If you just started playing WarEra, you probably think money is slow because the game is grindy - it’s not.
Most new players stay poor because they repeat the same mistakes during their first days. WarEra is a strategy + economy + social game, and if you treat it like a simple war clicker, you will lose money without realizing it.

Here are the biggest mistakes beginners make — and how to avoid them.

Mistake #1 — Ignoring daily missions and focus on battles


New players often:
Skip daily missions
Focus on battles
Spend money on food trying to do more battles

What you should actually do:

Always focus on missions first
Change your first company's production type to Concrete
Change company's location to some of recommended - it will give you bonus
Update your companies

Mistake #2 — Spending skills on the fight skills in the beginning


Beginners often pick:
Spend skill points to fight skills, making them hit harder in battles
Spend skills on fight + economy skills - better but still not good
You have 1 skills left, you need to spend it on anything - WRONG, leave it until you have enough skill points for what matters

What to do:

When starting in the game, spend all your skills to economy. In the beginning you can help your country much more by focusing on economy than battles
Upgrade your Entrepreneurship, Energy and Production skills
After few levels, when you need to build your 3rd company, update Companies limit

Mistake #3 — Open cases, save money, eat food


New players love opening cases - that's gambling
Again - eat food to fight more battles
Save all items in inventory

What to do:

SELL, SELL and SELL
Instead of opening case and gamble on what you can get, sell it so that you can buy what you actually need as beginner
Sell all the extra equipment. Save one of each gray ones you have, sell the rest
Leave one case, one bread sell the rest. You leave one of those if you need them for a mission, you sell the rest to buy materials for upgrading/building companies
Save money. It's not that good. Instead of saving it for nothing, spend it on materials needed for your companies

Mistake #4 — Fighting in battles just so you remove "red dot"


You have red number '1' over Battles icon - you need to go and do any battle that's available
You are bored, buy bread and go fighting

What to do:

Check your missions and organize If you have a one mission to fight in two battles - and another mission to make 1300 damages for your country, don't spend an attack just so you finish "Fight in two battles". Instead - wait until there's another battle order from your country/MU so that both attacks counts on your other mission - deal 1300 damage for your country/MU
If you have a daily mission you know or thing you cannot finish, roll the dice, change it once for free
