I only have one acount (my main) and it is 34 months old. I've never tried ABing before, so I want to know if it is safe using only one account?

Also, how necessary are proxies? Thank you.

If you only have one account that you plan to AB with, it's not necessary to use proxies. Proxies do not prevent your account from being iced for ABing. They're just an extra layer of security that prevents your main from being chain iced if you AB from separate accounts.

As for how safe it is, ABing always carries a risk, so it's up to you to decide if it's worth the rewards. For ABing on your main, I recommend using conservative times and at all costs, stay out of Magic. That place has the highest ice rate among members here that I've seen, and at least from reading all the posts from people who AB there and have or haven't gotten caught, I can't see any discernable pattern in keeping your account safe.

Ahh, thanks a bunch.

As for staying out of magic, would I need to create a list to tell Abrosia to stay out of magic? Or is there another way of doing that?

Buuuuuut how do I get my MPs then?

Honestly I can make anywhere from a couple hundred K to 1-2 mil per day depending on my luck, and I don't AB in magic or have advanced. Slow and steady wins the race. If you really do want your MPs, I hope you spend a lot of time experimenting with times and settings on shells before you even think of trying it on your main.

As for staying out of magic, would I need to create a list to tell Abrosia to stay out of magic?

As a non-advanced member, yes you would need to use lists. I mean, generally, you're pretty safe since at non-advanced settings, you're pretty much guaranteed to miss everything in Magic. But you'd be much more effective in creating lists. To make lists, use the Item DB, select the shop you want to AB at, sort by Profit, and copy all the items that meet your desired profit level. Then use one of the programs below to format the list:

Hope that helps!

Thanks. One last question. Because I'm not using a proxy, if I get frozen, will that mean that I can't use a new account on my current IP adress?

TNT allows you to create a new account if your previous one gets frozen as long as you promise to not break the user agreement again by cheating / ABing.

No, it does not mean that.

Ahh, ok, thanks a lot guys. I guess I'll have to mess around with the settings a bit in Abrosia. I've already read the guide, I just need to try it out. Anyways, thanks for the help.

You need to use the right times and the right shops. I like using this guide because it shows you the recommended times: http://www.neocodex....-to-autobuying/
