I'm a little confused about the settings under AAA,

my Attic page delay is set at 1.0 - 1.5

Attic AB is (past the minute) 52 to 59

Main Shop AB-ing DISABLED

From my understanding,
1) When AAA restocks, it ALWAYS restocks at 52/53 seconds past the minute
2) By my settings, Abrosia will FIRST refresh at AAA at 52 seconds past the minute, buying any valuable items
Hence, it should attempt to buy any item that restocks at 52 seconds

This is my log last night:
Spoiler



Why does my log shows the attempt always at 55 seconds?

And why did it attempt to buy even past 59 seconds?

What exactly is attic page delay setting for?

Thanks in advance for answering my questions!

    IIRC, the logs are showing when Abrosia got the sold out message. I'd question your machine's clock unless you have huge latency because I wouldn't expect anything past :00

    The attic timer uses the NST clock on Neopets for maximum accuracy. The log uses your system time. The two are not necessarily the same. Also, as Cript said, that is when Abrosia has received the buy confirmation page. The item was actually bought at a time sooner than that.

    Attic Page delay tells Abrosia to refresh in the attic every x seconds after the first NST second you specify.

    Also, I have been told that restocks in the AAA can happen sometime after 52 seconds, which is why the second range is larger.

    I've also had high end items stock at as early as :48 seconds ;) I just set mine to refresh from :45-:05 (just in case) and it seems to really pay off.

    Wait, so the AAA does not fully restock at 52 seconds, but can restock gradually over a few seconds?

    someone explain this log:

    Not just can, always does. Restocks are always staggered.

    Yep, like Cript said, you can get a restock at say :52, then another smaller one could come along at say :56 or :01 hence why its best to keep your refresh time bracket between :45 and :05 ;)

    Change your attic page delay to 0.1-0.2 ;) That should help a little bit.

    that means refreshing every 0.1-0.2 seconds? wouldn't that be high freeze rate? I'm currently using 0.5-1.0

    You have to find that balance between safety and success. Find the amount you want/need to make, find the settings that are needed for that and decide whether it's worth the risk.

    I appreciate the post Strategist as I just changed to 45 to 05.  I also ran it four hours today and missed every single item. Is it best to use an AAA List?  Just curious where I can search for items that would go in there to make a list up or just go randomly?  Anyway changed the times so hope that helps me some.I just AB in AAA now and want to get my five items a day and then that's it :)
