    I haven't tried, but from what I heard, it really depends on your refresh rate. You can't have it too fast. And you can't use it too often.

    Just don't abuse the AB'er, and you should be fine...

    If you don't leave it running for hours at a time, you'll be right..

    The Magic has a very high freeze rate because if you always get everything, TNT will get suspicious. If you don't go fast though, you'll usually miss it :(

    Depending on how experienced you are...just AB on a side though ;)

    yeah..AB on a side sounds nice.. the only thing is once u open a new account u have to wait like 3 months before u can even see the good stuff...i hate how neopets makes u wait that long just to see certain items:(

    How convenient for TNT eh? It really does help curb auto-buying! Almost like they planned that.....

    Post some more, get level 1, then head over to the black market where people are perfectly willing to sell you shells. A 3 month shell will cost you ~300k NP if I'm not mistaken, but if you play it right you can easily make that up.

    ABed more than 15m from there, no ice yet. But i maintain caution by self-icing.

    Awesome, I'm considering ABing there, not sure whether to or not though, I'm still saving up for AU though because people say it's the safest, am I right in thinking that?

    That's why I'm making a few sides to let them age. They'll age in no time xD

    I'm saving up for AU too, though I'm not sure if it'll make my computer lag.
    I was thinking of getting Edge's instead, because I mainly want the AB'er ):

    I was always too paranoid to AB in magic. I did twice, each time getting 1MP, after which I decided never to step foot in there with AB again.

    I'm considering doing it on a side, though. x3

    And while I haven't tried Edge, AU is an amazing ABer. It was well worth the wait.

    I would say its a bad idea in general even not considering the high freeze rate, lots of MP are pretty HTS and the Competition is fierce. If you actually get one of the really good ones that are ets your likely to get banned.., I've gotten one of the most valuable potions you can get from there and plenty of mid-range mp's and I still don't like magic. I practically have no protection as well so idk, if I were you I would do stamp, or battle magic/defence magic (if you can get decent lists ofc)
