FAQ
FAQ
Level
How do I level?
You can level up by simply playing the game. Many things affect your chances of leveling, from playing in the casino, to training your stats. When you attack someone, you also gain more EXP if you leave them instead of hospitalizing or mugging them.
Why can't I see how close I am to leveling?
Your Experience (points needed to go up levels) is hidden so you never know when you might be going up a level. This is one of the things that sets Torn apart from most online games. The element of surprise is always there! There is however the Fortune Teller which is unlocked at China after you hit level 15, using this will tell you how close you are to level. Fortune Teller costs 75,000 and tells you a percentage of how far you are from your next level, if you are level holding it merely states 100% instead of your true level.
Crimes
Why can't I do many crimes?
If you are failing the crime, you do not have enough experience in crimes to do it. Successfully complete some of the lower crimes to gain crime experience. It is much better to continue on lower crimes than to move up too soon and fail larger crimes you were not ready for. It can be a slow process and takes time and patience. Critical fails (when you are injured, are sent to the hospital or jail) lower your crime experience more than normal fails.
Why do I keep going to jail?
You keep going to jail because you are trying crimes that are way too hard for you, you must be patient and slowly move up the crimes. If you are under 10 days old, there are ticks next to the crimes that you can do with a high chance of success.
How can I increase my nerve bar?
You can increase your natural nerve bar by doing crimes and earning crime experience. Your nerve bar increases in increments of 5 nerve at a time. The maximum natural nerve you can obtain is currently unknown. Remember, some crimes provide more crime experience than others. Critical fails are more harmful to increasing your natural nerve bar than other fails.
Marriage
How do I propose/marry someone?
You must first get a ring. When you have the ring, go to your items page and click 'propose' next to your ring item. Once you have clicked propose you will need to enter the player's ID that you wish to marry. You will also need to select players from your friends list to witness the marriage.
Should you wish to cancel a pending proposal or engagement, you do that by going to the Church and clicking View Proposals. If the proposal has already been accepted and you are engaged, go to the Church, click Ceremony, then click Second Thoughts to cancel the engagement.
How do I divorce someone?
Should you no longer wish to be with a player that you have married then you have the option to divorce the player at the Church. You cannot divorce your spouse until it is past 7 days after marriage. Keep in mind there are marriage length merits.
Hospital
How can I get out of hospital?
Medical items reduce hospital time, recover health as well as add to a medical cooldown. This is the most common way to get yourself out of hospital. Another option is to get a player to revive you, this gets you out of the hospital and restores your health based on the revivers skill level. (Example: 75 skill gives 75% health). If a reviver service is used they typically want payment of various amounts. To be revived you have to have revived turned on. The drug Opium removes all hospital time unless you have radiation poisoning.
How do I revive people?
In order to revive other players you must first join the medical starter job. Once you reach the final position of 'Brain Surgeon', you will unlock a passive special allowing you to revive players. You can revive players from their profile or directly from hospital. The base energy to revive someone is 75, this can be reduced down to 25 with faction specials. You can leave the medical job after you have reached the Brain Surgeon position and you will keep the ability to revive.
Account
Can I delete or restart my account?
The answer is yes, you may request your account to be deleted and you may restart a new account if you want to. Please read further information about this topic here New Account. You are advised to read that page entirely before restarting to ensure you are compliant with the restart process.
How do I change my account info?
Go to preferences. The Gear icon at the top right corner of every page.
Rules
I know someone who is using multiple accounts / breaking the rules, what should I do?
If you believe someone to be playing more than one account you should use the player report function to report the ID's in question. Allowing a staff member to check them out cannot hurt.
If I have a relative or friend playing Torn City with me on the same IP, will I be banned?
No, as of an update IP blocks have been removed from the game. Staff have determined that they are able to efficiently identify the difference between a multiple account and two legitimate players. As long as you don't play two accounts, you will not get banned: staff can tell.
Other
How do I regain energy, nerve and happiness?
You are automatically funded 5 energy and happiness every 15 minutes. (every 10 minutes for energy if you are a donator) You gain 1 Nerve point every 5 minutes. Different drugs give different amounts, while also having different side effects and cooldowns. Types of candy can increase happiness, types of alcohol can increase nerve. Different boosters can also help you gain different effects (examples: EDVD: Happiness, Feathery Hotel Coupon: Energy). If you rehab in Switzerland it will completely fill your happiness bar.
How do I gain points?
To gain points, you can invite friends to Torn using your referral link. You can also purchase points from the points market located in the city. Becoming a donator or subscriber will reward you 60 and 90 points respectively. You also receive points (if you are still on crimes 1.0) by successful completion of Pawn Shop crime by using the side door option, however this has a high fail rate and if failed does a huge amount of damage to your nerve bar. Additionally spinning leslies wheel's have a chance of awarding you points
What is my referral link?
You can access your referral link to give to your friends under the "special" section of the sidebar. Alternatively, you can click here. Accessing this page will also display all rewards available to you for referring friends. Please note this is an example of what your referral link will look like - http://www.torn.com/123456789 Another way to remember is just adding your user id after www.torn.com/ user id.
