Becoming elite is difficult for most people. It took me 5 months to become elite, but with this guide, I know you'll be faster than me! :)

• Do jobs whenever you get a Job Agency Power Card! This was hard for me at first because I sold every card I got, and when I was 3 months into the game, I had only done one job! Sure, I had a lot of money, but almost no powerbucks. So I thought to myself, "Something is very wrong here." I started to do jobs whenever I got the chance, and it paid off. In 3 more months I was elite.
• Do the same thing with armor as I told you to do with jobs. It really pays off to work hard. Sometimes it means spending money, but it's worth it in the end.
• Reading the Elder Scrolls is easy. It's easiest for most people to buy them all at once in one swap. They cost about 45k-70k altogether. After you save enough money, you can buy them. Put them in your bookshelf. Read and rate them all too. Don't forget to rate them, because if you don't, it doesn't count.
• Voting in the poll booth takes nothing but your opinion. You go to the poll booth in Xiang Chung-Shi, click on a question, and vote.
• Getting your shop size to 100 is easy, though it takes about 3,000 once you save up enough money just click edit by the shop that you want to extend the size on and click where it says "Click Here" in the blue.
• Hatching a mini was tough for me. Buying a egg costs a lot of money, but buying the full puzzle is even more costly. If you want to collect the entire evolutions puzzle, and give it to the rickshaw driver,  go for it. As soon as you get an egg, put it in the evolutions building in East New Barkston. Make sure you have 5-8 days available to check on your egg. Check on it every day.

I hope that helps you become elite!
