THIS THREAD IS FOR ANYONE THAT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO POWER TRAIN!!!  or would like a few pointers on how to write an effective tutorial in English.

DISCLAIMER : 

This power training method is very dangerous and can cost you millions if you do not follow these steps in the correct order and timeline!  In other words - When Chuck Norris tells you how to do something, he does so without giving a flying f#@& whether or not you decide to follow directions.  So you may want to read ALL of this before you even consider purchasing (or begging for) the necessary power train paraphernalia.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR A SINGLE POWER TRAIN:

#1 - A clean bill of health with no TRACE of addiction

#2 - 3 to 4 Xanax (I'll explain)

#3 - 4 to 8 eDVDs (I'll explain)

#4 - 1 Ecstasy

#5 - 25 Points (energy refill)

#6 - time and patience... It is absolutely worth the wait!

 

Begin with "stacking" Xanax...

Xanax gives you 250 energy and a drug cool down time of several hours.  Maximum energy you can stack to is 1000.  So, if you are at zero energy, you can exactly meet the max with 4 Xanax.  I call this the Texas Ranger work out.  Or you can start from a full energy bar and reach 850 to 900 energy (donators) with 3 Xanax, saving you 7 or so hours of drug cool down time.  We will call this the Jr. Ranger work out. 

Only take 1 at a time!  After your drug cool down has ended, then you can go ahead and take the second Xanax... cool down... third Xanax... cool down... and finish with the 4th Xanax and relax until your last drug cool down is completely over.

You have now stacked energy for a single power train.  At this point some people think it's good to sit on your stacked energy for a day to reduce the chances of an overdose from the Ecstasy.  I personally do not know if this is true.  If you feel the need to wait, then by all means - go polish your badge (or Jr. badge) and play a game of poker or shoot yourself in the foot...

These next steps must be done quickly AND at the right time of the hour.  ANY and ALL extra happiness gains reset every 15 minutes (on the hour, the 15, 30, and 45 of every hour).  If this next stage is not done back to back or you start it at something like 13 minutes or 43 minutes past the hour, that only gives you 2 minutes to complete and you risk the chance of not getting to the gym in time to use all your energy while you have massive amounts of happiness (which is the key to gigantic gym gains).  Once you get the hang of how this works, you really only need a couple minutes (at least for all you satellite internet users, like me).  For those who have a real internet connection,  I'm sure you can get these steps done in a matter of seconds:

The standard Booster cool down maximum is 24 hours.  4 Erotic DVDs watched back to back will put you right a the 24 hour mark.  However, my faction increases the booster cool down max to 48 hours!  This means if you have this faction upgrade, and you've got em, watch 8 eDVDs back to back and you will gain twice as much happiness!  This will also save you over 3 mil worth of Xanax and Ecstasy that you would have otherwise spent for two 4 eDVD power trains...

Each eDVD will boost your happiness, giving you 3,250 (i think...) happy per dvd, ultimately giving you something like 26,000 happiness after 8 DVDs.  Then you immediately take 1 Ecstasy.  This will DOUBLE whatever your current happiness is.  Then you immediately go to the gym, pick one of your stats and put in "999" (this basically says "use all energy") and click train.  Then, immediately go to the points building page and use your 25 points to refill your energy bar for an extra gym train with your insane happiness before your boost timer runs out.

When all is said and done - executing a Texas Ranger power train boosted with 8 eDVDs, you will have gained tens of thousands in what ever stat you chose to train.  I am currently gaining around 30k each time at my gym.  I do however only live in a Palace...  There are several variables that will have an affect on your overall happiness peek and gym gains per train...  Job, current gym, faction bonuses, etc...  Many of you I'm sure are able to achieve much higher gains than I...  But I'll get there, I hope... I am still using training wheels...

That's it!  Rest for a few days and start again.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Do not start stacking for a power train if you have just gone through rehab!!!!!  Your chances of overdosing are much higher right after rehab which will effectively cost you tens of millions of dollars worth of power training items and days of waisted effort.

not-so-important note:  The Texas Ranger power train will increase your chances of developing an addiction significantly.  Train at your own risk.

Oh and one last thing - There will ALWAYS be a chance of OD-ing after any drug,  even if you execute this PT method perfectly with ZERO trace of addiction!  Just hope it doesn't happen when you take the ecstacy...  So I don't want any cry-baby f#@&-faces jumping on here all up in arms because they OD'd and lost millions... Expect it... It WILL happen to you at some point, multiple times most likely...  Or it may not...  In which case, you are either one of the luckiest Torn citizens, or you have never taken any drugs in Torn.  Either of which would be amazing if your battle stats were in the millions...  and if you have read what I have to say thus far - it may be clear to you - the "Duke" of Texas may not be the most awesome at Torn... and... I may not be the sharpest tool in the... *sigh*... tool holding thingy!  But I can round house the shit out of anything you can think of... just ask me!

Thanks for the info to those who filled me in on poker 2.0.  I searched the forums and I didn't see anything like that.  Apologies if I wasted anyone's time. 

Looking for employment in a 10* grocery store.  Daily player.

LOL you blocked him, sweet heart...  but a valiant effort to save face!!!

Yuwego - Promoted for an amazing derail and back-pedal!!!  Well done good sir!

@Yuwego  -  wow lvl 5?  It is apparent you definitely know what you are talking about... not to mention the vast time and experience which clearly proves you absolutely have the ability to spot when a faction is "obviously cheating"...  If it's not to much trouble for you,  would you mind giving us all some pointers?

Anyone happen to know when 2.0 will be up and running?

I did not know that!  Awesome!

Thanks for the info to those who filled me in on poker 2.0.  I searched the forums and I didn't see anything like that.  Apologies if I wasted anyone's time. 

I'm looking for a peaceful faction with perks that improve training.  Would really prefer it to have 48 hour booster cool down.

Daily player

Always home for faction crimes

PM for more info.

Thanks for your consideration.

I don't think it is my faction bonus, because it was the same when I was not in a faction...

@THELAMIA - Very interesting, thank you! I am still just scraping the surface in the Torn world...

Very true... You are wise in the ways of Torn... well done. Keep in mind - Torn is still accepting new players on a daily basis. Just trying to help.

You might be right about the standard happy per eDVD. However, 3,250 is what I have always gained no matter what job I have had... Maybe there is some other variable that is contributing to my happy gains... The Adult Novelties bonus gives you +100% for eDVDs once the company reaches 10*... MY company has not reached 10 yet... can't wait! I will gain 6,500 happy per eDVD. That, plus my factions cool down bonus of 48 hours... BAM!

I thought it would help some lower level new people... And I had a hard time finding any power training threads when doing a general search. Of the threads I could find open to the public, NONE of them were explained in detail or with proper English. So I thought I would make one... Just having fun.
