Intro Adventures
The Intro Adventures are a series of tutorial adventures designed to introduce new players to the game.
History
The Intro Adventures were introduced to the game on June 26, 2009.
They were well-received by the HoboWars community.
Story
You are an average employee at WalMart who dreams of becoming a hobo. After your boss catches you exhibiting hobo-like behavior on the job multiple times, he becomes fed up with it and fires your ass. You leave WalMart, dragging a cardboard box from the store behind you. You find an alleyway and decide to take a nap in your cardboard box for a while. Upon waking up, you notice that your cardboard box is gone! All that's left is a note that reads, "I have your box. You ever want to see it again, meet Duncan on the South Side of the City. -The Old Man".
It would seem that your life as a hobo has begun, and probably not in the way you wanted...
Initiation
All new players are forced to go through the Intro Adventures. Therefore, upon creating an account, a new player will automatically be introduced to the Intro Comics and directed to the City.
All players present before the introduction of the Intro Adventures have the option of starting them or opting out of them via a notification in the City. Be warned though... If you choose to opt out of the Intro Adventures, you will never again be presented with the option to start them, so, choose wisely.
Tasks
The Intro Adventures consist of tasks. Completing a task progresses you further through the Intro Adventures.
The First Task
Visit Duncan's House and get some free stuff!
The note the Old Man left you said to visit Duncan's House on the South Side of the City. Therefore, it is probably in your best interest to head on over there.
If you are not already at the City, you should take a moment to look at all of the links on the game's standard page layout. If you are observant, you should find two links to the City—one on the red menu bar near the top of the page, and one on the sidebar near the left side of the page. Clicking either one will send you to the City.
Once you are at the City, take a second to look at its layout. The City has four sides: North, West, East, and South. Fortunately, each side of the City is logically positioned on the page, so, finding the South Side shouldn't be too difficult. Once you have found the South Side, locate Duncan's House and click it.
Upon entering Duncan's House you immediately ask Duncan where your cardboard box is, and he tells you that it was taken by the Old Man, a tough homeless guy who runs the City. Duncan then tells you that you need to prove yourself to the Old Man in order to get your cardboard box back, and proceeds to give you five Donator Days to help you do just that.
Reward:
5 Donator Days
The Second Task
Explore the City and come back with 20 Cans.
Reward:
$400
The Third Task
Buy a weapon from the Toy Store and equip it.
Reward:
None
The Fourth Task
Start a fight with another hobo!
Reward:
None
The Fifth Task
Raise up any stat to 5 or more.
Rewards:
If speed raised to 5 → $500
If power raised to 5 → Slurpee Cup
If strength raised to 5 → Garbage Bag
If intelligence raised to 5 → $500 & Slurpee Cup & Garbage Bag
More to come.

Welcome to Hobowars!
To give you the best possible experience, here are a few tips that will make the game a bit simpler to navigate for you.
Help Tutorial
We have an excellent tutorial located at <a href="http://www.hobowars.com/game/linker.php?url=http://www.hobowars.com/help/">http://www.hobowars.com/help/</a>.
Please take a few moments to check out this link. There are tons of great tips there that will help you start the game on the right track.
Help Me!
Under "Places: Message Boards" on the left hand side of your screen, you will find a list of message boards. Each board has a different theme, so pay attention to the description under the
title. Check out the "<a href="game.php?sr=817&cmd=gathering&do=board&board=4">Outta Towners</a>" board for some FAQs about the game.
Be sure to read the stickied threads at the top of the page there.
Donator Status
If you find that you enjoy the game and want some extra bonuses (you regain "awake" faster for one)that will help you along, click "<a href="game.php?sr=817&cmd=donate">Become a Donator</a>" link at the very top of the page.
$5.00 (USD) via a secure link to PayPal will get you 31 days of donator status which you will find invaluable in your quest to be the ultimate hobo.
Making some Money
To help you make some money to get you started, try begging at the 7/11 found <a href="game.php?sr=817&cmd=711">here</a>. You can also train your stats at the <a href="game.php?sr=817&cmd=p_school">Primary School</a>,
then fight the trolley boy at <a href="game.php?sr=817&cmd=shopping">Walmart</a> to get a trolley so you can explore the city and find some cans to sell.
These and many other helpful tips are contained in the <a href="http://www.hobowars.com/game/linker.php?url=http://www.hobowarstips.com/">Tutorial</a>.
Fight Time!
Just want to start fighting other Hobos? Click on "<a href="game.php?sr=817&cmd=battle">Battle</a>" on the left hand side then "List hobos the same level as me who are alive..". That should give you a list with many pages of hobos.
At the bottom of that page you can also select what level you'd like to target also.
Gangs
We suggest you find and join a gang early on. Most gangs will help you out with weapons, armor and maybe even some cash. Some also run compeitions and other events that you may enjoy.
Check out the <a href="game.php?sr=817&cmd=gangs">Gangs Alley</a>.
Tell a Friend
Tell all your friends! Give a friend the following URL to signup from and you will earn $500 straight away and a big bonus once they turn level 10!
