I've been told by different people that at 3 months you are able to see all rarity items and others have said 4 months. Does anyone have the right answer?
Its 4 months. 12 hours - Post on the neoboards / join guilds / edit description / neomail 24 hours - Visit dailies 48 hours - Visit Coltzan's Shrine 48 hours - Do the Neopets magazine word scramble 48 hours - Play Test Your Strength 3 days - Submit a game score into the High Score Table 4 days - Collect Advent Calendar prizes 1 week - Vote in the Beauty Contest 10 days - see up to r84 in neopian shops 16 days - see up to r89 in neopian shops 1 month - see up to r94 in neopian shops 1 month - Collect monthly freebies 3 months - See up to r99 in neopian shops 4 months - See all rarities in Neopian shops. (some r100 items restock) 4 months - Visit the Hidden Tower 49 months - Visit the Elite Boutique at the NC Mall
Duckied already said that 4 months can see r100, and 3 months can only see r99. However, that's hardly a noticeable difference because if you're abing (or legit rsing) the likelihood of seeing a r100 item is very very low. When buying ab shells, I always go for 3 monthers because there's such a small difference in effectiveness for a pretty big price difference. I've been abing for close to three months, and I have never even seen a r99, much less a r100.
using the AU 3.3 with the right setting, you can pretty much go for eternity I abed for almost 5 months with 8 accounts with the same settings and never add a problem once. I made a mistake 3 weeks ago (I used a different PC for abing and forgot that I wasn't on my real one, I used the default setting ) and they caught all my accounts. But again, that was my fault. Even with conservative setting, I'm able to get around 1 mils a day.
I never said I hadn't been frozen. I have been several times, using almost every type of aber (AU, igloo, GM), but they were all mostly from mistakes. Like Tharoux said, with good settings, you can go forever without being frozen. The tricky part is finding those settings.
