Everything runs fine when I don't use a proxy, but when I use a (tested and working) proxy nothing happens. It says I'm visiting the shop but it doesn't show any refreshing and doesn't make any purchases. Does it work for other people using proxies?

[jcrdude]

Big verification from me... I've made about 7 mil between 6 accounts using proxies... you just gotta get the right ones...

I make sure that the delay is definitely below 2 seconds... I usually go with less than a second if I can find it

But yeah... it works

Two questions coming from a noob

1) It won't let me change the delay in the program. It'll let me change everything else but when i hit "Apply" and come back to the settings it's set back to 8 seconds. HALP!
2)How long on average does it take for the program to buy something? It's been running for about an hour and hasn't bought anything yet.

You can't change the delay or the shop you restock in unless you are an advanced member (500+ posts). I'll let someone else answer the second question seeing as I don't actually play Neopets .

Got it. We'll it sure works. Not gonna get any big profits anytime soon because of the 8 second restriction though

That's what I have gotten so far.
Thanks to the programmer(s) who made this possible

Well, you made about 12k in about 15 minutes there, so that's not too bad. It goes better without the restictions though, I must say, lol. 8 seconds isn't bad though, that's what I use. I just run it in Stamp mostly, and things there are relatively high profit.

Thanks to the programmer(s) who made this possible

No problem.

Along with the delay, I can't choose to visit specific shops - I have to be an advanced member for this too right?
Oh ya, is the "wait delay" the refresh time in seconds? Or is it wait for haggle or to buy or something else?

Yes, you need to be an advanced member to pick your shop (if you are in database mode). If you have a manual list though, feel free to pick your shop.

The wait delay was referring to the "general" wait delay (in seconds). There are restrictions on the OCR and Haggle waits also though.

Aaah!!! Proxies that i've come across have like a 4 - 1000000 second delay

[ShadowLink64]

Timeout in the program is default set to 9 seconds (with 5 retries, so about 45 seconds of waiting if it never connects), so if it can't connect to Neopets in that time it will probably just outright die, lol.

Make sure to test your proxies to ensure that you have a good connection since Abrosia depends on a fast internet connection to work efficiently.

About the manual list - how do I create one? (In MS word? Excel?) And how do I format it so the program reads it? Do I just put in "shop #65", or would I have to script it?

Also - the general wait delay - so is it then wait 8 seconds after refresh then click on a item to buy?

There's a spot where you load the list to put the shop ID (look at "main shop settings"). All you need in the list is items on each line, like so:

Vo Codestone
Mau Codestone
Zei Codestone

etc... and save it in a .txt file. Then push the "Import" button in main shop settings to load it.

You can even make your own lists right in the program you know, and export them to .txt files.

Ahh ok! Thanks a lot Shadow! I'm gonna start AB now.

[ShadowLink64]

No, what you are thinking of is the pre-haggle buy time. These are how the times work:

General: Everything but the buy process. This is how often it checks the shop, refreshes page loads when pricing items in your shop, or taking from the till, or w/e.
Pre-Haggle Time: What you mentioned. It is the time it waits between seeing the item, and clicking on the item to purchase it.
OCR wait time: The time it takes for the program to enter a haggle amount, and click on the pet to complete the purchase.

Ahh ok! Thanks a lot Shadow! I'm gonna start AB now.

No problem, just make sure to read my clarification above about the times.

[souske88]

Alright cool! I understand everything now! So I should be okay if I use the default settings right?
Last time I used the ABer, it started at Chocolate factory, this time it was foods, each time it starts, it picks a random shop to start in for 45 mins? Or I could, if I want, restart it for it to stock in a different shop... right..?
Edit: Using a proxy is safer I assume? But I'd have to find a good one right? (sorry for the bombardment of questions xD)

[ShadowLink64]

Well, a proxy is safer if you're using multiple accounts I think. Rumours are going around that Neopets can detect proxies though, but I'm not sure how true that is.

And it will cycle through different shops every 45 minutes, yes. Restarting the program with the stop button does not guarantee that you will get a new shop though. I made sure that once it stuck with a shop, it should stick with it so people don't just keep refreshing the program to get the shop they want.

EDIT: It seems to work on and off where people can push stop and get a new shop. Try it out I suppose.

[souske88]

I tried it like twice, and it worked. But I really don't care - any shop is good as long as I can snatch a few items for profit!
Suberb ABer! Bought 3 items as of now xD

Nice. Sometimes it just takes patience. You may also have to worry about others who are online snagging items too, so you may see "Sold out." quite a bit.

I get that a lot at the Post Office. I can grab a few but I get a large streak of "Sold Out."

[ShadowLink64]

The post office is pretty good though.

I've noticed with the few stamps I've grabbed, but damn, my log just fills up with misses when I'm at the Post Office.

You don't know shit.

[souske88]

So how long per day do you guys recommand me to run the ABer? 2 hours? 3 hours? More...?

Longer if you use the scheduler properly.

note to self, have money on hand..lol
just downloaded it and I am running it now. Looks awesome and was so easy to get going. Is there an option for it to take money out of your bank if your too low on funds? I did not find one but I could have missed it.
