    I'm looking for educated opinions here... among other places, I try RSing at Magic - but in a month I've gotten only two morphing pots and missed about 50. Now the way I do it, I have tabs open to about seven or eight shops open and cycle through them, so I'm sure I miss my fair share of items just by being in the wrong shop at the wrong time.... but aside from that the question is, assuming I hit the shop at the right second, is there any chance in hell of me beating anyone to else to a BGC?

    I think (from exp), its not a good idea for you to open so much shops at the same time.

    MAINLY because you will have High rate of being RS BAN~!

    I usually, when i do manual RS.

    I just focus on one or 2 shops, my max was 3, but didn't turn out that good.

    I just, keep watch of the NST, every 6 or 10 sec I refreshes.

    Been doing alright so far.

    Tips, would be:

    1. Picking the right time, usually, if you have your tab open on Food shop, refresh there, if there is restock there, then usually all other shops will follow
    10 sec before the clock complete a min, Food shop should be restock.

    2. picking the right time #2, I find it better if I RS around 1 - 3am NST, which is just 8pm my time, hehe.

    ...that's all i can think of for now.

    The food shop trick is SO OLD And not working anymore
    ALL SHOPS RANDOMLY refresh
    no connection at all.

    BM is a good shop, just gotta be fast :)

    Thanks for the attempted advice, but I've made it work for me. I intersperse pauses every now and again and believe it or not I usually go for 1 1/2 to 2 hours before an RS ban, which is about as much restocking as I can take anyway.


    And thanks SoC for the voice of support. I'll go for it. I've already started sort of a reverse collection of missed morphing potions, why not battledome items too?

    LOL... dunno what I was worried about... in almost an hour I didn't even see an item in the shop that I wanted to buy anyway.

    In other news, I missed on a high value stamp and a morphing pot. My typical RS experience with high value items is one of two things -
    1) click the captcha = Potion of Your Dreams is SOLD OUT!

    or

    2) click the captcha = waiting for neopets.......................................................... waiting......................................................... take a nap..................................................... almost done lagging............................................. You didn't think you had a chance at that did you? SOLD OUT!! AHAHAHAHAHA

    wait, I forgot, there's another one -

    3) a Baby Jetsam Morphing potion and an Orange Koi morphing potion restock at the same time, because if we can't stop the ABers, we can at least confuse the hell out of the legit restockers. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Because for the l33t rsers, it's well worth it as they hardly miss. If you're not the best rser or have a somewhat slow connection, it's not a good shop at all because that is where the best go to restock.

    I've RSed a couple MPs from Magic shop. I had to literally refresh every 4-5 seconds usually for 12 minutes between restocks, and they were still only basic MPs. Of course it took me months to finally nab one.
    I can't stay focused and keep refreshing over and over. Now, I just have the shops Bookmarked and cycle through them every once in a while, hoping for a restock.
