First of all, welcome! As a new or returning player, there are many things that you need to daily that can easily overwhelm you.
Secondly, These directions are for mobile players
1) War
Leave it until Above lev 20
2) Economy
If you want moneyy, Finish as many quests as quickly as possible to upgrade to level 7 first. Once you unlock the trade feature, look at the market. If you want to take a gamble, buy boxes. If you want to develop well, try to focus on limestone, concrete, iron and steel. This can be later used to build companies and allow people to work for you.
3) Companies/Factories
If you go to the bottom right hand side of your screen, you will see companies. Understanding how your first company works can be pretty hard. Make sure you change the resource you produce to limestone. Then simply press produce until you can't work for yourself anymore. You will then create the item out of thin air. The thing that you just used to produce is called entrepreneurship. You generate it to max every 10h, so remember to keep checking it.
If you want to work for someone, simply look for a job. You want the highest paying one at the beginning stage. Similar to working for yourself, you use energy to work. After you click work, you automatically get some money for your hard work! You can also keep track of entrepreneurship and energy centered at the top of your screen.
4) Inventory
If you go to you bottom left hand side, you will see inventory. In you inventory, you will see heaps of stuff. Crates, food, stuff you produce like iron and weapons. You can keep track of the four key resources we talked about earlier. If you gambled for crates, here is where you open them.
For your weapons, equip only common (grey) rarities. If you get green, blue, purple, yellow or red, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you sell them at the market at a decent price. You can check prices that others are selling and adjust to it.
5) Market
Located on the bottom tab near companies, you will see the market. You can only sell and buy stuff after you reach level 7. You can sell you weapons here or buy materials that you need for your companies. Don't buy items for a high price. Make sure to check what others are selling for and then make a decision. For those of you who know a bit about stock market, check the graph and sell at the peak (usually war times).
6) Skills
Located when you click you level at the top left hand side of your screen, you can select your skills. Make sure to select the ones near the bottom that upgrade your energy, entrepreneurship and production points. This allows you to develop quicker and wait less. After you reach the stage where you unlock your third company and want to create your fourth, then you go to the bottom and expand a company so you can unlock your fourth.
7) Have Fun
We have an insanely strong community. If you don't understand something, feel free to ask. Its recommended you join War Era's discord server because you will get a quicker response. You can also chat to everyone in game by clicking the war button twice and it will be on your left hand side.
