Intelligence

Your Intelligence stat is arguably the most important of all when training your hobo. Whether you are a beggar, fighter, or hybrid, intelligence has an effect on nearly every aspect of improving your other stats. In addition to increased gains in training, you will also see higher gains in experience during fighting and begging and the ability to sell your cans at the can depo for a higher price.

Training Intelligence

To begin your training, one of the schools located in the first city is recommended. You are able to use the primary school until you reach level 10, high school from levels 11-24 and the University once you reach level 25.

Although there are many theories as to which school is faster, the general consensus is that the University is the best place to train your Intelligence, as it gives bonuses depending on the score you get from the puzzle.

Benefits

There are many benefits to training your intelligence before training your other stats. Below is a chart that outlines the percentage increases based on your intel amount:

Area	Benefit	Stat plateau	At 1,000 Intel	At 2,500 Intel
Experience from Fights	+10%	Every 50 Intel	+200%	+400%
Begging Amount	+10%	Every 50 Intel	+200%	+400%
Stat Gains from Training	+0.015 (every 10 "T")	Every 100 Intel	+0.15	+0.3
Can Depo Sale Value	+5%	Every 50 Intel	+200%	+300%
Arena and Parking Garage	+10%	Every 50 Intel	+200%	+400%

As you can see, while there is large benefits to increasing your intel above 1000, the percentage increases do slow down.

• From 2 to 1500 intel, every 50 intel gained increases experience, begging amount, can value and arena experience by 10%. For every 100 intel, you increase your base stat gain at the university by 0.015.
• Starting at increments over 1500, you will see an increase of 10% on experience, begging amount, can value and arena experience for every 100 intel gained. You will also see an increase in base stat gain at the university of 0.015 for every 200 intel.

Intel Beyond 1000

There is much benefit to increasing your intel beyond 1000, and many ways to achieve that.

Capture The Flag

For a cost of 30T, you can essentially have one smart bread every day with little effort. Once unlocked after mission 6 in Canbodia, you can find the capture the flag arena in the Canbodia Map, specifically on the beach.

A common strategy in CTF is placing the 1 at the front and just moving it back and forth until an opponent piece is next to it, allowing you to capture it easily. Continue doing this until almost all of your opponent's piece are gone and none are moving. Once that is the case, the ones that are left are either a trapped piece, a bomb, or the flag itself.

Exploring the Jungle

The jungle is located in the Canbodia Map. Exploring the jungle costs 1T for each step and it will take a total of 55T to reach all clearings where you can possibly find a Smart Bread.
