Shop Restocking Times

Wed Feb 16, 2005 12:31 am

Does anyone know when any particular shop restocks? Like what second on the minute?

Um I know food is at :00 and SNow food is at :09-:11

Hmm. 9-11, eh? From what I've just seen, coin is about :23, so perhaps we could get a formula from this.

37/11 = 3.32
68/23 = 2.9

Rough estimates without a calculator. So from what I gather, we could say it's the number of the shop divided by three plus or minus half a second.

The shops restock by shop number within roughly a half second of each other. Food shop is no.1, book shop is no.2 etc.

The gift shop restocked at roughly 13.

But yesterday the gift shop was stocking between on the minute and about 3 seconds past... I think. The neopets clock seems to de-synch on my computer sometimes.

There must be a mathematical equation to figure it out *wishes he was good at math*

I don't think there is. From my experience, the shops stock in groups, and those groups stock in a range of times.

If they're later, it's usually because of high drain on the servers.

But the lower a shop's number (food 1, magic 2, toy 3, et cetera), the earlier its group stocks. I'm not altogether sure what the groupings are, but I know that chocolate is in a separate group from food and toy, and that stamps are in a separate group from chocolate, and so on.
