DISCLAIMER: this is my first thread and it’s specific to a small group of people

You have just created your account and understood some game's mechanics and weighed your priorities - gym gains, level 15, travelling, buying/selling plushies and purchasing stock blocks.

First things first, you want to learn more about the gym gains and how to gain them most efficient. If you are like me, then you don't mind spending a dollar here and there to help sustain the constant gains.

You now look through the best of the best guides and every one of them is telling you to do happy jumps (my favourite one is iribuya's Happy Jump Visual guide).
For example, the most efficient (and still affordable) happy jump is 4 xanax, 5 edvds (or if you are in a faction with booster bonus - 9 edvds), 1 ecstasy and 25 points of energy refill.
That is a total of $19mil (or $30mil with 9edvds) and timeframe ~32 hours.

However, there's a better way when starting out as a new player and getting the most out of the money you are investing for your battle stats:
1. Get into a faction with Toleration and, if possible, Steadfast branches.
Toleration is to reduce the chance of OD and work efficiency and to save money for rehab in general.
Steadfast is to increase at least somewhat your gym gains. It's compulsory and not mandatory for the purpose of this guide.

2. Join a private company who is going to train you as often as possible.
Now, this is very important to gain enough working stats to be able to join a 10* Adult Novelty company. Currently, these companies employ with at least 4k stats each. But even then you will have to buy trains until you can stay with them - ~$500k per train with an obligation to buy 100+ trains.

Now, once you have joined a faction and a company, start using as many xanax as possible and keep that energy at 0 while training at the gym.
While there is the Xanax cooldown, let the natural energy regeneration fill it up and keep using the energy in the gym.
Don't forget to also use the points of energy refill every day. The best way would be to use Xanax + candy + ecstasy jumps with a refill once a day.

After a month or so...

You have gained enough working stats (4k each) to join an Adult Novelty (AN) 10* company and start buying trains.
Once you are three days in the company, you will start gaining a 100% happy bonus for each watched erotic dvd.
And only this is the point when you should start doing the edvd jumps.
NB! Until you are 400-800k battle stats (depending on your faction). After that it's quite pointless to waste the natural energy regen.

What happens now is you have unlocked a very decent gym with much higher return rates than when you started playing this game (and saved money on not buying edvds and ecstasy).
Additionally, you have prioritised your career in the best way to gain as many working stats as fast as possible. This is a big step going long-term.


Good luck and let me know if you need any clarification.

Kind regards,

A suggestion to implement an option to be notified if someone mentions your name in the in-game chat.
Perhaps an event even.

The current workaround is to enable sound notifications through computer browser addons but that's not a viable option for those who use Torn on their mobiles phones.

Additionally, it doesn't ping you for mentions, but all messages instead.

EDIT: to avoid an excessive amount of pings, an ignore list as suggested below would work great with this suggestion.
Also, just to clarify, the suggestion is aimed towards Company and Faction chats mainly.

Torn Steadfast Gym Guard - Tampermonkey userscript

 

Hi all,

I've published a small Tampermonkey userscript called Torn Steadfast Gym Guard that reads your faction Steadfast bonus from the Torn API and highlights the favoured gym stats on the gym page. It also intercepts TRAIN clicks for non-favoured stats and asks for confirmation so you don't accidentally train the wrong stat.

 

Features:

• Automatically reads perks from the Torn API (Limited/Public key enough)
• Highlights favoured stats and dims others
• Confirm dialog when training a non-favoured stat
• Caches data for 3 hours and refreshes automatically

 

Install:
Open the raw script URL to install directly in Tampermonkey:
steadfast-gym-guard.user.js

 

Repo: github.com/kristowyn/torn-steadfast-gym-guard

Feedback welcome - especially if the React-based intercept stops working after page changes.

Hey,

I figure the Discord server is private? Can't find it.

I clicked on the link again after I’ve already installed the Pilot app and it went through :)[image: i.ibb.co]

What is the invitation code?

Already got a job. Thanks!

FYI, got 2 offers for 200k per day which I had to laugh at.
I suppose they took their time and downvoted this post. :(

Good luck to everyone else here not to get scammed.

This has probably already been mentioned but could the Wiki be enabled for bots to scrape as I'd rather ask chatbot to help find info on the Wiki instead of trying to find it manually?
For example, I was trying to find what I have to do to achieve a Role of "Citizen" but none of the 4 results that appeared after the search provided the answer.

Hello.

Would it be nice to see average lap times of every racer in the current running race screen?
Or at least a different metric to understand how faster or slower are you while the race is happening.
You can't use the percentages to accurately and easily foresee the development in a race.

Hey, Torn designers!

What would you think of an interactive view while travelling to different cities?

Perhaps a view from the plane (whichever you are in - private, business, etc) as in you would actually be sitting in it.

• In front of you, there would be your laptop on which you could click to open the stuff you access from it while flying.
• Around you could have windows to the outside with perhaps the view to the country you are flying to.
• Maybe a GPS thingy somewhere showing how many miles/kilometres have you flown and how many are left - with the time etc you will land.
• Maybe some other bits and bobs to improve the interaction while flying.
• Maybe a TV somewhere with the news section that you get in Newspapers.

There are a ton of other simple features you could also have while flying so I'd like to keep this post open for suggestions and if this idea is ok.

Something like in this below perhaps but it would change according to the type of plane you have

Hm, interesting.
Perhaps you could post a link because I, unfortunately, could not find a single one that is talking about this way of gaining.

Also, the Xanax you use is mainly for the purpose of using as much energy in trains as possible - unlocking higher tier gyms as soon as possible.
That way, when you do finally start using edvds for the jumps, you have the best gym possible for the time you have played. Making the long-shot growth quicker than in other ways (without wasting 35mil on tier 1 and 2 gyms.

Also, the disclaimer did say that this guide is only for a specific group of players - pay2win players mostly. However, it can be used by anyone since the logic is still valid either way.

Appreciate your feedback and effort in reading it through. Please let me know of any other guides so I can assimilate their logic into here and perhaps make this a better guide. :)
