Torn City Guide for Absolute Beginners
First of all this thread is not meant for experienced players, its just for newbie players who are just experiencing their first few weeks in Torn.
Some things that everyone needs to know is about the following. Hopefully this is helpful to some of you.
-Energy
-Nerve
-Happy
-Life Bar
All of these are essential parts of Torn City
-Energy
Energy is a key point of your progress in Torn. Its what helps you attack, increase your battle stats, and much more. Players without the donator status have a max energy bar of 100, and you get 5 back every 15 min. If you have the donator status, then you have max energy of 150, and you get 5 back every 10 min. However, you can go over the 100 or 150 limit by taking a Xanax. Once you go over the max energy limit, the excess energy does not expire until you use it, but if you OD(It is a random chance that you will OD), then you lose all of that energy and you are in the hospital for up to 3-4 days. LSD also happens to increase your energy by 50
-Nerve
Nerve much like energy is another key point in Torn. If you progress it enough, you can get boatloads of cash.
For more info on nerve, look at Nash's Guide to Nerve Bar. You get 1 nerve back every 5 min after you have used it. Like energy, when you go over your max nerve, it doesn't expire, it stays over until you used it.
-Happy
While energy get your battle stats higher, happy gets them higher more effectively. The higher that your happy is, the more gains you get. For example, if you own a shack and you train a stat, your stat may increase by 5 or 10 points. But if you own a Private Island or PI, then that stat may go up 150-200 points in that stat. Your happy regenerates by 5 every 15 min, so if you have 500 happy, and your max is 1500, it may take a while for it to regenerate. To decrease the time it takes for your happy to regenerate, you can do many things, the cheap way to go is to eat a bunch of boxes of chocolate bars. Ecstasy doubles your happy, and Erotic DVD's are much more expensive and increase your happy by a much higher amount.
-Life Bar
Obviously, your life bar shows how much life you have until you have to go to the hospital. When you attack and beat someone, the damage that they dealt to you DOES NOT immediately regenerate after the battle, you have to wait for it to regenerate meaning that you are more susceptible to being attacked and losing until it is full again.
This is guide for beginners who still need some help in the game, and is not intended for players who have a lot of experience playing this game or for people been playing for a long time as I'm guessing that they already know this. If you have any suggestions, comments or constructive criticism, please post below.
Thanks!
