If anyone would be so kind as to help answer some questions for me i would be very grateful. Regretably I'm a bit of a n00b at Autobuyers, and their programs, but I'd love some help, pretty please.
I was wondering these things:

• When I am using ambrosia, I was trying to change the settings so that it only bought things in certain shops, but I can't select the option/tick the tick at all. It just won't let me. How do I fix this?
• I was also wondering what browser sync is, because I see it in all of the programs in this site, but I don't understand it.
• And my other question is to do with accounts. I am wondering: If I autobuy in a side account with a different email adress to my main, and then send profits/items to my main when I want them, will I get chain-iced if they figure out (heaven forbid) that I'm autobuying? Or should I have a third account, sort of like middleman, which will make it "harder" (mainly just less incriminating) to my main account, that I can use to transfer my things from my side where I am autobuying?

Thank-you in advance to anyone who is able to help!

1) You have to be an advanced member to use that function. You can either buy your advanced membership or you get it automatically once you reach 500 posts on the forums
2) I don't know - It's not available on Mac OS X at the minute so I haven't have a chance to try it out
3) I don't use a "middleman" when transferring items - I just move them over to my main slowly and in small amounts. I usually sell everything in my shop/on the trading post and buy Baby PBs with the NPs and "gift" one or two brushes to my main every week/two weeks.

For your first question
Since you are not an advanced member you only have access to the limited abrosia.

[yoongguk]

Hope that helped

[Acheron]

You can't change that setting yet until you become an advanced member. You can still use a manual list if you wanna select a particular shop. A list can be easily created using codex item database.

I'm not too sure on the browser sync function since I personally don't use it, maybe someone else can help you there.

Oh, I also suggest you AB only with your main since it seems quite legit. If you are going to AB on a side, remember that transferring NPs is a bitch so be careful. Also, you will need an elite proxy if you are using a side. Sloppy proxies = Chain ice

[carrice]

Your third question
First of all never forget to use a proxy while using abrosia with more then one account
If you send all your profits at a time you have a pretty good chance of being frozen

No
You have to be an advanced membe to create a list from codex database

Thank-you everyone for helping me answer my questions. I have another now. Please don't think I'm an idiot, but, what's a proxy?

No, you don't have to. -___-

Go to the item database. Select your shop. Order by profit, descending. Items per page, 100.

Press ctrl+a and ctrl+c, paste it to notepad. Just delete out all the unnecessary info until you get something like this.

Kiko - Fu
Chocolate Ghostkersword
Sloople Flower
Chicken Roll
Heart Cactus
Rock Tree
791 NP
Profit: 83 NP


Golden Cobrall Glove
791 NP
Profit: -29,525 NP


See? You need to delete the profit part and the cost of the item part.


Edit: Georgina has a fantastic guide to proxies.

It's all explained here. At the very basic level - a proxy keeps your IP address anonymous so TNT can't find you

It mainly prevents chain icing but if you are only using your main, it prevents you from being ip blocked. You can google 'fresh elite proxy' daily and find a few decent ones but obviously buying proxies would yield better results.

Sorry another questions, other than the "what is a proxy?" question. Auto-buying seems quite legit? I mean, I've never really used it, so how do you suggest that i make it seem as legit as humanly (pardon the pun) possible? What sort of settings should I be going for, do you think?

it prevents you from being ip blocked.

Sorry, and another. What is "ip blocked"?

Ps: Thank-you everyone for being so extreemly helpful! You're all so very patient! If i'm becomming too much of a pain, please say so.

You probably won't be banned with the basic setting. Just don't ab 24/7. I personally do 1.5hr on and 2hr off. Just use common sense and think whether is it possible for a normal person to sit there for X hours and refresh every 8 secs. If you are talking about buytime, I find 2500~4000ms reasonable. Anything below 2 sec is pushing it. Also, try to avoid battle&defense magic, stamps, magic and meridell food. High profile items are highly to draw suspicion.

Edit: From Georgina's thread,

"IPs are basically like name tags, and are unique to your Internet connection. So no 2 IP addresses will be the same."

IP blocked is basically what it sounds like. You won't be able to access neopets with your IP.

Being a non-advanced member the default settings for abrosia are pretty safe. If you are patient enough you will eventually get something good.

[yoongguk]

Here is pretty much all the info on Abrosia you will need for main shop ABing - I used it when I first started. I haven't changed the settings since and I'm yet to be frozen.

Gosh, that sounds horrible! I don't want to be blocked! So what happens if I want to start Autobuying on my main account now that I've started autobuying on my side. I only started this afternoon. Can I just stop autobuying on my side and start on my main instead?
And also, the only real reason I want to autobuy is because I want a cybunny morphing potion/transmogrification potion. I'm really quite broke if I buy it from the tp, and I thought that either restocking would increase my profits, so it would be more affordable, or I could simply snipe one from the magic shop. Do you think I'd be banned if I sniped one from the magic shop using ambrosia? Even if I stopped autobuying after that?

First of all you can never get the potion until you arent advanced member
Its actually called abrosia

As long as you don't do anything suspicious on your side, you will be fine if you switch over to your main. It's hard but possible to grab a mp without advanced but it basically boils down to luck. I'll advise you to start abing in food/books/bakery, you get the gist, and sell them in your shop to save up and purchase a cybunny morphing potion.

To above: I also made the mistake of calling it ambrosia the first time. XD Whatevs, greek mythology is cool

It is possible I know somebody that AB 3 LEV with standard settings..... anyway you can stop ABing on your side at any time and start on your main. However if you havent ABed before I wouldnt recommend worrying about messing with settings.

Actually a non advanced member can never snipe a mp
When i came to codex i tried it for like 2-3weeks all i got was misses
So its right to say its impossible to get a mp with such slow settings

Not true for many reasons. It depends on your latency also instead of just abrosia settings. Also, if the program refresh at the right moment, you can get the item. Draik eggs can be grabbed at like 3000-4000ms, especially if you avoid high traffic hours.

Man don't listen to this guy. Yea he may have tried for 2-3 weeks but Luck wasn't on his side like we've been saying in the previous post you need. Even with advanced you still need luck.

You are correct about getting a item but the chances are extremely low
With all the people abuying it has gotten very hard to grab somthing worthwhile
And in mp there is alot of competition

[Acheron]

Agreed. Still, be careful when handling items worth millions. There are many report happy people lurking around on neopets.

Actually, you're wrong. Settings doesn't mean everything. Autobuying is determination of speed of your internet connection to the server, the settings used, and the time the item spawns, and the time where the autobuyer notices the item (Such as if the item spawned and you just refreshed for 4 seconds). I'm using standard settings now and was able to get a Cloud Wocky MP.
