I know this was mentioned before on another topic...but never really answered my question and didn't want to revive a 2 month old thread.

 

So lately i have been wondering about my buy times... i have buy times around "Bought XXX: XXX NP in 1981ms"

 

I have done some research on normal buy times and found that you should not autobuy items in less than 2second..or else there is a high chance you will be flagged...most of the ppl have buy times around 2.5sec-3.5sec in other forums (i assume they prob use a different ab than abrosia)

 

However, based on this ab guild:

http://www.neocodex....-to-autobuying/

It mentions that a buy time (total) of 1.5second+ is considered slow, which contradicts what many ppl in different forums say.

 

1.I was wondering which one is more reliable (this guild or 2.5+)

 

2.If the 2 second+ neopets care about is the TOTAL autobuy time (Pre-Haggle + OCR) or just based on OCR.

 

3. Also, I was wondering in the autobuying log for abrosia, is the "1981ms" only the OCR buy time or actually the total buy time for MS Pre-Haggle + OCR..i know in setting it mentions only the OCR delay is factored into logged buy time but i just want to make sure i understand this properly..does it mean my total actual buy time is 2981 assuming my prehaggle is 1sec instead?

Thanks.

The 1981 is the OCR and Pre-Haggle combined. I feel like that is a safe time. In almost five years here I have never been frozen for ABing (knock on wood) and all of my times are around 1900ms and lower, so that should be fine IMO.

I have gotten away with lower buy times, just don't ab stamp or magic.

ok interesting i always thought log was just ocr apparently not, thanks alot!!

[s2_yan]

just curious how risky would it b if i use those times to buy in stamps?

[Devoid]

Roughly 2500ms+ is pretty safe while not being way too slow. But any way, as people have previously stated, ABing in stamps is as risky as it can get, magic is a level under stamps. The key is to humanize it.

ic, i guess i have been doing it wrong...been buying in stamps with this time almost every day for 4-5 hrs.

 

I'll prob ab somewhere else and visit stamps like once a week.

If you stay away from the most dangerous shops for most of the time in a week, and limit it to say, once or twice (for less than 4-5 hours, with breaks) a week on stamps, your freeze rate should be significantly reduced.

i go hard in stamp overnight on two accounts. been doing it for 2 weeks straight on multiple accounts no proxy. buy times are 1500-2500. perhaps im getting lucky or it is mainly based on buy times. i havent gotten an 98 or 99 stamps so maybe it depends on what items you buy?

I don't think it matters what items you buy. But if you do happen to nail a really really expensive item you might just get flagged, if your buy times were too fast.

same here except i gotten some r90 -98 stamps with all buy times 2-2.5sec, but no ice..prob b more smart about abing now...if i can survive til end of the month im good

it's better if you create some spare shells beforehand so by the time you get frozen your shells would have aged.
