Hey!

I am pretty new to this.
I have downloaded the ABer yesterday and buyed already 2 items.
Now I am wondering if there are more dangerous shops to autobuy (fast chain icing) and some not?

I guess the shops where you get just 5 - 15k profit are better than those with more profit?
But which ones are those?

Cheers.

Magic is pretty much insta-ice

[Reality]

Magic, stamp, merrifoods and maybe battle magic are shops you would have to be retarded to AB in.

[corinna]

Thanks.

What about Mystical Surroundings, The Bakery, Igloo, Bookshop and Plueshies?
Those are the most interesting shops for me.

Thanks =)

Most of them are OK, or at least I'm using them and I'm not iced yet.

I love how stupid people are.

NO shop is insta-ice if you don't have retarded settings. otherwise ANYONE buying in these shops should be iced.

until you arent an advanced member you have nothing to worry about
unless you use your own list
the original settings are very safe

Using your own list doesn't change the settings though.

Honestly, with refresh rates of 8 and buy times of around 1.5-2 seconds, you're probably fine, although as others have said, magic, stamps, etc. are better to avoid for ABing in general.

It's tough for me to get anything especially with the default settings given that my ping to neopets is already horrible.

Hey Peeps!

Thank you all.

Yea, I am just playing with the original settings.
The only thing I will do is to set up my own shop list.

What do you guys do next to the ABer when its running? Do you close Neopets completely?

If you're talking about the neopets browser window, it doesn't really matter since abrosia will log you out of neopets after a bit anyways. Personally, I just leave the computer and let abrosia do it's work without checking it until after the scheduled time is over so I can price the items it bought.

[equitatus]

Definitely stamps. You can reap massive profits but you can get iced really easily.

[Coilvect]

Either way its about how much time you spend ABing is what gets you iced.

[aneoguy]

Magic is pretty much insta-ice

ive got a krawk morphing potion from there abuying and never got iced

as long as you have sensible times you will be fine..

but yes i have had a few shell accounts iced for abuying in magic. but profits are good

all shops are risky if you have really obv times.. just play it wisely

thats why i abuy on a shell account on a different IP adress

[gritane]

royal potionery is also dangerous

[Ziz]

There are no dangerous shops, only stupid settings.

[Lallard]

I've had shells got owned while RSing tyrannian petpets (for RSing a krawk) and well just like everyone said merifoods, magic, stamps is still AB-able but in very short, controlled bursts...like getting multiple morphing potions in one day is just asking for a freeze, let alone a single rare one if bought in such a fast time.

[aneoguy]

There are no dangerous shops, only stupid settings.

i agree with this quote

[gritane]

to you what are the best settings ? =)

[Barophobia]

Sensible refresh rates like 2-4 secs, and ms delays of 0.1-0.5?

Thats for me at least, any lower and i seem to draw suspicion. My shell got banned with lower* settings rfing at NP foods, and i didnt even get anything rare. -w-.

If you're serious you probably have an awful ping since that's super low.

Dude that's hella low.

set the refresh rates at about 5-10 secs, ms delays from 0.4-1.0 range (whichever one you find to yield the most items while at the same time not draw suspicion).

If you do insist on using such a low setting do it in short periods of time.

yea I do. :| bout 200ms or so

Yea, I start the ABer and check back about 2-3hours later, let it rest for an hour or so (maybe more, to make it inconsistent) and then start it again.

What are your total buy times according to abrosia log? Even with a ping of 200ms, your settings are still quite low.
