Hello new player,

If you've started taking Torn serious and read some training guides you've probably read about "Happy Jumping". But what is it and what does it look like? In the following guide i'll try to explain the basics with added pictures.
Especially for players under 200,000 battle stats in Strenght / Dexterity / Speed / Defense, the amount of Happy is very important. That's why you need to rent the best possible place that provides the most happy. Together with this great property, we can start the "Happy Jump"



In short: More happy=more gym stats gain when training In a Happy Jump we're going to increase our happy as much as possible and then train with it as much as possible.





Step-by-step how to set up the happy jump (pictures below)

Item Requirements taken and tweaked from this awesome guide you can buy these in the Item Market @ the city

-4x Xanax ($3,400,000)

-5x Erotic DVD ($14,000,000) (prices change a lot)

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

-1x Ecstasy ($70,000)

Total: $19,000,000 / +/- 32 Hours

Uses Booster Cooldown: Yes

Risk for overdose: 5-8%



Step 1: With a empty energy bar (0/150), use a xanax. This will give you 250 energy

Step 2: After drug cooldown has ended, use another xanax. This will get you to 500 energy

Step 3: After drug cooldown has ended, use another xanax. This will get you to 750 energy

Step 4: After drug cooldown has ended, use another xanax. This will get you to 1,000 energy

Step 5: Wait for Drug cooldown and Booster cooldown to reach ZERO 00:00

Step 6: Wait for the time to be xx:01 / xx:16 / xx:31 / xx:46 (check pictures! very important)

Step 7: use 5 Erotic DVD's

Step 8: Use an Ecstasy pill. Ecstasy will double your current happiness

Step 9: Train all 1,000 energy in one go

Step 10: Refill and train in one go, using another 150 energy

These are you Booster cooldown and Drug cooldown

To take a Xanax your Drug Cooldown has to be ZERO 00:00 to take another one.
Make sure the Booster cooldown is ZERO 00:00 when you start the happy jump. (dont take any booster while setting up, unles you know what you're doing!)

Take 4 Xanax (you have to wait 6-8 hours after taking one to take the following one)

Wait for the time to be xx:01 / xx:16 / xx:31 / xx:46

This is because you need to make sure you have enough time to complete the happy jump, because it will reset to your base value at xx:00 / 15 / 30 / 45
Below you can see where you can find the time. it's very small on the left bottom below the menu. Or if you type something in a chat you will see the last message time.

Read step 6 before you start!
Use as many Erotic DVD's as you can (some factions increase the amount you can take)

After taking the eDVD take an Ecstasy to double your current happy

With all this energy and happy go to the gym and train your preferred stat (highest of the gym recommended)
Here is a 10 energy train with 70,000 Happy

After using all energy, use your Refill of 150 energy in the point market

With DocTorn you can see your total stats gained this jump (mine is extra high because of my Adult Novelty job)

Example on what your stat growth could look like with Happy Jumping

What's the difference? Here's a normal 10 energy train without all that happy. It's 6x less effective then a happy jump!

So that's what a Basic Happy Jump looks like, read Expert Mode under this section for more advice.

Expert Happy Jumping

For all the min-max'ers under us, here's for when you want to spend that extra effort in making the best jumps possible.

Jobs that make it better (note they have to be 10 stars for most!):

-Working in a 10* Adult Novelties makes the Erotic DVD twice as effective! This means double happy while fully loaded, so almost double the gains!
-Working in a 10* Sweet Shop can give you 4,500 happy for 30 points, these can be used to increase that happy for more gains
-Working in a 10* Farm can give you 7 energy per point, with this you can do more trains while having that high happy
-Working in a 10* Game shop gives you 5 energy/50happy per points, this means a better jump in all ways!
-Working in a 7* Candle shop give you 5 energy per point, with this you can do more trains while having that high happy

Faction Perks that make Happy Jumps better / easier:
-Toleration redudes your chance for OverDose when taking Xanax or Ecstasy
-Voracity increases your Booster cooldown timer, this means you can take more Erotic DVD for higher happy
(You could ask higher factions to pay to join, but it takes 3 days for the perks to kick in)
-Steadfast increases your total gym-stat gains by a certain percentage

Other ways to get extra energy
-If you've been inactive for a long time, you've received some free refills that you can use all in a row, this means very high gym gains possible!
-Every 3 months there is a Newsletter. This has a link on the bottom with 250 free energy refill.





Good luck and let me know if you want any more information

EDIT:

Below a GIF of a player who did a 99k happy jump. You can see the whole process and timers on screen. Notice he did a point refill with 5e left. I would have personally changed gyms to max it, but this example is great.
