    Hey i've just returned to neo recently and i've also aquired the acheteur aber from our downloads section, i've been using it in magic and managed to grab a couple m.ps, but i really wanna get my hands on a draik egg or something with a similar profit margin and im wondering whether theres any point attempting to ab one, is merridell foods highly monitered due to the value of the eggs? are there any other shops better for getting items whose profits are are really high with an aber? or should i stick to magic? thanks =D

    Magic is already very high freeze rate.

    High freeze rate shops:
    - Magic
    - Merifoods
    - Royal Potionery
    - Battle Magic
    - Defense Magic

    Its been a long time since I've ABed in those shops though so that might not be completely accurate.

    If you're looking not to get frozen, it's small profit. If you want to ab, then transfer the money you made abing to try and keep it safe, bit profit (stamp or magic).

    Pharmacy is always good for steady profit. Items are ETS, too.

    Expensive stuff (1 mil+) have high freeze rates. That goes for most if not all shops.
    Pharmacy is a very slow shop to AB in. It restocks only a few times an hour and you'll rarely see/get the expensive items. Each restock, you'll only nag 2-3 medicinal soaps/herbal scrambled eggs.

    Well the thing about the pharmacy is that there's little difference between what an AB'er can get and what a legit restocker can.

    The good things restock in bulks of 20-30, which means you're limited most by the 5 seconds you need to wait between buys, not the split second longer it takes a human to react compared to a program. Even Cactopus Cream restocks in a group of 3, so you'll also probably get one, and only one, either way.

    If you're going to AB, you're actually probably safest at the pharmacy, because you won't be making egregious profits (I'd say 120-130k legit per hour, or 150-160k using an AB'er -- but I could be off). The real difference is that with an AB'er, you're outside shooting hoops, while the legit restockers are poring over small pictures of toothbrushes.
