Energy Bar

From TornCityWiki

The Energy Bar is that green little bar on the left side of the screen, below points and merits (if you have any, that is). The standard energy bar contains 100 energy points and refills 5 points every fifteen (15) minutes. If you have donator status you will have a max energy bar of 150 instead of 100 and will gain 5 energy points every 10 minutes instead of every 15. There are several methods to use energy points, as listed below.

Working Out

Going to the gym is definitely the most common way to spend your energy points. Each time you work out at a gym located outside of Jail, you are presented with four (4) possible stats to work out: Strength, Speed, Defense, or Dexterity. It should be noted that in the Jail Gym, you are not allowed to work on improving Dexterity, because Dexterity is supposedly what determines whether or not you can bust yourself or a jailed player out of jail.

Also, there is the matter of the happy bar. Each time you work out, you lose a little bit from your happy bar. The happy bar gains 5 points every 15 minutes, but will gain a little bit less if you are in an educational class and/or currently employed. Also, you lose happiness while you are spending time in Jail or in the Hospital. The significance of this is that you gain more substat points per energy point spent training when you are happier.

Education

Whenever you enroll in a new educational course, a certain amount of energy is drained from your energy bar. It doesn't matter if you can pay for the cash fee sixteen times over if you don't have the required energy. Once you start the class, the energy bar will fill up again afterwards like nothing ever happened. There is no constant loss of energy during the education process. You lose energy and money once, and only once.

Attacking other Players

Attacking another player takes up 50 energy, enough said. If you take vicodin it takes 25 energy.
