I got my main frozen yet again, and the ban reason was AutoBuying, which I wasn't!

So, I have made a newbie account, but have no desire to work on another main. I just want to ear NPs now, as legit as possible (semi-legit). i habe 4 Month+ Shells, and even an Attic Account. So, should RS on my 4 Month+ Shells, or buy from Attic? I am really short of NPs, and olny have 30k or so *lawl* Do you think Image CLicks still work? It didn't, the last time I tried

[Adina]

The way I did it when I had to start a new account was play the easy games for a few days, and soon I had 100k. You said you already have 30k, so getting 70k will be cake. From then on, you can pretty much start profiting from that, but it depends on how you want to do that. If you're going about it the legit way, then good luck to you. But once you have your 100k.. you can pretty much start using Abrosia. It's a good amount of NP's to get you started on making some profit.
Hope I helped.

Gaining NP is easy from the start
it's what was in the account was what matters, np and items you bought and shit.
Start and AB from small shops that are ETS.
And also learn how to snipe in auctions, this may be more profit than restocking if you get good at it.
And resell, buy for cheap sell for profit.

[gemificus]

i only r's is small shops and i set the refresh quite high so i miss loads but the few things i do get make a decent profit,

can't wait for the plot to be over then people will buy stupid pointless things for the faeries once again, and sales will go back to normal

No such thing as semi legit. Its either your legit or your not, lol.

Well some things are legit, but are frowned upon, I guess that could be considered semi legit

[Lallard]

You're already in good shape since you got 4+ month shells. Just earn your first 100k and then AB in small shops. Then on an everyday basis try to invest on stocks (it's a good small profit if you're too lazy to get earn form games) as well as try reselling every once in a while.

I've never been a fan of ABing in magic/stamps/merifoods so I'd recommend just avoiding that so chances of getting frozen again would lower?

I just started playing neo again less than 3 weeks ago and on the end of day 2 I had about 400k or so playing just enough games to allow me to restock in the pharmacy. And I barely restocked the first day because you can't have a shop before 24 hours. Pharmacy has plenty of low rarity high stock ETS items. Just a few thousand on hand and you can start making money right away. The most expensive thing you will be buying is medicinal soap and it's only 7k or so. (Tasty Pie's are 10k but if you're playing with the newbie account you can't see those) (But then, in contrast, Magic Cookies and Herbal Scrambled eggs both stock for 1500 or less) Sure, you can make more elsewhere, but it's a great shop to quickly pad your restocking fund.

That will easily build you to the 100k mark and can switch to whatever low rarity shop you like. But since you said you had a 4+ month shell, you could just build that initial amount and RS wherever you want. Auction Sniping (as mentioned earlier) can also be great profit if you're good at it, and is only limited by the amount of NP you have.

I always grab myself a 4 month shell and play games up to around 20-40k. Then I pop open Abrosia and start AB'ing in foods at 2.5k profit. You wont be able to fit everything you grab into your shop at the end of day one, but if you do everything right you should have 80-100k worth of items/pure by your second day in. Good Luck!

I completely forgot about Pharmacy. Pharm is probably better than Neopian Foods.. give Spooky Foods a try as well.

IMO, Medicine sucks right now. I moved away from it a week ago for something else. The prices of the Medicinal Soaps that stock have increased 2K from 5K to 7K or so. Prices for them have also fallen 500NP or so. In addition, Herbal Scrambled Eggs have dropped dramatically in price. They cure the wheel of fortune disease, and since we haven't had a wheel forever now, the demand for them has fallen significantly. Prices for them have seriously halved in the last few weeks, and they've only slowly recovering.

I would definitely recommend Spooky Foods over Pharmacy, but I will say that Spooky Foods is hit or miss. You can sometimes have a great day. My first AB'd item in there was UB. Other days, I would make no profit, even with 6 hours of autobuying. 0. No items bought. Nothing. Even pharmacy resulted in a small daily profit...

[Avian]

I want to make it very clear that Im not recommending you stay in pharmacy for longterm restocking. Much better can be made in other high stock, low rarity shops. But if you price smart the stuff will sell very quickly and build you up when you have basically nothing. Since people are constantly buying medicines you can cut a few hundred off and have it sold in 15 minutes.

Other shops are better, no doubt about it. But pharmacy stuff sells so quickly you can build up from nothing in just a few hours and then go elsewhere when you aren't in dire need of restocking points right now.

[Georgina]

Tbh if you want nps, fast, and alot of them, your going to find it hard to do it Legitly.

I personaly reccomend Abing, with safe or standard Abrosia settings and if yo ucan get your hands on a good attic aber they seem to be pretty safe to use too. Ive made 1mill + a day with an attic aber startiing with like 100k.

Some stuff is hts obviously.

Theres allways reselling, that can make you money, takes alot of time though and you cant really start with 30k.

Good luck to you anyway! Hopefully the NP generator will get fixed by neo soon and peeps who need a few nps to start them off will get a boost.

[epheris]

The background shop is pretty good place to AB, IMO.

[Derriere]

I personally restock in Pharm legit cause it's just so easy
Sporkle Syrup's ets and so are the other buyables , just sell at right price but the eggs been just deflating massively.

Is it actually? I heard its terrible, and that the restocks aren't very frequent.

BG is actually fast to medium
and the UB's are pretty distinguishable from the others.

[epheris]

BG isn't the greatest place to AB, but it's a good place if you aren't an advanced member. I can generally make 200k+ in 4 hours there with the default 8-10 seconds refresh time.

I personally restock in pharmacy when short on on-hand funds. It's a decent place with rather quick profit.

Also, when starting out, I just played whatever games I could with the mentality that every point I scored was another neopoint. Got me 200k soon enough.

Starting from brand new, pharm is by far the best to get on your feet. However since the plot, eggs are pretty bleh. I made a brand new account to see how far I can go with it. First week was a little rough, but now I'm pulling about 100-200k a day with 5k profit items from books.

[Adina]

Uhh.
Whats the ID of the background shop?
I don't even know what it's called, otherwise I would've looked for it on the list in Abrosia.

You can try mixing abing and legit rsing for make it more real looking and prevent freezing.

Well, I personally have a liking for books. To each their own I suppose, and good luck with it
