Lately I've had some spare time on my hands. I wanted to practice learning some more ruby or perl so I thought I could write a program for you guys.

So I'm wondering what the main autobuyer is. What's the one that people use the most? Or are there multiple ones at all?

And if this is something that the np community would be interested in. What kind of features would you want?

[Wil]

I'm not sure but I'm pretty content with the Aber Abrosia offered here on Neocodex. I think plenty of people would like a Negg Feeder or SDB price checker application.

What's a negg feeder?

And try to understand, if I'm gonna be testing any of these programs I need access to the stuff on neopets website. I don't even have an account yet =P

A negg feeder relies on the concept of keeping a pet starving. When your pet hits starving, you are able to feed it roughly every 68-70 minutes and it will permanently remain starving so long as you never feed it at shorter intervals. This is the most efficient method to negg training a pet's stats.

Man food bans are the most cruel stuff on earth

[Wil]

If you need an account I'd be willing to part with one of my spare ones.

[Kido]

I think the current AB'er works fine like Wil said.

I like the SDB price checker idea.

A negg feeder would be cool too but I don't really use neggs.

What we really need is an Auction Sniper.

[Puppetmaster]

A usershop autobuyer would be nice too

[Wil]

I don't know about the Auction Sniper. I think the ice rate would be pretty high.

Maybe a clickable avatar nabber. You know, something that gets you all the clickable avatars without having to look for them yourself.

SDB price checker is the first thing that pops to mind.
Second would be an auction sniper

If you have all the URLs you can use the NP Generator to cycle thru them

The click able avatar idea is kinda useless imo......and the np generator stopped working didn't it? o.0

Auction sniper peaks my interest. Probably wouldn't use it since I can't think of a way this won't get us banned but hey I'm interested at least

[Wil]

Huh. Didn't know that. Never used the NP generator though.

Maybe a Poker Table player? Or is someone working on that?

[Melchoire]

The consensus seems to be that an autobuyer isn't needed.

But what's an SDB pricer?

Edit: that's another thing, don't just assume I know what a program does

[Ziz]

An auction sniper would be kick-ass.
However it is pretty risky using them because of the high freeze rate

[rizler]

agree with Kuro 100% was going to say auction sniper too or a SW sniper

and the main ABer everyone uses is Abrosia all good i have no complaints to be honest

only the neomail glitch but i heard they are working on that ../../public/style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif

It's kinda like NeonAP, but instead of your shop it's your safe Deposit Box

[jcrdude]

But what's an SDB pricer?

Edit: that's another thing, don't just assume I know what a program does

Safety Deposit Box: Where you keep all the items when you don't want to keep them on hand (like any MMO bank).

The pricer should be able to load all the items in your SDB, then figure out what they are worth, either by looking them up on the Codex IDB or looking them up via the shopwizard.

NOTE: I've tested an Alpha version of this that iargue was working on :3

[Boggart]

shouldn't you know what's in your safety deposit box ?

[Wil]

an SDB price checker would in theory; be an application that goes through your SDB, checks the price with the neocodex database and gives you information regarding the price of the items inside.

EX: I have an old item, SDB checker says it's 45K based on the neocodex database, and gives me the price it could possibly sell for.

i had a SDB Pricer before it was good except for one thing was outdated and didnt give current prices

Features it had
told you amount of UBs you had
Lets you choose what items you want in your shops and prices for you
you can pick how many items or which items you want pricing
the program i had only used the JN IDB unfortunately
would let you pick lets say i want all items under 50k in my shop
would let you price only items with certain rarity eg r99/r100/r90 etc
dont think there was anything else
oh and it took quite a while getting the info i had approx 500 different items and over 2000 in quantity and it took about 30mins + to price them all

[Boggart]

I never found them useful. Ther'er a few GM scripts out there floating around, but SDB prices just make me think of people who hash accounts and want to quickly see what items are worth stealing before self-icing

but that's just me *cough*

[iomega]

shouldn't you know what's in your safety deposit box ?

I've been hording stuff in there since day one. I recently did a search and found out i have a ton of codestones, PBs, morphing potions...
sometimes i put my UBs in there and then completely forget about them ...

Yep, I forget what's in there, too. Sometimes I stick UB's in there to protect them and forget all about them until I go into my SDB for some other reason.

It's like when you find money in your jeans that you forgot about. It was your money all along, but somehow it feels as good as if you just found it on the street

[Melchoire]

Alright an SDB pricer seems do-able. Once the items have been priced where do I save the prices?
