I've been reading around the forum and I see some post mentions places like the Magic Shop which I should avoid ABing.

 

What are the reasons for this and what other shops should I avoid?

[Nonexistent]

Probably post office as well, I think it's because TNT monitors them more often than food shops, as the former would carry higher valued items

[Kratos]

Royal Potionery I think

Post Office and Magic. I've been frozen twice whilst ABing at Post Office and once at Magic. The only other place I got frozen for abing was at Kayle's Potions. The longest period I've ABed without getting frozen is 4 months at both Magic and Stamps however I did it on a main account and only AB'd less than 3 hours a day and that account got iced for inappropriate language so if you are smart you can get away with ABing at both those shops just don't run insane buy times and don't leave the ABer on for too long.

Stamps, Magic, Royal Potionery, Tyrannian Petpets, Meridell Foods.

So basically TNT monitors some shops more than others and the ones monitored or often the ones that can stock really expensive items?

More or less because ABers would be more inclined to AB at those shops due to the high profits. (10m+ in tyrannian petpet, Draik eggs in Meridell ect.)

I think TNT watches closer rarity 98/99 items, not necessary the store. I notice over the years I only get iced when I buy something like that!

What buy time were you running at the two shops?

[woah23]

If you are running too slow at these 2 shops,you pratically get nothing as there is alot of competition. I used to AB at stamps and bought things at around 1600-1800ms.I stopped after 2 months there i suppose... Havent got frozen yet, den again, do expect alot of misses if you ab at these 2 shops. Look for other shops to AB in. Much much safer I assume.

I do it at the stamp shop. If you set the profit to 2k, its not too bad because the stamps are surprisingly fast selling. Of course if people want big profit then reasonable ms won't buy you any item at all.

I only avoid post office and magic

This.  Haven't been frozen for ABing.

[xintervine]

I thought also BM and DM?

[SSreturner]

How often do BM and DM restock some decent stuffs? It seems like PO and magic restock UB much more often...

[blackmanx]

Restocked at the Post Office once last week for a good few hours without any problems and got myself a nice UB Stamp.

 

I guess even if the chances are high nothing is for certain of getting frozen

[ceterisparibus]

I've ABed in Magic, and never been frozen. [for ABing that is] The key is don't AB more than 20 minutes at a time, and take several hour breaks between those twenty minutes. same goes for post office. The other shops however you can set for a good 30-45 minutes. If you go over that it's at your own risk, and of course, use realistic buy times. :3 hope that helps!

Isn't that quite conservative through? You'll be missing out on alot of good stuff

I was doing about 6 hours in magic and stamp daily, above 2000 ms, frozen after three weeks. so maybe it's better to be conservative.

[Faintingcow]

Magic shop, I hear its a high freeze rate, also thats where I AB

[blackmanx]

Since I'm non member I don't get to choose where the AB restocks at.

 

Though a week ago my AB was doing Stamp shop and I got a nice UB Stamp.

 

Haven't had a problem since I did so I guess frequency also matters.

You get to choose your shop if you use manual lists.

[blackmiracle]

Well since im using the free one, whenever it ABs in magic shop (about once every two weeks?) i just leave it run till it manually switches shops. So far haven't been iced~ and bought a nice potion worth 1m+
