& The job market: under occupation article.


Buying extra Food
So you’ve got a job to earn cash and some companies to create food to replenish your health. Health is used up when fighting, working and training so you may need to buy extra food to do more of these activities. Food you buy is stored in your Storage Building, located in “My Land” until you need to use it.

1. To buy food go to the marketplace. (“Market” on the menu bar up top -> “Marketplace”)
2. Once there select food from the product list (It’s the first choice on the left).
3. Select the loaf of bread furthest to the left

4. You can buy more than one food at a time, just edit the “quantity” box of the food you wish to purchase. Then click “buy”.



Eating Food
Underneath your health (on the left sidebar) is a blue button which reads “Eat Food”. Topping up your health can be done from practically anywhere on erepublik, just click that button and heals you completely (if you have enough food to do so that is!)

If you run out of food then the button will change to a green “Buy Food”. Clicking it brings you to the food marketplace of the country you’re currently located.
Buying Irish while we’re under occupation : Selecting the Marketplace from the dropdown menu of the top navigation bar will always bring you to the marketplace of your citizenship no matter where you are in the eworld when occupied.

Health Limits
You’ll start with the ability to recover 100 health max at any one time.
