If you're new to the game and feeling a bit overwhelmed, don't sweat it. I got your back with some solid tips straight from the forums:
Boost that happiness: Did you know that training success is influenced by happiness? Start off by getting a rental property that boosts your happiness. It's a great way to set yourself up for success. Cheers to Anihilist for dropping that knowledge.
Power leveling: Before you start power leveling, aim to get your stats to around 2,000. This will give you a solid foundation to work with. Kethro knows what's up.
Dive into the forums: There's a ton of information waiting for you in the forums. Some of it's good, some of it's useless, but it's definitely worth exploring. Shout out to Elitist for pointing us in the right direction.
Train strength and dex: Focus on training your strength and dexterity early on. Once you've built up your stats, join a newbie faction and start warring for some serious cash. RogueMyst07 knows the hustle.
Property goals: As a rule of thumb, work your way up from a Trailer to a Mansion, and eventually aim for a Private Island. It's a progression that can bring some serious benefits. Capcrew has got the property game on lock.
Power leveling defined: Power leveling is all about leveling up as quickly as possible. Follow the targets in Baldr's guide to maximize your progress. The goal is to reach level 15 ASAP so you can start flying and making bank. Anihilist and RougeMyst07 got you covered.
Join a faction: Don't go at it alone. Joining a faction can be a game-changer. You'll have people to guide you, support you, and make the game more enjoyable. CameillaTea and oraN know what's up.
Read guides: Take advantage of the wealth of knowledge in the guides section. Baldr's Basic Advice Guide is highly recommended. Absorb that knowledge and conquer Torn. Anarchia, Ar53_Hol, and Shooby are dropping wisdom.
Don't forget the Piggy Bank: During your first 7 days in Torn, buy the Piggy Bank from the mission page. It's a one-time purchase that's worth it. Just remember, don't smash it! Thanks for the reminder, Shooby.
Be strategic with money: Money can be hard to come by at the start, so be careful with your finances. Keep some of it in points and stocks. Utilize the bank interest to lock down lump sums for guaranteed interest. Xerra's got your financial game sorted.
Mind your manners: Torn players can be ruthless, so it's best to avoid drawing unnecessary attention. Ask reasonable questions, maintain a sense of humor, and don't be an arse. Respect and etiquette go a long way. Thanks, Markland, for the reminder.
Get a new email: And for SilentSteg's unconventional advice... well, you do you, my friend.

Ah, DocFox, my esteemed friend. I couldn't help but peruse the detailed mission and goals of Revivers Without Borders. Such a noble cause, bringing the gift of life to the fallen souls of Torn. But, if I may indulge in my wicked curiosity, a few questions have arisen in my twisted mind. Firstly, do you offer any discounts for those of us with a penchant for unfortunate mishaps? I mean, my dear Doc, accidents seem to follow me like shadows in the night. It would be ever so delightful to have a special deal on revives, considering the frequency of my untimely demise. Secondly, what if one of your freevivers develops a sudden craving for a taste of blood? You know, those dark desires that lurk beneath their benevolent facade. Are there any safeguards in place to prevent them from taking a bite out of the revived? It's a concern that haunts my wicked imagination. And finally, this concept of donations to support your organization. Do you accept more...unconventional forms of payment? Let's just say I have a collection of "interesting" artifacts that may pique your interest. Perhaps we can strike a deal that satisfies both our twisted desires. I eagerly await your response, DocFox. May our conversation be as dark and twisted as the city we inhabit.
Greetings, you corrupted souls of Torn! Ah, the sweet aroma of political deceit fills the air once again. It's like a symphony of lies, promises, and the occasional beatdown. Allow me, Sovereign_Wolf, the master of twisted humor, to share my thoughts on this delightful spectacle.
Microbes, my friend, your desire to turn Torn into a communist utopia is truly admirable. High taxes on the Item Market, closing down private bazaars, and free gym and Xanax for all! Oh, the irony! Nothing screams equality like forcing players to buy and sell only through the Item Market, and who wouldn't want their daily dose of gains and pharmaceutical bliss? You've certainly mastered the art of false promises.
Now, DocFox, the advocate of kindness and charity, I must say your campaign is as heartwarming as a bullet to the chest. Free healthcare for everyone, even those who can't afford it? How selfless! But I have to wonder, Doc, will you be reviving the fallen souls of Torn with your kindness? Or is it just another one of your charming lies? Your campaign fund distribution sounds noble, but let's hope it doesn't magically disappear into your own pocket, leaving the needy players high and dry.
And let us not forget our dear Akrylowy, the orchestrator of this grand political circus. The Campaign Fund, fueled by donations and the threat of a good old-fashioned beating if payments are not made. It's like a mafia protection racket, Torn-style! Oh, the twisted brilliance! But fear not, dear Akrylowy, for in this city of crime and chaos, such tactics are applauded. We revel in the dark humor of it all.
My fellow Tornians, as you cast your votes, remember that politics in Torn is not for the faint of heart. It's a carnival of corruption, where promises are broken as easily as bones. So embrace the madness, laugh at the absurdity, and relish in the darkness that defines our twisted world. For it is in Torn that the boundaries of corruption are pushed to their limits, and the wicked laughter echoes through the shadows. Now, my deranged & grossly delusional Tornimaniacs, go forth and let your votes be heard! May the most deceitful and captivating candidate win, for it is in their victory that the true spirit of Torn thrives. And as for me, Sovereign_Wolf, I shall continue to roam the streets, spreading twisted humor and wreaking havoc wherever I go.
