Guide to books

Key Objective

• Escape Happy Jump (HJ) range (and then some) by reaching 800k per stat efficiently.

• This book can also be used down the road for much bigger gains if you'd prefer.

• WARNING: Do not tell anyone you're reading the book. Trolls will sabotage you. Think horse heads and poison mistletoes.

Minimum Requirements (Must Have)

✅ Faction benefits:

• Voracity: +50% energy drinks effect & +24h booster cooldown

• Steadfast: At least 10% in each stat (rotation is fine)

• Overdosing reduction: At least 30%

✅ Company perks:

• Job that allows exchanging points for happiness

✅ Housing & status:

• Private Island (PI) (5,025 happiness minimum)

• Donator status

Recommended Additions (Good to Have)

🛑 Hide in a faction that is not warring

🚀 Pick up some boosts from your job:

• 🎵 10 Music Store: +30% gym experience

• 🏥 10 AN:  Faster bounce back from overdoses

• 🍽️ 10 Restaurant: Additional booster cooldowns

📈 MCS stock: Buy as many increments as you can afford and find useful

Preparation Before Reading

📌 Energy & cash requirements:

• 30 points x 31 days for Energy refills

• Around 1B cash to buy:

  1. 24 hours of Energy drinks (cans) for 30 days

     • Red Cow/Rudolph are best value

     • Avoid FHC unless you're a whale; if you are, use X-Mass instead when E/mil is better than FHC (e.g., during ChristmasTown season in December)

  2. Xanax: 3 per day for 31 days

     • Optional: Secure OD insurance (24 Xans per 7 days x 4)

  3. 9 eDVDs & 2 Ecstasy (you'll need a set for your first jump, and another each time you OD)

  4. Optional: A couple business class tickets (recover time lost from OD)

🛑 Alarms & scheduling:

• Set alarms to take Xanax exactly when the cooldown expires

• You may need to wake up at 2 AM if you’re committed to the grind

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Set Up

• Meet the minimum requirements

• Optimize additional benefits above

Step 2: Start the Process

1. Stack to 1,000E

2. Pre-boost before reading:

   • Use 9 eDVDs + 2 Ecstasy

   • Exception: If in a 10 AN*, only 1 Ecstasy needed; just pump eDVDs to 50k happiness and wait for the drug cooldown

3. Start reading the book before the 15-minute block resets

   • Ideally, time it mid-block or earlier so you'll have a little more time when the book ends in 31 days

Step 3: During the 31-Day Read Period

✅ Use energy continuously (no stacking):

• Use natural E, refills, cans, and Xanax

• Always be at 0 or 5E before taking a Xanax (to avoid wasting refill energy in case of OD)
  ✅ Optional: Buy OD insurance
  ✅ Rehab smartly:

  • • Reduce addiction but leave 1 tick

    • Use business class flights to recover 5,025 happiness after ODing (time is money!)

✅ Plan for OD recovery:

• • • Leave 24 hours of booster cooldown to bump your happiness back to 99k

    • You need 48 hours, after Xanax OD, you'll have 24 hours cooldown. With the 24 hours cooldown you'll already have plus the 24 hours OD cooldown, you're back to 48 hours to stack the DVDs again.

Step 4: Maximize Gains

💪 Reach 800k per stat first (following gym dots)
💥 Push toward 1.4M per stat if possible. At 1.4M stats, 99k happiness boosts gains slightly less than 2x, so it's better to train a different stat after 1.4M

Step 5: Final 24 Hours

🛑 Use all booster cooldowns in the last 24 hours of reading
📌 Follow gym dots over steadfast – Gym efficiency is the key to max gains

Final Notes

• This method optimizes your book usage for the best stat gains.

• If executed correctly, you’ll be well beyond the noob range and ready to dominate Torn!
