hobo code binder
hobo code binder

This is a hobo code binder (or Hobocobo, for short) -- a device used by hobos to keep track of the vastly complicated code of glyphs and sigils they use to communicate. And it's the cheap, ordinary kind of binder, because hobos can't afford Trapper Keepers.

Type: off-hand item
Cannot be traded
Cannot be discarded
Free pull from Hagnk's


(In-game plural not known - if you know it, please add it here)

[edit] When Used

Book2.gifImage:book2.gifHobo code binder
You flip through the hobo code binder. It contains a good overview of basic hobo code.
  • After having encountered any of the hobo code adventures:

You flip through the hobo code binder. It contains a good overview of basic hobo code, plus notes you've gathered from your experiences in <areas you learned code in>.

[edit] Notes

  • When the first glyph is found, a new section in the Quest Log opens which lists the Hobo glyph(s) you have found.
  • When the Binder is equipped, the number of hobocodes that are in it assist in the Sewer Tunnel and The Hobo Marketplace.
  • Allows the special hobo code adventures to be encountered. The hobo codes are retained through ascensions similar to the demon names. The adventures are:
