Hello. As you can see, I'm new to this. I've never used an AB before.
I currently am using a 1 month old account, since I don't want to risk my older ones. I've picked maybe only around 10 shops, and some "lower tier" ones at that. The AB hasn't bought anything yet.
How many shops is an acceptable amount to RS at using an AB?
There are many reasons why you may not be buying items.
1. profit margin is too high (i keep mine around 2-3k)
2. your account is young.Shops may be restocking, but your account may simply be too young to see the items. Pharmacy and books are good stores for young accounts. (as you aren't an advanced member, you can't pick your shops. You'll need to make a restock list to be able to do that. We've got guides for making restock lists around here)
3. The shop is full, so it wouldn't restock.
4. The shop just hasn't restocked in the time you've been running abrosia.
