You can earn gold just by learning the game (the quizzes)

Okay so this is maybe the first really useful thing I learned in this game, and I want to tell the new people because I almost completely missed it. You can actually earn gold just by reading and learning. I was not knowing this for a while and I feel a little stupid now, so let me save you the same time. In the game there is a handbook and a school part where the game explains how everything works. I thought it was only boring text that nobody reads. But after some of those lessons there is a small quiz, some questions about what you just read. And here is the good part, when you answer the questions correct, you get a little gold for it. Free gold, just for knowing the answer. For a beginner this is honestly a big deal. In the start you have almost no gold, like really almost zero, and gold is the premium money that is hard to get. So even a small amount from a quiz feels like a real beginning. It is not going to make you rich, I want to be honest, the amount per quiz is small. But it is free and it adds up, and you are not spending anything to get it, only some minutes of your time. My tip is very simple, actually read the handbook before you try the quiz. The answers are all there in the text. If you just guess fast you will get some wrong and miss the gold, and also you learn nothing. But if you read first, you get the gold and you also understand the game better, which for me was the bigger prize in the end. A lot of my early mistakes happened only because I did not read, I was just clicking buttons and hoping. One more thing that I did not realize at first, the questions are not only in one single place. There is the handbook, but the help and faq area also has its own questions, so there is more of this than you think when you first look around. I did not find all of it in one day. What I started to do is, when I had a few free minutes but not much energy left for normal actions, I would go and answer a few questions calmly. Slowly the gold was adding up, and the best part is I was learning the game at the same time, instead of just sitting and waiting for my energy bar to refill. It became my little habit for the quiet moments. So the way I see it now, the quizzes give you two things at the same time. They give you your first small pile of gold, and they teach you the systems so you stop making the silly beginner mistakes that cost you much more than the quiz gold is worth. That is a very good deal for a new player with no money. If you just registered and you are reading this in the community, my honest advice is go and do the lessons and the quizzes first, before anything else. Get that early gold, learn how the town and the energy and the market work, and then start playing for real with a little bit of money already in your pocket and a little bit of knowledge in your head. I wish I did it in that order. Good luck and read everything, it pays.
