Given there's like a dozen unique items and that many users RSing at the very least, there's no question the shop gets cleared out in ten seconds flat.

You just have to be around often and be very quick about it, that's all. If you're cursed with lag and slow computer or internet, RSing here isn't really worth it. Beat them up instead ;)

Edit: I mean "Them" as the pirates. Resist the urge to beat up other RSers haha.

Throughout the entire event, I've only seen items in this shop three times and managed to snag two items in total. :/ Usually around 3AM I can grab more stuff but not last night. I wish these kids would sleep so I have a chance at getting items. Oh and I just refreshed to a "restocked now" only to find nothing, again.

I tend to leap backwards in time from stocked 11 minutes ago to stocked 1 minute ago... :(

But....if you are restocking stuff in there, whether it's 3am or 3pm - aren't you taking the chance away from someone else to restock in there too? It works both ways, no? You have no idea who is snagging items in there, it might be one amazingly fast restocker, or a whole bunch - but I certainly don't see why they should stop restocking, (or 'calm down') just because you can't restock as much as them.

Tbh I've never understood complaints like this. I am not fast enough to make a dent on the items I'd love to get,, but that's my bad luck really. Lack of a fast enough computer, or general lack of skills, who knows.

(at least there is the chance of getting the items from Carl's quests, it's much easier and less stressful then trying to restock!)
