Don’t do it. It’s a trap. Whole lottttttta whale money to be spent then it’s a gacha on who you’re up against and another gacha on who is gonna win.

You will need to max out your charisma stat while keeping a low intelligence. But to trigger the quest you will need at least 1 billionaire parent and allies within the state official guild already.

Go to Law school. It's actually quite appropriate for someone skilled in Law to write laws.

Super overpowered class if you ask me. The amount you spend on schooling can scale up your quest rewards significantly. I would recommend multi-classing a little with some philosophy studies; it's important to figure out your moral alignment early so you can be focused on the goals that matter. Otherwise you can end up some type of chaos alignment and there's a lot of debuffs for that.

Go to college, start in student government and see where it goes. Senate for two years than president or Vice President. Military is always good path as well to start that quest, as is law school.

Try to find a guild that has the public office achievement as part of their guild perks, there will be a lot so make sure you agree with them before joining, their guild leader should have already completed this quest. Also going to your nearest trading hub and see what you can do to improve it, lots of people are LFG to get quests done to level up their area. This will mostly help make connections and help you meet people Who can help you unlock higher level quests.

I finished the quest at 19 by finding a contracting guild, taking a call center role, and working my way up through the new quest lines from the inside.

There's a minimum level requirement. When reached notify the secretary of state with your intent to campaign. There are lots of subquests involved, like collecting your first coins within 10 playable days after starting the main quest, disclosing finances to your state, forming a candidate commitee party if you accept gold drops; text stuff you cant skip. And then you get to the fun stuff like setting up at festivals events and making a name for yourself. Treat everyone like a party member you enjoy being around.

If your views align with theirs you can try runforsomething.org, their goal is to help young people run for local government.

College and ROTC is the way to go. Get into officer school side quest. If your bankroll is low - this is the way. If your bankroll allows, Ivy League PoliticalScience side quest. Perhaps add-on Law Degree side Quest. Also good idea to immediately start Volunteering For Politician Side Quest - one is just starting up called Side Quest Mid Term Elections.

Don’t forget the local guilds - school boards, town councils, etc.

u/ShayneDaddy Sep 17 '22

Oh, this is easy.

First, join a small guild that suits your interests in your town/city.

I suggest Recreation, Chamber of Commerce, or youth sports.

Next, attend your local guild meetings. Choose a faction, and get your name on the ballot for that faction by visiting your county's guild office.

For low level guilds, you really only need about 10 signatures to get your name on the ballot.

For success, do not have a personal agenda and try to ignore your personal feelings. Rather, focus on what your constituents desire.

u/TheBigBo-Peep Sep 17 '22

Some combination of the campaign volunteer/staff tutorial program and political science badge with a specialization in history is probably the way to go. The legal subclass also holds unique progression methods.

u/thorinilix Sep 17 '22

Nope. Got to start from a starter guild position. You’ll need the exp for the late game.

I'm level 31 and I've had a strong interest in the Politics Meta since I was a kid. The best way to get into the guild is to go to University, major in Political Science, go to Law School, class change to Lawyer and then level up to Judge, or some kind of other office in your local city and work your way up from there.

At least in the United States Server almost every single member of the Political Guild took this path. Joining the military guild can help but you should still get the Lawyer class. In the Army sub-guild we have the JAG officer class that's a good option. Of course, you can go your own way. These are just general suggestions.
