    Not about the practice of restocking, but rather, the way items stock. For example, a r99 candychan stocked a few days ago in wintery petpets. How much time needs to pass before that item will stock again? Or is it totally random, so one could stock shortly after the first one did, or not until weeks later. Knowing how this works could help me to know when to rs in each shop for a better chance of getting a good item. Any help would be great. :yup:

    I'm pretty sure that high rarity items (r99) stock way less often than lower ones. It is still random, though.

    I know that r99's stock less frequently, but is there like a list of r99's per shop that stocks in a particular order so that you could predict the amout of time you would have to wait before seeing a specific item stock? (does that make sense?)

    No, everything is determined by probabilities...there are no set time intervals between appearances.

    Completely random, I once saw a desert ixi morphing potion (r99) stock two restocks in a row.
