Well I've gotten a lot of PMs about how to set up and use the free EC2 provided by Amazon. Prepare yourself for a terrible tutorial and a few helpful AA tips at the end

 

Futurama will set it up for you over teamviewer if you're really that desperate and lazy. I recommend doing it yourself so you can restart on a new IP whenever you want.

Step 2 - Click EC2 (Recommend U.S. East for best ping)

Step 3 - Launch instance wizard

Step 5 - Get Windows password and download remote desktop file.

right click -> get password Make sure the instance is fully launched and the checks are all green. After 5-10 minutes refresh the console. Be patient.

Save your password with copy and paste or something.

Right click -> Connect from management console and download the shortcut file.

 

Step 6- Connect.

There you have it. Double click on that, put in the password. You can set it to remember the password so you don't have to decrypt it every time.Once it loads you into the remote desktop you can disable the IE security features, download python, and run the program manager. Amazon gives you enough free time to run ONE MICRO instance 24/7 for the entire month.

Abrosia works by the millisecond. This means you can set the refresh rate and waiting times as low as 1 millisecond if you have advanced. Laura managed to dominate the attic with the settings available to non-advanced members. These are my old refresh settings, YMMV with recent action by TnT.

If you read this far into the AA spoiler good job. The easiest way to find the best AA accounts is to set minimum profit to 1 NP and wait for a restock. What you're looking for is a very fast buy time coupled with very few misses before buying an actual item. The best accounts will be capable of buying 2 items in the same restock via Abrosia. For some reason I've always had the best luck with accounts that contain underscores, i.e. shroudeds_tutorial.

 

 

Now for some helpful tips

 

• Each micro instance can run 2 program managers
• Every AA shell is different. Some can buy significantly faster than others so try a bunch until you get a good one with buys <250ms.
• U.S. East servers give the best ping to TnT servers.
• You can Right Click -> Terminate an instance. This lets you restart a new instance with a totally different IP.
• You can close the remote desktop and the program manager will still be running.

So there you have it a short, shitty tutorial on using EC2. If you have any questions post them. Please don't PM me unless it's a straight emergency or I haven't responded to a question here for more than two days.

FYI, you only get a year of EC2 for free.

[shrouded]

FYI I know that. It's a good thing I know how to get around that.

Wow, someone's a little snarky. It wasn't meant for you, it was meant for everyone else reading this because you didn't mention it anywhere.

Nooooo, people aren't supposed to know how to use EC2, that's the entire point of using EC2!

Way to kill it, thanks. Nice guide, but now it might as well leave attic redundant.

There are other advantages you can gain in the attic. It helps to have a lot of accounts so you can find the really fast shells that buy everything. You can also stop using Abrosia since the code is a mess. You can risk threading, but I think I might have killed that technique. I want attic to be fixed so legit users can have a chance. At least with MSAB they freeze people who AB 24/7 or do it in a way that makes you unstoppable. AA you can/could sit there with 3 accounts on 1 IP 24/7 with 10 threads each and buy everything in the attic.

In a way this is both selfish and unselfish, lol.

Definitely. I abused it for a really long time to gain wealth and now that I've moved on I want to ruin it so no one else has it heh.

Probably more selfish than unselfish in that case then.

I really just want the attic fixed. MSAB'ing is a problem, but attic is an even bigger problem. Make restocks random like the main shops and I'll be super duper happy *_*

Why would that make you happy?

I have the same feeling I get when you ask me if I'm survivalist.

A little less wealth domination by the few people controlling the attic right now. Most of which are following in my footsteps and just selling the items/NP for other. That's more competition for me in the NP market and an impossible to beat foe for legit users.

That sounds pretty petty to me, lol.

Well now Yung can stop asking me to make him an EC2 :]

 

Btw..FU

If ur a h8'er at least +rep because the only reason you have an AA edge is because of Laura and me B). Start looking for the next big thing friends.

 

@Waser it's petty but a lot of people do the same thing. They let public bday cracks and exploits get big so that they'll eventually be fixed.

I can guess that 80% of people on this forum are too stupid to follow a guide, so I'm not even worried.

Considering I released this and more 4 months ago and no one hoped on half the bandwagon I'd assume you're right. People don't realize the power of what is right in front of their face.
