Hey guys, 

 

I just decided to come back to this game from a few years break and have a couple questions about this game. I was browsing through the guides you guys hosted but I feel most of them are pretty dated from how neopet is. From what I've been hearing it would seem that neopet is dead now and TNT hasn't cared as much? I noticed the user Corry been using the Abrosia at insane settings so I was wondering if I should even be cautious if I'm just going to the lower areas of foods/books/etc for low 100k~ profits per few days.

 

Basically I want to ask is if most of you are abrosiaing still at your shell accounts? I was planning to create a shell account soon and abrosiaing it since I am a bit too concerned for my main's safety. But I'm starting to wonder if it even matters since TNT seems dead not to mention I'm going to low areas and probably will manually restrock at the magic shop. 

 

PS: I left my abrosia for 6 hours and forgot to add neopoints to my account so in 2 hours it was buying with 0 neopoints

 

how fucked am I? I was shopping at the low area of foods/books/fashion place though

 

thanks lol

[GetJinxed]

Yes they don't really seem to care much. And I don't think you'll be fucked at all ^^ Just chill you'll be fine 

[Hikimaru]

You can do pretty much what you want at the moment, TNT doesn't care. I got an insane amount of trophies in low time in a 1 week old account and didn't get frozen.

[Junjie]

Yup, just try not to do that too often or anything. Not because you will be frozen, because that makes you restock banned without buying much and that's a waste.

 

Edit: And yes, am ABing on my main too myself.

I always pretty much AB on my main, Haven't had any issues. But then again TNT seems bit lazy lately.

[Corry]

Don't do what I do. It may work it may not. I don't care if I lose all my paid shells and everything.

[Lollita]

TNT is being lazy for quite some time now haha. I AB on my semi-main with insane settings and everything is still there ^^

[Tammy]

I ab on my main and it's been fine so far, I don't use insane settings like corry but I get some good stuff sometimes and I haven't been frozen yet

[Hikimaru]

I AB on my main as well, but with default settings (since I'm not advanced). I do a little profit sometimes.

[ArcticFox]

Thanks for the input guys, I'll start ABing again. I just sold a couple items from my SDB and got alot of income to start ABIng. I'm pretty excited since this is what I missed from the game, just setting up the AB and looking at the goods haha.

How long have you been on hiatus?

 

Some things I had to learn when I came back:

-Shops stock more items now and randomly clear everything (so you'll have to check multiple shops in order to know whether you're banned or not)

-AAA does not work

-Most MPs are not even worth the hassle

-Unless you really fuck up (buy an item in 0.3 seconds or something like that, it is highly unlikely that TNT will freeze you 

-Pets aren't worth anything either, so if you are saving for a paintbrush or sth, check the pound board because chances are you are almost gonna be given the pet you want

The MPS threw me off so hard. Some of them are worth 5-20k each and it was a HUGE surprise. I guess that what you get when you make this game easier and have every new exciting daily that comes out that give mps and paint brushes like hot cakes

 

But I shouldn't complain I'm using auto buyers LOL

 

PS: My auto buyer occasionally buys something that nets me negative profit. It's awkward since I set the settings to only buy items that nets me 5000 nps. sigh

 

PSS: if I toggle Profit must be X% of the item price, does it set to that X%? Or does it go X% and go occasionally higher as well?

If you want to buy one Shop at a time, you should get and use a list. To do so, under "Main Shop Settings" in the Abrosia settings, select "Use a Manual List"

 

Some AB lists can be found here: http://www.neocodex....-to-date-lists/

And here is a guide to making a list of your own: http://www.neocodex....-free-ab-lists/

 

This will eliminate the problem of buying low/no profit items occasionally, though it might take a bit of work.

[hotcoldyay]

I'm curious, too thanks for posting, as I just got back into it!

[crazybus]

Do what you want, just don't get reported.

They don't pay attention unless there's actual reports anymore. Just hide your activity, don't go nuts with SSing either, people still report impossible scores.

 

This, I've only ever been frozen because of reports. 

 

I don't think TNT's willing to cut off even more of it's dwindling user base even if a lost of us are cheaters. Unless you're being flagrant you're really fine.

[kanade]

Whatever you do, keep a low profile. I've heard that it's better to avoid the boards if you don't want to get reported (even for no apparent reason, there's some really salty people in there)

^Why aren't pets worth anything anymore? Is it coz paintbrush prices have gone down, or that customization has just become such a big thing? 

(Recently re-joined neopets after 8 year hiatus so really wanna get back up to date)

Yep paintbrush prices deflated, and pets such as draiks, krawks, those supposedly high-end pets last time had their potions deflated pretty badly as well. And I guess partly due to people not giving a crap about the site in general anymore, would like to think that most people still on neo cheats in one way or another, and it becomes increasingly easier to reach like np goals to purchase stuff to make your dream pet etc.

 

Although UC pets and like pets with good names pretty much still have value in the trading system, so yea, name>species/colour anytime now

This is too true and more people are starting to realize this. Its almost too easy now to get away with things..not that I'm complaining

[NPs]

Well I suppesed TNT was going to ruin the site anytime freezing everyone, for irrelevant reasons most times! Today I see a dead site... On old days, getting some gold trophies required you to be awake at 12am nst to get the perfect socre and such... Now you can get in the middle of the month without much work...

Ah that explains it. I have seen mentions of UC and now it makes more sense. Thanks

[xoxdaft]

Thanks for this! I just came back from a long hiatus and have been wondering myself as well. I know they used to be really strict for cheaters. 

[NeoGen]

So, if TNT arent caring much anymore - how long should I expect to wait for them to respond to a ticket about my account access to a main? T_T A month?

Email them, (support@Neopets.com I think), and also bug them on their Facebook page.

 

It's no actual guarantees but it miightt help, or so I've heard.
