Guide to LOSSES - Beginner to Advanced
After playing this game for over 2 years, and quitting on numerous occasions for several reasons, I have found that there is one fundamental truth to this game... It's a whole lot more fun when you're making money. This game is unique in its features and overall depth. While there are endless ways to making money, there is still that other fundamental truth... it's easier to make money if you have money. There are many guides out there, even some for losses. This guide goes in depth on how to form a steady income through various ways of doing losses.
This guide is broken up into two portions... Beginner and Advanced. If you are a brand new player, start with the Beginner Guide as it pertains to the use of Refills. The Advanced Guide will focus on the use of Xanax and First Aid Kits while maximizing their cool down and profits.
Let's define losses. In the simplest terms... losses means attacking a player while intending to lose. Oddly enough, players will pay you to do this.
BEGINNER GUIDE
When you first start Torn City, you are given a brief set of missions that introduce you to the game. You will buy weapons, armor, housing, explore the city, and make a few attacks. During this time, I suggest spending the least amount of money possible on the items you purchase. Also, use the least amount of Refills as possible if you choose to use this beginner portion of the guide.
Once you're done with the beginning missions from George, I suggest visiting some of the local shops to purchase what items you can to flip for a profit. There are many guides out there for doing this, so I won't delve, but starting trading from day 1 can give you a jump start. It can also give you a jump on purchasing necessary items to begin using the Advanced Guide.
Losses can be sold for as much as $300k-$350k per loss and can sometimes include bonuses such as extra cash or First Aid Kits. When starting out, I suggest pricing your service somewhere around $250-$300k per loss. If you are new to the game, chances are you won't be able to sell them in bulk. Use the Trade Chat and post that you're offering losses at your desired rate. "Selling losses. $250k per. Start chat." - is a short and to the point post. Remember not to post more than once per page on the Trade Chat, otherwise you will be told not to spam the chat. Buyers will typically want to pay after the loss has occurred, so try not to ask for money or items up front. Once you have a buyer and have made a deal, follow these steps.
- Each attack will cost you 25 Energy. Upon losing, you will be placed in the Hospital. You can either wait out the time or use a First Aid Kit which removes 50 Minutes of Hospital time and heals you slightly.
- Once you are out of the Hospital, and if you have enough energy, you can attack again.
- If you start with a full Energy bar of 100, 4 attacks is the most you can do without boosters. (150 Energy and 6 attacks for Donators - The advanced guide can get you to a Donator Pack and Donator Status quickly.)
- Now that you have done your first losses, it is time to collect. Contact the buyer and negotiate payment.
If you have done 4 losses at $250k per loss, you will have $1,000,000 to spend. I suggest purchasing First Aid Kits in bulk. Go ahead and spend the whole million... that way none of it can get mugged from you. If you need cash, you can sell the First Aid Kits. Now you can use your Refills to gain max energy back and do another 4 attacks. (6 if you have Donator Status) If you choose not to use your refills, you can either wait until your Energy increases enough to attack again... or move on to the Advanced Guide.
ADVANCED GUIDE
After you have the basics of doing losses, have some cash on hand, and built a reputation with a customer or two... you can begin using Xanax and First Aid Kits to pump out bulk losses. Here are a few things to note:
- Xanax - cool down time of 360-480 Minutes 6-8 Hours).
- Popping a Xanax will give you 250 Energy which is enough to do 10 attacks. With a full Energy bar, that's 14 total. (16 with Donator Status)
- First Aid Kit - cool down time of 50 Minutes.
- Buyers like paying for bulk losses rather than one at a time.
- Without Donator Status, you will regenerate enough energy for 19.2 attacks per 24 hour period.
I typically wait until I have a full energy bar, a stack of 16+ First Aid Kits, pop a Xanax, and knock out 16 losses at a time. I will have another tab open that is simply used to click "Use Another" once I've used my first First Aid Kit. Dual tabs allows for less time clicking around from the attack to your items.
If you have Donator Status, the 16 attacks you are capable of doing will net you $4,000,000 at $250k per loss. Subtract the cost of the Xanax and First Aid Kits, ~$880k per Xanax and ~$20k per First Aid Kit, you can net ~$2,800,000.
Say it takes 7 hours for your Xanax cool down... your Hospital cool down should be about 8 hours... this means that, if timed right, you are capable of using this system 3 times a day. That doesn't include the single attacks you can do as your energy bar refills during cool downs.
That being said, even with buying Xanax and First Aid Kits, you have the potential to net $8,400,000 at $250k per loss.
Even if you can't time this 3 times per 24 hours, you still have the potential to make great money and be well on your way to establishing yourself in Torn City. One of your first cash purchases should be a donator pack which can be attained in the first week or so. I suggest trading items that you can buy low and sell high. There are many established guides out there that offer advice on what to buy and for how much. Just remember to stay out of the Casino... trust me, I've lost over $600,000,000 there.

Posted on 23:38:52 - 20/01/16 (10 years ago)Post link copied to clipboard Copy post linkWell in my opinion you need money period. You can only make so much flower running and someone would be hard to make enough to take 3 xanax daily, do their point refill, rent a pi, buy donator packs, and pay rehab and property fees on flower running alone.
You can make 18 mil daily slutting which is 600 mil a month about. Lets say someone takes 3 months in between flower running and makes 2 bil to max the bank. They will forever be getting 340-380 mil every 60 days. This is enough to pay for all the mentioned expenses above at about a 1-1.5 mil daily deficit, which can then EASILY be compensated for by flower running. So from there you can just bank almost everything you make flower running.
Now lets assume that up until a large number of billions you can double your cash every year through the bank, actively buying and selling stocks, and maybe some of the better benefit blocks. So now you will forever be making a significant amount of money above what you would have by slowly getting a networth. This allows you to buy cans, fhcs, and eventually stat enhancers that you would of otherwise not been able to afford. Long story short I think you can see that saving early pays in the long run, even if its at the cost of energy.
You have played 2 months and have a 25 mil networth. Ya you might have a little bit of stats but someone who is slutting religiously and saving every penny, by not much more than your age, could be approaching 2 bil and be ready to jump on the bandwagon of players that fully train. In 1 year I guarantee this theoretical person is beating you.
Anyway... all the time I see both young and old players say the same thing to new players that you are saying and it irritates me because they seem clueless to me of the effect of compound monetary gains. I'm still not able to afford cans or fhc daily, wondering if I should be slutting? -

Posted on 01:33:44 - 21/01/16 (10 years ago)Post link copied to clipboard Copy post linkGuide is fine but if losing in bulk use Small First Aid Kits. They should get you out of hospital after 1 loss all by themselves, and if they don't you can use a second. The combined medical cooldown is that of 1 First Aid Kit anyway, so the worst case scenario is that you gain the same amount of time on your medical cooldown as you would have. This is important because the more times you are able to med out of hospital, the more losses you can do.

Posted on 02:35:01 - 21/01/16 (10 years ago)Post link copied to clipboard Copy post linkehhhhhh........ theory is decent but your numbers are a little funny there wolfy :P
If you take 3 Xanax a day (750 E) and use all your Natural E (4*150 = 600 E), you get 1350 E and can make 54 attacks. In a perfect world, you would always have someone to slut for that pays you and doesn't scam you, but let's say that's the case and you make $250k per attack. That's $13.5 mill. But the 3x Xanax costs you $2.64 mill and 54x SFAK costs you $810k. So there's your max daily profit of approx $10mill.
So at that rate, again assuming you do this each and every day perfectly, you're profiting $300mill per month. But you're buying a DP every month too right? Now it's $278mill profit. Definitely not $600mill, but still good right?
By flying, with a PI rental and a large suitcase, you can carry 20 items and profit $1.36mill per trip to the UK. Make 5 trips a day and it's $6.8mill profit per day. Join a faction with Cumber III and/or get in a FLower Shop and increase that profit drastically, but we'll ignore that. PI rental is 300k per day, so you're profiting $195mill per month, $173mill after DP purchase. But, you now have the use of your Natural E for training, mugging, missions, or even the occasional slut. And you're gaining merits which have real value.
Numbers in both of these scenarios are for PERFECT execution, in all likelihood real profits would be less. The point is you can make plenty to profit by flying just fine. Supplement that by getting on IRC or minor trading to start, and you won't fall way behind your peers in stats, nor carry the Punchbag title for the rest of your life. -

Posted on 03:04:08 - 21/01/16 (10 years ago)Post link copied to clipboard Copy post linkPlenty of people pay 350k per loss if you shop around enough. That was the number I was going off of, and that was including the xanax taken out. Your right I did not include the meds though. Its 17.95 without meds at 350k.
And you wont fall behind 90% of torn getting your networth up faster by slutting. Maybe at first but like I said in the years to come the monetary gains you will have gotten from that initial investment only keep compounding.
Edit:
And from as far as I have seen missions dont pay much at all unless you get an occasional decent mug. Not sure how mugging inactives pays but it is the same concept as slutting at that point, with the benefit of weapons merits. So six and one half a dozen of the other as far as thats concerned. Also you can both fly and slut which in my opinion would be the ideal. Or if you can mug for more than you can make slutting, thats of course the better option.
I would also like to point out that 5 trips per day is 20 hours. Not sure how much you sleep but I am willing to bet that for the average person thats impossible. I think my point still stands that it can be a real effective money making tool early on to get a head start. My numbers were a bit on the high end, yours on the low, but even if it takes an extra month or so to get up a significant amount of cash to invest with I still am of the opinion if you sat down and actually cranked out the math it would be much more lucrative to do it that way.Last edited by mywo on 03:18:53 - 21/01/16 (10 years ago) -
