Which WRM company is better to invest?

Dear All,

There are a few ways to make money in erepublik. 1) Investment & Business 2) Monetary Market 3) Trading - Reselling

I will explain what I understand about starting companies and which one to invest on. I am going to compare the different Weapon Raw Material (WRM) companies. Why WRM?

Let me explain. If not for Q6 Q7, Food & Weapon companies dont make you a profit. Even if they do, the profit margin is too low. The only hot selling stuff in our market and world market is WRM. I will be comparing Q3 - Q5 WRM companies, their cost of investment, production etc.

This may not sound appropriate for CC users and users who have other *__* ways of making gold, cc.

I will also be comparing gold with CC in my comparisons below. 1g = 349 cc and 1 cc = 0.003g. So I will take the mid market rate which is 1g = 341 cc (1/2 of 349+333)


1) Aluminium Mine - Cost 10g - (3410 cc)



Basic Productivity = 125 WRM
Productivity at 60% = 200 WRM

2) Saltpeter Mine - 8500 cc - (24.92 g) (*8500 / 341 = 24.92g😉



Basic Productivity = 175 WRM
Productivity at 60% = 280 WRM


3) Rubber Plantation - Cost 35g - (11935 cc)



Basic Productivity = 250 WRM
Productivity at 60% = 400 WRM


So comparing all the 3, which one is better?

200 WRM - 10g (3410 cc) Vs 280 WRM - 25g (8500 cc) Vs 400 WRM - 35g (11935 cc) ?


WRM's are sold at 0.08 cc these days nominally. So a days' work will mean

1) Aluminium Mine - 200 x 0.08 = 16 cc extra revenue a day
ROI - Return of Investment
3410 / 16 = 213.12 days

2) Saltpeter Mine - 280 x 0.08 = 22.4 cc extra revenue a day
ROI - Return of Investment
8500 / 22.4 = 379.46 days

3) Rubber Plantation - 400 x 0.08 = 32 cc extra revenue a day
ROI - Return of Investment
11935 / 32 = 372 days

If you see, ROI on Aluminium mine takes about 210 days while Saltpeter and Rubber takes about a year which means investing on Saltpeter & Rubber is almost the same.

Over a period of time, lets say a few months, fighting will become more important than working as you will start to focus on rank. That is when having less companies but more production / revenue will come in handy.

My suggestion is Q5 WRM aka Rubber Plantation as it will get you a 32 CC increase for everyday's work. Even though the ROI is about a year, it will come in handy when you rank up towards becoming a tank. You do not want to work on 20-30 odd Q3 companies but just 10-15 of the Q5 ones and still do about 15 extra fights a day. Also, if you employ someone in your Q5 WRM, you can still produce 32 CC if in case you plan to employ few friends. That will not be the case in the other 2 WRM companies.

Depending on your play style, you may chose to open the 10g WRM co. which is purely your choice. But if you ask me, RUBBER PLANTATION FTW.

Investment is the only way to be Self-sufficient.
