The purpose of this guide is to help new players achieve their first 55 Merits with little reliance upon other players and without costing large sums of money. 59 Merits have been included as some will be easier than others. It is likely some will find merits which are not on this list to be easier to achieve than some which are on this list. The reason behind choosing some merits over others was to allow the player to have the most flow, with the least cost in terms of either TCD, time, energy or some combination of the 3. This is why for example you will only find one casino merit, they may all be relatively easy, but are difficult to pursue at the same time. The new honor 10-stack, granted when a player increases a merit upgrade to its maximum will be achievable by following this guide.
