Botting General questions

[Skywalker556]

Hi guys, I have a few questions regarding botting. I have looked around on the forums for a bit and can't seem to find any up to date information that specifically answers my questions. Also if this is the wrong section to post this under I apologize in advance. I botted hunter a few years ago, but never did any large scale farming. So ill dive right into it.

Question #1

Im currently in the process of buying proxies. Is it still standard to run about 3 bots per proxy? 

 

Question #2

Once I do start botting, how many bans is it ok to get per proxy before I consider changing the ip / getting a new proxy? When I used to bot hunter, it was quite a high ban rate and took a lot of patience to get to black chins before I kicked it into full production. The method im currently looking at botting is a lot lower of a requirement, so i imagine that it will go faster, but so will the bans. But if I have to change proxies very time i get a single ban, it seems that that can get expensive fast.

 

Question #3

Are bank standing skills still a relatively low ban rate compared to more click intensive skills? Or have the ban rates picked up all across the board. For suicide botting in members, how many hours per day would you recommend to maximize profit per day but be able to last a bit longer. And are the weekends still more safe in comparison to week days?

Thanks guys!

1.

Yes most people run 1-5 accounts per proxy.
Depending on your budget and risk ratio you can split up into more proxies if you'd like.

2.

There is no set number. Once you start getting bans 'abnormally fast' on your proxy, then you should switch.

3.

There is too much conflicting info out there to be certain about anything. Some successful botters suicide bot, some people bot very carefully, and everything in between.
It's a lot of trial/error, varies by method/script, best to see what works for you personally.

Good luck.

I'd say 5 accs per proxy is enough, currently testing it myself.

I usually see people suiciding on the entire weekend (48 hours nonstop) cuz thats when Jagex apparently is out of the office, might be very profitable =]

From personal experience,

1. I don't use proxy, all botting done on home ip. Ip is static. If I really have to use proxy, it is to prevent mule chain ban.

2. Your proxy may be private/premium. Means used by you but could also mean be re-used by someone else previously. Ip are all recycled. Hence, time to switch when you are banned fast.

3. Bans are pretty intensive these days. Banwaves happens occasionally in f2p.

There are no socks6 proxies for sale. You have a choice between socks4 and socks5, and you will need to use the latter.

Thanks for all the responses guys! I think imma still try to use proxies bc i dont want my legit accounts to get chain banned. Im planning on running 3 proxies with 3 bots on each. Since im new to this ill take the bullet and do some experimenting and try and see what the ban rates are with different methods. In group one ill suicide bot on the weekend. Group two will bot during the week at about 9 hrs per day split up over the day in 3 hr portions. (i dont think this is too unrealistic for a dedicated bank standing skill). and the third group will bot purely after jagex work hours over night for a total of 9 hrs. Although this is a small sample size i feel like this will give me the best bot time to profit ratios. Ill post the results of my experiment once i get started. College midterms are destroying me rn lol

The more testing you do, the more quickly you'll gain understanding of what works and what doesn't. There are a lot of factors when it comes to success so you've got your work cut out for you.

It will be definitely interesting to follow the results your case produces good luck!

socks5 are the best?
