Day 4 Recap

Today after working and training the account has 2052 currency, which is quite a bit. The time has come for me to make my first big purchase: a house. Houses come in five levels, which the game refers to as ‘quality’, players shorten this to Q; so houses are available from Q1 to Q5. Each gives you a boost to your maximum health, and also generates something called “overtime points”, one for each hour your house is activated. This means that for every house you have active, you can work another time every 24 hours.

Tip: Many parties and military units offer discounted or free houses, so check to see if you are eligible before you go any further: you could save some money!

Now most houses are expensive, but a Q1 house is relatively cheap. There is one for sale in the UK at the time this tutorial was made for 1790 currency. Our salary after tax is 2716 currency a week, so it pays for itself and the account would make 926 currency profit just from having the house active. A good deal in other words; but not only do you gain currency, the house will allow you to regenerate energy quicker, and also boosts the total energy I can hold. A Q1 house gives you 2 additional energy regeneration every 6 minutes, and increases your energy bar by 50.

Tip: House prices vary with the market, as do wages. You may earn more or less than at the time of this account, but the relative benefit should remain. Q1 houses are always useful to have. Other quality houses generally are not worth it as a new account: they are mainly used to improve the amount of energy storage. Older players use this benefit to help get medals for getting the most damage in a battle (Battle Hero medal)

Using your house

To use your house go to your storage (My places -> Storage). The game does have shortcuts to make this quicker, so on any eRepublik page, when I hold down shift and S, it will take me to my storage automatically. You will know that your shortcut has worked, when the prompt comes up confirming it. You can see the full list of shortcuts on This page.

Tip:: be aware that not all of the wiki is as up to date as this walk through. Ask someone before you trust information from here

When you hover over the house it shows the benefits, and a little power sign. Click the sign enter activation mode, then click the green arrow to activate the house. This methodology can be used with other things such as boosters and accelerators: which we won’t use now, but, will be introduced at a later date. All houses last 1 week and will give you slightly more energy regeneration, a boost to your total energy and the overtime points as previously discussed.
