Torn for Beginners

How to play?

TORN Basics

Torn is a text-based browser and mobile MMORPG set in a crime-soaked city that never resets. You start weak and choose your path: criminal, fighter, trader, or faction soldier. Progress is gated by Energy, Nerve, Happy, and Life, and crimes are a core part of that loop.

  • Training Strength, Defense, Speed, and Dexterity in gyms
  • Working jobs or running one of dozens of player-owned company types
  • Education courses
  • PvP: attacking, mugging, or hospitalizing other players
  • Faction life: organized crimes, ranked wars, territory
  • Player-driven markets, bazaars, auction house, stock market, and bank
  • Travel, properties, racing, casino/poker, missions, drugs, items, bounties, jail/hospital cycles

Level is hidden until you hit it; stats can theoretically go infinitely high. The game is designed for long-term play—check in a few times a day rather than sit and grind for hours.

02

Complete the tutorial

Follow the tutorial exactly, please don’t spend all your E (Energy) in the gym. Done right, you can reach level 3 in your first hour.

03

Get starter weapons and armor

You’ll need basic gear next. Join Faction Forge and you’ll see a list of players ready to help you get your first weapons and armor.

04

Reach level 15

Get to level 15 as soon as possible. We have a method that can get you there within a week — some players do it in 4 days. After you join Faction Forge, you’ll see the exact plan.
