I've tried these settings

General Wait   4.1-8

Ms Pre-haggle 0.4-0.9

ORC Delay 0.7-1.1

 

Shops: 1,3,4,5,7,13,14,15,16,30,37,41,58,68,86,98,108 (also tried pure default)

45m shop switch.

 

Strangely enough, even as an advanced member, my Abrosia page has just shown  (repeatedly)

 

2013-01-28 07:35:55 - Abrosia MSAB Started.

 

And that's about it, not a single peep out of for two hours. 

 

My ping is 5ms,  

DL speed is 32.36 MBS

Upload is 32.01 MBS

 

or if contacting a server on the West coast, 

168 ping

15.58 mbs DL

5.51 mbs upload

 

Perhaps It might be a simple matter of luck, but at the very least, It would be nice to see abrosia report that it Failed to buy something, as opposed to simply not finding anything at All.

 

Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

Just one purchase... Just One...

What's your internet connection like? Can you do a run from speedtest.net and post the results here?

[archfiend39]

I re-tried one connecting to close to UC Berkley

 

Unless that's garbage, and my own comp (an Asus G73S) is also garbage, I don't quite see where the issue is coming from. 

It might just end up being plain bad luck Abrosia can't even find a refresh.

whats your profit margin set to? also some of those shops clear out so that might be another issue

[archfiend39]

I set my profit margin on main shops to must be greater than 100

and on the AAA, to 5000. 

Currently, a new update, my Abrosia only has this

2013-01-28 10:06:04 - Abrosia MSAB Started.

and is visiting shop 30. 

I'll wait for an hour and see if I get any beautiful (Ding) sounds. 

Just a little worried I don't even see failed bids to buy yet.

[nothereorthere]

30 is spooky foods and that's kinda a junky shop for me personally. but just to clear something up set your profit to 1 and see if it buys anything and if it does post the the buy time.

Are you using a proxy?

[archfiend39]

Not using a proxy, I'm pretty careful with my Abrosia buy times, only about 20 minutes each interval, 3-4 intervals a day. 

I set the profit margin to 1 np. 

The accounts 4-ish years old, no problems there.

Is there any way this is a program related error as opposed to plain bad luck?

 

I might just be missing the restocks

 

There is also the small issue that sometimes, the (what is Abrosia doing) on the bottom left corner of the program disappears. (perhaps that might be connected) 

 

I'm pretty patient as far as it goes, but I have faith in the Abrosia program, just not seeing anything prettier than how much I've made on Round table Poker.

How many items are in the shop at any given time? If its ~24 then of course you won't buy anything, due to the shop being full/not restocking.

Although I see you have changed your profit margin to 1np now so you should be buying almost anything from the shop in that case.....

[archfiend39]

I found a small problem, as it turns out, some of these shops have 3-4 rows. 

Ah, so I suppose the first thing as an advanced member, I should note which shops will Actually restock, 

 

I'll keep it posted when I find my first working Abrosia hit.

[Strategist]

Even so, if you had actually changed your profit margin down to 1np you would still be getting buys. So are you?

[archfiend39]

No, none at all, this time I'm visiting Shop 51, Sutek's Scrolls,  Uploaded a list taken from neocodaq page, 

Been running for 20 minutes, nothing aside from

I made sure they had less than 24 items

[Strategist]

Do you have premium (on neopets) by any chance?

[archfiend39]

Yes I do actually. Is that the reason why it won't work?

[Strategist]

Try turning the premium bar off in your site preferences

[archfiend39]

Turned it off, Is there anything else I sh

holy shit. Thank the lord, 

 

 

 

You Mr. Moderator have solved my problems

 

That exact moment I typed sh, was when the beautiful Ding happened.

 

No more problems, thanks for dealing with morons like me!

Happy to help, it's ok, we're all new to this once If people like yourself didn't ask the questions, I'd be out of a job XD

Glad you got it working, remember to change your profit margin now otherwise you'll buy everything in the shop lol

[archfiend39]

Perhaps it would be prudent  to write somewhere on specific programs like Abrosia, that the Premium member bar interferes with it, I've also noticed cheat doesn't work very well either. 

I'm sure it's on the forums somewhere, but a bit of heads up wouldn't hurt.

[Strategist]

It would be ideal to have it in the program under the start button, something that says: '*be sure to disable your premium bar before running this program'

That's a great idea until we get an actual fix in place. Can you pm this suggestion to sl?

Sure mate, will do
