    Usually about 19-24hrs
    but there is a few extreme cases.

    So just wait, thats why people use more than 1 account :p

    I would say wait at least a day. But even so, you might get RS banned a lot faster now. From my experience it's random but that's a pattern that occurs. I would advise..perhaps being more safe? :p Cuz it's not humanly possible to RS at 6 shops o_o

    Thanks everyone :)

    I have never MSABed before yesterday,
    so got absolutely no ideas of how RS ban works.

    After that I have checked some related guides and figured out soemthing important by myself
    To prevent being RS banned (or frozen of course)
    However, not sure if they are right or wrong...

    (1)ALWAYS restock at only one shop in a single account ?

    (2)ALWAYS set the refresh frequency 4-6 secs ?

    (3)To attract less attention from TNT, stop autobuying for every 60 min, and restart program after 10 min ?

    It would very nice of you helping me with verifying these :)

    In my personal experience it is possible to deviate from those three rules, depending on how you do it. More than one account is possible if you use proxy servers, though ABing on all of them at once is kinda a giveaway. Personally I use one account only, at present. I choose to use my ABer with two shops rather than just one not just for RS ban but because in the time the program takes to switch shops you may miss stuff in others, in my opinion. Most of my refresh settings are a little slower than 4-6 seconds but faster may be possible, not sure. As for the 60 minute on 10 minute off thing, I've found that unpredictability seems to help me as far as account safety goes. Rather than AB for a long time at predictable intervals I AB at/for random times, on random days, in varying shops. Consequently I tend to make money more slowly than others might, but my main account is nearing the 9ish month mark and its still standing. My first ABing account lasted about a month ABing for an hour a day in the same shops at about the same time of day. I can't vouch for this for certain but its the way I've been rolling so far and it seems to be working.

    Restock bans usually go away after a day or two, but I've heard them lasting for as long as a week sometimes o_O I generally tend to think you should switch up which shop you AB at, as long as you steer clear or Battle/Defense Magic and the Magic Shop. Those three will get you iced faster than you can say OH DAMN.

    when I legit RS, I'm only in 2-3 shops, so I'd say from now on, don't try more than 2-4, and it is likely you'll get banned more quickly from now on.

    Use multi accounts on proxies for when you get banned ;)
