When Used

• Without having learned more about the hobo code:

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>.

Notes

• The binder must be equipped to encounter the glyph adventures.
• Although the exact mechanics are unknown, hobo code adventures which grant glyphs are believed to be superlikely adventures with a high rejection rate. They are not affected by Combat Frequency modifiers. Clara's bell and stench jelly have no effect on encountering them.
• 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.
  • A Left-Hand Man holding the binder will help you navigate the marketplace, but will not help you pass the Sewer Tunnel tests.
• Allows the special hobo code adventures to be encountered. The hobo codes are retained through ascensions similar to the demon names. The 20 adventures are:
