    Hello everyone! I've been playing Torn for a while, but recently came back after a year long break due to personal issues. Upon coming back I was broke and forgot how to do a lot of things. Then I noticed in all of it, that a lot of the user guides that Hank created were junked over a hissy fit, which I found useless as all he's done is hurt new players, but I'm hoping to help solve the gap there.

    I've created this user guide based on his old one, and I plan to expand it as time goes. This should help not only my spouse who is a newer player, but also anyone who is new or may simply need a reminder. Do not expect this guide to be nearly as good as Hank's guide as he obviously put a lot of work into the research and has a lot more experience and connections.

    If you notice any imperfections or think something needs to be added, please feel free to let me know through PM or in the comments. And feel free to give a like if you wish!


    Energy

    Energy is one of the core features of Torn. Without it, you can't train or attack. Energy is capped at 100 and will regain 5 energy ever 15 minutes. If you are a subscriber (which I recommend) or use a donor pack that limit will be bumped to 150 and will regenerate 5 energy every 10 minutes. Once your energy hits or goes over 150 (or 100 if you're not a donor), then it will not automatically regenerate. Overall the absolute maximum amount of energy one person can have at any given time is 1,000. This is done by using drugs, cans, or job specials. The only way to loose energy is to use it, or if you overdose it will drop to 0.


    Happy

    Happy is the next most important thing to gym training. It determines how much stats you gain per train. Happy is determined by the type of property you live in, and the amount of staff you have. Unlike energy, when you go over the maximum happiness, it will go away after a few minutes. The times in which happy resets back at max after going over is: :00, :15, :30, :45. These numbers are very important to make sure you don't waste a bunch of boosters and don't have enough time to train. So if you want to boost, wait until :01, :16, :31, or :46, and make sure you finish all your training before the times listed before. Try to buy the best you can possibly afford to rent, with a spouse who can help out. Below is a list of properties and the happiness they can bring, this picture was taken from the Torn Wiki.

    Drugs

    Drugs are something I recommend for new players and veterans alike. There is a sports science gym which is open if you use below 50 xanax and 50 ecstasy. This option is there, but for this guide I'm going to stick with the drug side of things and maybe later down the road I can include the sports science gym.

    Drugs do come with a price, rehab bills. These start out on the cheap end (250k-1m), but can get very expensive as you use more. However, as you use more time progresses and hopefully you've found a good method to make decent income. Everything in Torn balances out, but don't try and push yourself using a training method 3x over your daily budget.


    Gyms

    Passive Training Methods

    These can be combined with the methods listed below for maximum training effectiveness.

    -Get your bachelors in Sports Science, this will increase gains by 2%

    -Join a Faction which offers Steadfast (ranges from 0-10), this can increase gains up to 10%

    -Get a property with a pool, this will increase by another 2%

    -Get a job at a 10 star Fitness Center, 3% gym gains. OR get a job at a 10 star Strip Club, 10% dexterity or defense.

    Part 2

    Now lets move onto the actual methods to gaining quick stats! Some of these will also use your booster cooldown. If the method requires the use of booster cooldown you will not be able to use any other boosters while doing this method. If not, feel free to use your boosters on your Nerve bar or whatever you need!


    Method One

    Item Requirements:

    -3x Xanax ($2,520,000)

    -25x Points ($1,365,000)

    Total: $3,885,000/day

    Uses Booster Cooldown: No



    Step 1: With a full energy bar (150/150), train all your energy in one go.

    Step 2: Use an energy refill and once again, train all in one go.

    Step 3: Use a xanax bar and train all in one go.

    Step 4: Throughout the day use natural energy and keep using xanax when your cool down ends.



    Risk of Overdose: Low

    Drug Cooldown: 6-8 Hours




    Method Two

    Item Requirements:

    -3x Xanax ($2,520,000)

    -5x Erotic DVD ($12,750,000)

    -25x Points ($1,365,000)

    -1x Ecstasy ($70,000)

    Total: $16,705,000 / 30 Hours

    Uses Booster Cooldown: Yes



    Step 1: With a full energy bar (150/150), use a xanax. This will give you 400 energy.

    Step 2: After drug cooldown has ended, use another xanax. This will give you 650 energy.

    Step 3: After drug cooldown has ended, use another xanax. This will give you 900 energy.

    Step 4: With no drug/booster cooldown and within at least five minutes of the Happy Reset (:00, :15, :30, :45), use 5 Erotic DVD's.

    Step 5: Use an Ecstasy pill. Ecstasy will double your current happiness.

    Step 6: Train all 900 energy in one go.

    Step 7: Refill and train in one go.



    This is the best method recommend to new players, and many veterans still use it as well.

    Risk of Overdose: High

    Ecstasy Cooldown: 3-4 Hours

    Xanax Cooldown: 6-8 Hours




    Method Three

    Item Requirements:

    -3x Xanax ($2,520,000)

    -12x Cans of Munster ($16,800,000) - Using Red Cow will increase the gains, and using Tourine Elite will increase it even more.

    -25x Points ($1,365,000)

    Total: $20,685,000/day

    Uses Booster Cooldown: Yes



    Step 1: With a full energy bar (150/150), train all your energy at once.

    Step 2: Use an energy refill, and trail all your energy at once.

    Step 3: Drink 12 Cans of Munster, that will give you 240 energy. Train all your energy at once.

    Step 4: Take a xanax and train all your energy at once.

    Step 5: Use natural energy and xanax throughout the rest of the day without the use of any boosters.



    Risk of Overdose: Low

    Xanax Cooldown: 6-8 Hours




    Method Four

    Item Requirements:

    -3x Xanax ($2,520,000)

    -4x Feathery Hotel Coupons ($57,600,000)

    Total: $60,120,000/day

    Uses Booster Cooldown: Yes



    Step 1: With a full energy bar (150/150), train all your energy at once.

    Step 2: Use one coupon and train all your energy at once.

    Step 3: Repeat step 2 until booster cooldown is maxed.

    Step 4: Use an energy refill and train all your energy at once.

    Step 5: Use natural energy and xanax throughout the rest of the day without the use of any boosters.



    If, an only if, you can afford it then this is the best method to use for gaining high stats.

    Risk of Overdose: Low

    Xanax Cooldown: 6-8 Hours

    "There is a sports science gym which is open if you use below 50 xanax and 50 ecstasy but you have to complete the education courses required for it."

    I've never heard this before? About the education part. Can anyone verify whether this is true or Not? Obvs not drug free but for the people that are xD

    R+ a few things I would like to see added:
    • I think previously mentioned as to some breakpoints of happiness being a viable boost to stat gains and when 3 xan / day with natural energy will be equal to happiness boosts
      • Along with this, I would also include the benefits of being in an 10* Adult Novelty company when your stats are under a certain value. Method #2 as you mentioned receives incredible benefit when getting the added special of 2x eDVD effectivity.
      A mention of some valuable information for new players or players with low stats (i.e. 50m is the stat cap where the gains are linear and no longer exponential which is important information to understand.
    Keep up the good work.

    From what I understand a bachelor in sports science is required. As I've never talked to someone that has gone that route, I'm honestly not 100% sure on it. I'll need to find someone to verify and I'll edit the thread if needed.

    Thanks for letting me know!

    Thanks to Muckamuch, he was able to verify with me that education is not required for the sports science gym. Thread has been updated!

    Is there any cheaper method for even poorer people? I'm gonna start eating 6hrs of chocolate, full energy train, use one xanax, full energy train. Anything I could add to it? I'm generally traveling all day, and when I get back to Torn, I use all my energy and travel again. Any tips for me?

    Great guide tho, R+!

    Your traveling should get you around 2-3m per day. Your first priority should be buying a donator pack from the market. Easily the best thing you can buy with money and you should have bought that before moving into the PI. Secondly, work your way towards a Large Suitcase which will let you bring more items from abroad. And thirdly find a spouse to split that PI cost.

    In 2 weeks you should be able to sustain yourself and take 2-3 xanax per day. Good luck!

    As I mentioned in the very beginning, the post is inspired by Hanks guide. Since he had a hissy fit and junked his guides, I've created this to help out the beginners.

    Is there any cheaper method for even poorer people? I'm gonna start eating 6hrs of chocolate, full energy train, use one xanax, full energy train. Anything I could add to it? I'm generally traveling all day, and when I get back to Torn, I use all my energy and travel again. Any tips for me? Great guide tho, R+!
    You can try XTC trains at 150 energy(no xanax). It's a bit risky if you OD, but the gains are higher than xanax gains, until about 100k in a stat.

    edit: Also XTC only costs about 70k

    I've gotten the same advice today, but still couldn't test it there any way to know what will be the better option of 1 > 150e+250e train with 5k happy vs 2 > ecstasy + 150e training?

    I'm only gonna be able to compare both monday probably.

    I did try both, while my stats were still under 100k in each stat and I know most certainly,
    that XTC at 150 E is worth more outcome than even the 400 E from xanax and natural E used in one single train.
    There is ofc a disadvantage, which is the Gym progress, as Xanax users put much more energy into their training.
    But otherwise it's much cheeper, worth more stats than just using Xanax at least until you reach 100k in a stat,
    and if you OD you didn't almost pay a mil for nothing, and I have to say that as a new player it is very important,
    to establish some sort of money pillow, instead of draining it all with premium trains.

    Thanks mate! I guess I'll make do with XTC training until I get more stats then. I too think it's not much worth it to use up almost all my daily gains with training. I wanna build a steady income first, while still training regularly. If anyone has another way, I'm happy to hear it , but for now I'll do what Olafder suggested.

    "There is a sports science gym which is open if you use below 50 xanax and 50 ecstasy but you have to complete the education courses required for it." I've never heard this before? About the education part. Can anyone verify whether this is true or Not? Obvs not drug free but for the people that are xD
    No education requirement.

    The only 2 requirements are that Last Round be unlocked and (VERY IMPORTANT) that your combined xanax and ecstasy use doesn't exceed 150. So you can take 150 xanax and 0 ecstasy or 75 of each or 50 of 1 and 100 of the other or any combo in between (but of ocurse there is a merit for using 50 of each drug so it probably makes most sense to get both those merits before you decide what to do with the remaing 50 you are entitled to). If you take just 1 more than the total 150 and you get booted and can never regain that gym which cost half a bill to join.

    No other drugs affect this gym.

    (NB, the description for this gym in the help wiki indicates that you can only take 75 of each, but based on something I read a good while ago I think my description is correct, but I'd recommend doing a search of your own to see or just sticking to the 75 each to be safe.)
