Energy is king in this game; Everything related to combat in TORN relies on Energy, from leaving people on the streets for EXP to building up your combat stats in the Gym to take on stronger players to pulling people …
Xanax are a cheap source of energy. Most of the population take multiple Xanax every day for the energy.
(250 energy for under 1m is very cheap)
There is a small chance of overdosing when taking them.
The ones you see in hospital are the ones who overdosed recently.
Energy is king in this game; Everything related to combat in TORN relies on Energy, from leaving people on the streets for EXP to building up your combat stats in the Gym to take on stronger players to pulling people out of the hospital by reviving them. Beyond the natural regen you get on timers, there are multiple ways to get more to use: Daily refills (100/150E per day with points), using various items that use up your Item Booster (Can/Eggs/Coupons), various company perks, and select drugs (That use their own unique cooldown).
Xanax is an incredibly popular drug because it provides a ton of Energy (250E) every 6-8 hours with an average of a 2% OD chance (With faction perks). At 800-850k per xanax, it's the cheapest possible way to get potentially 1000 extra Energy per day. Even with the consequences of drug addiction and rehab costs, there's no other way to get that sort of boost for the same price.
Ergo, anyone who really wants to build their account and take part in a lot of attacking will be taking Xanax around the clock to get as much done as possible per day. So naturally you'll find loads of people in the hospital ODing on it even despite the low chances.
Makes sense. How about nerve?
More or less the same deal as Energy, except your Nerve bar will slowly and steadily increase in capacity as you gain more Crime Experience (CE) and improve across the various crimes you can do in the game. There's no upper bound to this, though getting a really high nerve bar will take years of constant work as well as utilizing faction perks.
Nerve can be refilled to your bar's limit once per day with points; alcohol will use your Item Booster timer in exchange for Nerve, the amount you get depending on faction perks and the type of alcohol you drink; Various company perks will let you exchange job points for Nerve; Red easter eggs will provide +250 Nerve when used, but those are event only drops once a year; Lastly, drugs like Cannabis and LSD will provide nerve when used.
"Cheap" lol
You'll eventually come to see it as cheap for what it does.
it's save to take every day 2-3 xanax?
Just take as many as you can. Chance to overdose is only about 2%. Don't let your withdrawal get too big or you can get kicked of education and your job employer won't like it. But you can just rehab in switserland
Probably because they are a cheap fake copy of Xanax, made in a wash tub in some third world rubbish dump, or lab (it's hard to tell them apart). Do not take Zanex. Buy and use Xanax instead. You might still overdose but at least you overdosed on the real thing, not some fentanyl based knock-off.
