From your personal experience and profit, which is better to constantly AB in? AAA or MS? Also, how much np do you need on hand to Attic AB?

Just let it be known, after your 5th buy from the attic, you won't be able to buy anything more until the next day.

AAA hands down, you need the speed for it, though.

Do both. It won't hurt.

 

Unless you're dumb with your times.

 

Then freezing may hurt.

Someone really needs to write an AAA guide :l

I never see (much less buy) anything that sells for more then 200k.



And if I do, it's VHTS.

200k on hand to restock the attic daily. I never miss anything due to not having enough on hand.

My buy times range from 156ms to 247ms and my accounts are still alive and kicking.

Strat; I've made 3 mil in the last week in AAA and using the MSAB. Should I stop using one to reduce my freeze chances?

I've found that I get frozen quicker if I use both, however, it comes down to how risky you AB.

A lot of people do MSAB but many people say the freeze wait is pretty high. My account is only 2 months old should I be doing MS?

As your account is under 3 months you will only be able to see certain rarity items in shops. You definitely cannot use the Attic side of things anyway (account has to be 36 months+ to be able to get access to it) so yes, MSAB is your only option (as well as the igloo ab'er part of Abrosia).

The freeze rate is only high when you use stupid settings. Have a read around on here at some of the guides and do a bit of trial and error with your settings and see what that brings you :)

These are my settings Wait Delay: 4.8 - 7.0, Haggle: 0.1 - 0.2, OCR page delay: 0.5-0.5

I've been using these settings 6 hours overnight in stamps no ban so far, but these delays seem a bit fast, should I make it slower?

What is the freeze rate for default anyways?

@knebulite: Those settings don't seem too bad, although your haggle is a tad too fast (IMO). Make a bit more of a range on your OCR too. Do like 0.5-0.7 or something like that. What sort of buy times do you get with those settings? Also, I hope you don't AB for 6 hours straight. I tend to do a stint of about 1-1.5 hours at a time. Your refresh rate is fine btw.

@ Habanero: Very low :) (as long as you don't leave the ab'er on 24/7 obviously)

I AB overnight, so I guess I AM testing my luck

Yeah, I would advise against any form of AB'ing for longer than 2 hours at a time. Just think, would it look human-like to you if someone was sitting there refreshing pages for 6 hours straight with no breaks? Simple answer, No. TNT will flag that shit in no time. But, in saying that, if you don't give a shit about the account you're AB'ing on, then by all means, go for it ;)

I'm using a 6 year old account to AB on, generally sitting in Igloo+Attic for 5-12 hours per day.  Doing it since May of last year and nothing has happened.

 

Maybe it's because I use somewhat realistic settings/profit margins, and often use my internet at the same time so there's a bit of lag to miss items with.

Meh, I've been transferring all the NPs I make into my friends account. Hopefully she doesn't get banned along with me
