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 or discarded
Free pull from Hagnk's


(In-game plural: hobo code binders)

Obtained From

Hobopolis Town Square
Mind Yer Binder (30 hobo nickels)

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:
