Sorry guys and gals, Im new here and semi new to the ABuying world. I have made a few searches and sadly come up with nothing. Im kinda scared to run the Abuyer without fully understanding some of the settings, or without getting a little advice as to what i should be running settings at in order to set myself up to be successful. Any help would be much appreciated. And again, im sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

http://www.neocodex....68-supersystem/ - Here is an awesome post that shows you the statistics of how to use an AB right. Any settings would be safe unless you're buying like 10 items per ten seconds.

As recommended don't put OCR haggle below 1 second. Basically be careful of running Abrosia on too long.
Don't let on overnight or atleast 12 hrs a day. High profit shops can also be dangerous been trying Magic lately and it's pretty safe.
I personally wouldn't go lower than 3 seconds on refresh rate just because of the higher chances of being RS Banned and so on.

Other than that ABing is pretty safe. Just don't use ridiculous times that'll get you suspected and caught.
So good luck ABing ! And hope you'll like it here. (:

There are a lot of questions covered in the 100+ pages of Abrosia's support topic. There's a link to that from Abrosia's download page.

If you're new to Abrosia I would recommend leaving the settings at their default values until you begin to get an idea of how fast your buys will be, what shops are low/high-risk, low-profit/high-profit, etc. These default settings are quite safe and do an excellent job of making the AB'er look as if it was human. For future reference though, these are what the settings mean:

• General Wait Delay: Refresh ranges. (If you set this to 5-11 and then the program will refresh every 5-11 seconds)
• MS Pre-Haggle: Amount of time the program waits/takes to put in a haggle price to the shopkeeper.
• OCR Page Delay: Amount of time the program takes to 'find' the Neopet hidden in the picture. (The one displayed below the haggle box while purchasing in the shops)

As for the haggle options, just leave those alone. They won't help you at all.
As for the 'Item Management' settings, I've always had these all disabled so I can't help you much in that area.

Just let me know if you have any more questions.

EDIT: The 'super/system' thread linked to above me is fucking amazing. I recommend giving that a start until you have a good amount of NP. It works quite well.

Yea that was laid out really well , very informative.. one more question i guess.. when i set the profit gauge, is that limiting me to just that much or is it setting the base standard?

He's paid subscription it seems. He's already an advanced member.
And yeah try Scot's supersystem thingy. I haven't personally tried it but since he's done quite
some work and even showed statistics and other collected data and testimonials it looks good ! Good luck.

You could always purchase your subscription.

Depending on what you do with Neopets, it can be well worth it.

Didn't notice he was advanced. <.<

I've fallen back on the super/system after being chain iced and left with nothing, it nets you at the very least 100k a day. Usually quite a bit more.

The base standard. If you set it to 5k, Abrosia will only go after items whose profit is 5k or more.

Abrosia also prioritizes the highest profit items during a restock. So if something restocks worth 7k profit, and something else worth 300k profit, it will go after the 300k item first.

Ahhhh Perfect, Thank you. Thats a sweet feature. Prioritize FTW lol .. I feel stupid for asking the first part of that question though lol.. My bad, did look at it hard enough. but still very useful answer.. Thanks Mate!

Is this the case with single shop lists as well? I was wondering because it went for a yellow Meerca MP before going for a Draik MP.

[iomega]

if you're using your own list then it goes from top to bottom.
So you must've had the Meerca MP listed before the Draik MP

Wow didn't know about that
