Daily Quests and Bot vs Human-like behavior

[Praise_the_Sun]

Hey folks,

I've been able to write some Python code to automate the daily quest log.

However... Neopets seems able to tell a bot is doing it because it's only giving me credit for the quests when I do it by hand as opposed to browser automations. There seems to be some weird credit trigger mechanism for these quests I'm not setting off...

Does anyone have insight into their system and how to avoid detection? Doing dailies across 10+ accounts is a big chore lol

Thanks!

Is it just running every possible quest. Or is it first viewing the page with Quests for the day?

1 day I tried to get ahead of my quest log when I first logged on and so I did the usual ones like feed a pet, customize a pet, etc. Then when I went to the page they said I hadn't done it yet either.

So maybe start on the quest page first? If you already are then I'm not sure what would be causing your issue. Hopefully someone else can help!

I've had some of these thoughts.

I'm really posting for more clarity though rather than hypotheses for experimentation if possible. It sucks to write code that does everything then have the quest log not care...

I think the big question I was asking is the bot looking at the quest page before initiating the results.

The quest page needs to be viewed before you get credit for completing tasks.

So that was what I was trying to relay. Simple tweak maybe to have it view the quest log before running?

Unless you are doing that already. If you are not. I would try that out. As I ran into the same problem doing it legitimately.

Welp you sure were right! Sorry if I was dismissive before. One step closer to finalizing the code and being done with it :P

No worries. Alot harder to understand someone through text than it is in a verbal conversation.

Not often I'm able to help with problem solving so I'm glad I was able to help!

Best of luck with your program!

As a side note, I'm wondering if anyone could help me use the cookies stored by stealthcore to maintain those sessions via my python automations. It helps avoid problems when it's seamless like that.

Make sure the bot first visits the page :)... and... share us the bot! haha :)

It's under development and I want to make sure to respect the reasons why jo3 hasn't made one. He hasn't on purpose at least for Trudys.

I also don't want to be responsible if it's not undetectable enough to prevent bans.

It won't be an exe anytime soon so you'd need to understand a bit of python to use it.
