Warning: Some aspects of this guide maybe outdated.. However most of it hasn't changed. I will update it soon.



A guide used for referencing to!

Now, why?



Now level 15 opens up a vast amount of doors for your game play, and almost everything is unlocked and is available to you, but most importantly you can travel. (Which will lead me to the next subject)



I do advise you get to level 15 as soon as possible. ( I done it in 4 days )

Different attacks give different experience, leaving gives the most, while mugging gives the least. Every level you go up, you need more and more experience to reach the next one. There is only 1 way to see your Experience progress, flying to china and seeing the fortune teller, but that requires level 15. - Wevie [2088902]


Here are some levelling targets!



Baldr's Levelling targets

How do you travel and earn cash?



So basically, there are many routes you can take, Plushie trading, Flower trading Flash Grenades (You get my point).



Plushies and flowers have around 11 -13 items each which if you collect a full set can be traded for points (Required to unlock museum done so from education History)



But people will buy full sets from you so you can trade to those people for a nice profit!



With cash it gives you a ability to buy Xanax and Erotic DVD's to happy jump! (Which you guessed it takes me to our next step).

I would like to spend some time in this category, i feel this is the most important factor in torn.



I have spent my whole time in torn training, i didn't partake in events that require Energy.



As we or you are now aware energy is the main source to gaining stats, and what we have here is a prophecy.



We now put ourselves in a position to use the right training methods to benefit from as much aspects we can!



You do need to factor in that usually you can get genuinely 720 Natural Energy Daily, with energy refill & 3 x Xanax you could add an extra 900 Energy landing yourselves with 1620 Energy to use in the gym, a lot of Energy huh?.



My time in torn has shown me timing is key!



When you start torn and you have nub stats, there is an important and most suitable training method to follow, We call in happy jumping ( Some other newb names also), this will be explained more in another guide which i will link below!



daCampa - on the training part, is it worth mentioning the poison mistletoe? it's the most expensive method, but poisoning someone who's using an happy book and then munching FHC is even better than the regular happy jumps



Well actually yes So a copy and paste works :P


Stat cap explained!




Each stat has a hard cap of 50 million, so gym gains wont be exponential like there were before the cap.



Basically up to the cap your gains get better the higher the stat is, at stat cap the gains do not increase anymore!





Lets categorise each stat now.



Strength - Damage you make on impact.



Speed - Chance of hitting opponent.



Defense - Ability to withstand damage.



Dexterity - Ability to evade an attack.



There are a bunch of stances you can take here, Balanced stats, 3 way balanced stats & more, Personally i am more leaning on balanced stats as i feel it is more effective but some agree and some disagree but its all down to your style of game play.



Some stats are mitigated and reduced in attacking with certain temporary items.



Tear gas - Reduces Dexterity by 75%



Smoke grenade - Reduces Speed by 75%



Pepper spray - Reduces Dexterity by 90%



Flash grenade - Reduces Speed by 90%



The same effects applies whilst defending an attack!





So it is now down to you to decipher which path you take!





There are other aspects to training that can increase your exponential gains,



The gym you are in, as you progress through the gyms the quality of them rises, some suit a certain stat more than others. you should make sure you are training the right stat in the right gym.

The edge, 7th unlock-able gym in heavy weight.





As you can see speed gains are best to use in this gym.



[image: cdn.discordapp.com]



Last round, 6th gym in Heavy weight.





and here in last round defense is the best to train.





Faction steadfast, as a faction we provide 10% + on all gym gains. this is why we do regular chaining to improve perks like this one.



Education (Sports science), These course also add extra gym gains, an extra 2% in all gains after completion.



Properties, a Private island gives you and extra 2% on gains, if you add a Shooting Range.



[image: cdn.discordapp.com]



Companies, 10* Ladies Strip Club 10% defense gains, 10* Gents Strip Club 10% dexterity gains and Fitness Center all gym gains by 3%. If you are in a Fitness center i do advise staying till you atleast cap str, and save all your job points.

Happy jumps




[image: cdn.discordapp.com][image: cdn.discordapp.com][image: cdn.discordapp.com]



Items required : 3x Xanax, 5x Erotic DVD, 1x Ecstasy & 25x Points (approx $25m, per 30 - 35 hours)



This method requires the use of your booster cool down, so it is subject to how much booster cool down your faction has!.



If more, use more Erotic DVD's to fill and use the same process.



(Also this method will not use any natural Energy as you will be stacking)



[image: cdn.discordapp.com]



Step 1,



Munch on Xanax and repeat this until you have 900 Energy,



[image: cdn.discordapp.com]



Step 2,



Wait until your drug cool down has gone, and then on new happy regeneration ( every 15 mins ), Take all the Erotic DVD's you can, Subject to faction booster limit.



Step 3,



Within the happy time bracket, take your ecstasy, And then train your energy.



Step 4,



Refill your energy with the 25 points, and train your Energy again.



Step 5,



Wait for cool downs to reach 0, and repeat the process, watch your drug addiction as its possible to get kicked from education.




Basic training




[image: cdn.discordapp.com]



Items required, 3x Xanax, 25x Points (Approx 4.5m per day)



Step 1,



With your 150 Energy, take 1x Xanax, and then head to the gym and train it.



Step 2,



Use your 25x Points refill, then head to the gym and train your Energy.



Step 3,



After Xanax cools down, repeat step 1 throughout the day!



(watch your drug addiction as its possible to get kicked from education.)



Also as boosters are not being used, its a great time to use candies to boost happy or beer for extra nerve!

Energy is a major aspect in Torn's game play, and no matter what the use, it just never is enough. While all players start with 100 energy bar, which regenerates 5 energy every 15 minutes. Just by buying a Donator pack or becoming a subscriber to Torn can give you 50% more energy, it will in crease your energy bar to 150, and regenerates 5 Energy every 10 minutes.



As energy is a key factor in training stats, some people would coherently maximise gains by using other energy enhancing items.

Restaurants, Pubs, Grocery Stores & Furniture Company, 210 Energy per week.



Candle shop & Game shop, 350 Energy per week.



Farm, 490 Energy per week.





Common question, What is better FHC's or Cans?

Well firstly, that depends on your faction's perks. Voracity is a perk that increases the energy received when drinking cans.

So FHC's are best for gains, more energy per day and Cans are better for cost!


Based on 24hr Booster Cooldown

FHC - $14.7m each | 6 hours CD | 4 x daily | total $58.8m | total 600 Energy gain | $98,000 per 1 E

Cans - $3.4m each | 2 hours CD | 12 x daily | total $40.8m | total 540 Energy gain | $75,555 per 1 E

How can you maximise respect gains?



Okay so there are many different ways to do this, our favourite is FAKE territory wars this gives a great boost! but ill list them below and give you some stats on each.



Fair fight bonus - it is applied to every attack! If you attack someone with half the stats as your own or higher, you will receive a 3x multiplier on your hit. so in effect you are turning a basic 1.2 - 1.5 gain to a 3.6 - 4-5 gain.



Group attacks - Now this also provides good respect when planned! Now ideally you need to be equipping the right temps so you can make the hit first time. any more then the respect / energy cost becomes irrelevant and is not really worth it! I would advise leaving this one out.



Territory wall hits - Now this is the best way, if you can get the right member on the wall you can get 10 - 15 respect per wall hit. *BUT* any hit of the wall will land you a 6 respect at base minimum. and to be precise youll get a 3x fair fight bonus and the 2x war bonus making it a total of 6x. So this is the method we advise you to use!



Retaliations - Retals can give HUGE bonuses, but on a grey scale its only 1.5x, but keep checking and liaise with other members to get them.

Proxima says - 



You should be generally looking to Leave an opponent. Mugging applies a 0.75x bonus (in other words, a 25% reduction). While Hosping gives you the same respect leaving would, if you find a target that gives good experience or respect gains, you want them to be out of hospital as soon as possible, as the respect earned from hitting the same target multiple times does not depreciate. 



 



This is great advice and i strongly agree with it!

Even though I'm above of 15 and have been for a while, this guide still have me help on how to gain the best respect on chaining! I had no idea retaliation even gave added respect on attack.

10* candle shop shows true level as well. (Handy for level holders)

10* adult novelty is fantastic for happy jumping, doubling happy gains from Erotic DVDs, as well as a free DVD every 2 days
