0.5 Golds. Can be bought during the fights or at GOLD & EXTRAS.


Level Changing



Every time you change your level (Ex. lvl 10 to lvl 11) you recover, automatically, all your energy points.


YOUR ENERGY LIMITS

The Energy Limits depends of many things. The first one is your level.

Since level 1 (one) until level 21 (twenty-one) your energy limit upgrades 20 (twenty) energy points. At level 21 you stop upgrading energy limits by level. For exemple:

> At level 1 (one), energy limit is 100 (a hundred);
> At level 2 (two), energy limit is 120 (one hundred and twenty);
> At level 12 (twelve), energy limit is 320 (three hundred and twenty);
> At level 21 (twenty-one), energy limit is 500 (five hundred).

After level 21 (twenty-one) you can only upgrade you energy limits buying energy centers, that can be found at MY PLACES > ADVANCED BUILDINGS. They have some Gold costs.


This energy center costs 100 Golds and expands 50 energy limit


This energy center costs 200 Golds and expands 100 energy limit

P.s.: There are often some promotions to build these buildings. So, if you want them, wait the promotion.





IMPORTANT TIPS



1. Don't use Aid Kits. They costs money, and you have other better ways to recover your energy points, so don't use;

2. If you have less energy points, but you are near to change your level don't recover your energy using food or energy bars, because when you change your level you will have you energy totally recovered.

3. Save your energy bars. Don't spend them on shits. Save them to fight at important battles and to catch Battle Hero's Medals.
