MagiStream

Hello! Ive been doing some digging trying to figure out how I use to gold mine last time i played but lots of things are broken or gone. How do people goldmine nowadays? and where? Thank you. Ive been at this for hours maybe im just not looking in the right spots ;-; I just want moneys even if its 1 per animal which is kinda slow but its better then nothing!

How depends on what browser you want to use for mining.

1. For Chrome or up-to-date Opera, there's an old guide that...mostly works. Few things to note: If you're on Chrome, you'll obviously need to go to the Chrome store for LinkClump. If you're on Opera...you still have to go to the Chrome store because I don't think LinkClump is on the Opera store anymore. But because modern Opera is Chromium, it's compatible with Chrome extensions.

Second, LinkClump can be set to close tabs after a delay so you don't actually need to get Tampermonkey, and you can also set a delay between opening tabs which you will need to do so your computer doesn't try to open everything at once. You'll have to experiment with the timings to figure out what works for you. If you open things too fast, it can cause Chrome to lock up until it's finished, and if you close too fast, tabs won't have a chance to load and register the click. If you make either too slow, nothing bad will happen, it'll just take longer.

Third, and VERY IMPORTANT, if you do use CloseIt, you MUST edit the script. It was written when Magistream was still using HTTP, and doesn't work anymore because it looks for the wrong URL. It's an incredibly easy fix though, literally just add an S to change http to https.

2. If you're using Firefox, you can use Snap Links Plus for opening tabs, and will need Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey or the like to run the CloseIt script. Instructions for Tampermonkey can be found in the guide linked above, and Greasemonkey works very similarly. Again, BE SURE TO EDIT THE SCRIPT.

ETA: Linkclump is on Firefox too.

3. If you want to use the old Opera 12 method, it's a bit tricky. There's a guide that used to very good, but between the age of Opera 12 and the switch to HTTPS, some problems have come up. For starters, it doesn't even have a working link to download Opera 12 anymore! Here's one. SnapLinks isn't on the store anymore, but you can download the OEX here, run it, and it'll install just like the store would. Along with editing the CloseIt script, you'll need to go to "opera:config#javascript on https" and check the box so that it'll actually run CloseIt on Magistream.

The big issue is that it might refuse to open pages and throw you messages about certificates being expired or not matching or incomplete or whatever. I was able to just click Approve until it stopped happening. But someone else had their Kaspersky Antivirus also getting involved, and I'm not sure whether they ever got that resolved. I suggested adding Magistream to their AV whitelist or turning off SSL scanning(at least for the duration of mining), but I don't know if it worked or if they even noticed that post.

ETA: Firefox, Chrome, and Opera 12 were all very close in my testing, with Opera 12 a little faster. My computer and internet are pretty fast though, a slower computer or connection might see the gap widen.


As for places to mine...
The Image Free Nursery is always an option, and you can still use the IF Gold Mine though it's not updated anymore. Still works fine, but not all of the links work and the Belmos tabs are eternally empty.

You've got the click threads here(three of them, because...redundancy I guess???), and some people allow their keeps to be mined. I don't know if there's any sort of public list of them though, so might have to just look at people's sigs/profiles and keep your own list.

There's the Pet Hatchery, but some issues came up when the HTTPS switch happened and it doesn't look like they were ever fixed. You can still use it for clicking what's posted, but I'm not sure many creatures get added anymore(because you need to manually change the url back to http) and it doesn't seem to remove them either so not all of the links work.

Geckofort has an image-free mine with 1500 links per page and 18 pages, along with a nursery that seems to be barely used.

There's also Yarold's, but...I don't think it's worth the trouble if you're just mining.


Also, the Artificer Shop sells an item called the Alicanto Heart that makes egg clicks worth 5 gold. You get access through a quest that starts in Synara. You need an adult Direwolf or Direcore, a Thunderbird egg, and 8k gold.

Oh I primarily use chrome. Though I did get opera yesterday from my sesrching. Don't know what version I just followed a link in one of the guides I found and put link clump on it. Didnt download an extension though. I was hearing opera was faster is that still true? I don't have a preference for which browser I use but I do stuff at the same time so I kinda need something that will let me do that? Idk. Thanks though!

From my (limited, entirely nonscientific) testing, Opera 12, Firefox, and Chrome are all pretty close, though Opera 12 is just a bit faster. Took 45-50 seconds to go through 1000 links, while the other two took about a minute. The latest version of Opera would presumably perform similarly to Chrome, but I didn't test it.

However, Chrome took more work to get that fast - I had to fiddle with the Linkclump settings to get something that was fast, but not so fast that tabs were opening and closing before they could load and register clicks, or worse, so fast that Chrome locked up until it was finished(and also didn't register clicks). And I'm still not entirely sure that the best settings were registering every click, but it at least got almost all of them(and the 'missing' gold could just be down to links that don't work).

Since you want to use Chrome while mining, I'd go with either Firefox or Opera 12 for mining. Opera 12 is faster, Firefox is easier to work with.

huh. ok. Ill need to check what opera im using. I set up link clumps to open in 1 sec close in 2 and it seemed fine. I didnt really have problems but i also have a waaaaaay better computer then i did back then. But ill still see about Opera if nothing else to keep things easier for me to manage

Edit: its apparently version 77.....how do i go about getting verseion 12???

1 second open and 2 second close would probably work for just about any computer and connection, I was trying decimal values. Opening a tab every 0.001 seconds is, shockingly enough, way too fast.

0.05 open with 0.15 close seemed to work well though, aside from Chrome failing to keep track of what it'd opened. The clicks still registered on Magistream's side, it's just that the pages didn't appear in Chrome's history and the links didn't change color. 0.1 with 0.2 worked perfectly, just slower.

And whoops, I didn't notice but the guide I linked doesn't even have a working download for Opera 12 anymore. You can get it here, either one should work.

yeah so i have no ide ahow to get link clumps on opera 12. I followed the link you posted for using chrome extenstions but I think its trying to make me upgrade to the most recent version.

Linkclump is for updated Opera, Opera 12 uses Snap Links. Here, I've updated the old guide to hopefully cover everything.

1. First, download Opera 12. This is the best browser for goldmining because it's fast. Other browsers will not be able keep up with all the tabs you open. And the biggest gold mines do not even work without Opera. This is the old version of Opera because the next thing you need to download does not work on newer versions.
Download here: http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml ... 11&local=y https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/win/1218/en/

2. Second, download Snap-Links for Opera. This will allow you to click lots of creatures at once.
Download here: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/ ... nap-links/ https://www.mediafire.com/file/yyp1i2dg ... 1.oex/file
Run the OEX, it'll install Snap Links.

3. Make sure you have Java on your computer. If you don't, download it here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

4. Now you need to make file types visible on your computer.

This may be different depending on the type of computer you have. You should be able to google how to do this depending on your computer type.

On my computer, I open File explorer, click the View tab, and check File name extensions.

On another tutorial I found these instructions: Open File explorer and choose Tools >> Folder Options. Scroll down till you find “Hide extensions for known file types” and uncheck it.

5. Create a new folder on your PC, name it "Goldmining". You can put this folder anywhere you like, just remember where it is.

(For that matter, you can name the folder and file whatever you want, so long as you know what and where they are so you don't accidentally delete them or something.)

6. Now create a text file in the Goldmining folder using Notepad. To do this, open the folder, right click on the background, click New, and press Text Document. Name it CloseIT.

7. Now copy and paste the code below into your CloseIT file. Save and close.

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name           CloseIt
// @namespace      Magistream
// @include        https://magistream.com/creature/*
// ==/UserScript==

window.close();

8. Now go to your Goldmining file and rename your text file. Right click on it, select rename. Change the .txt part of the file name to .js and ignore the warning message. This changes the file from an ordinary text file into a script, and don't worry, it won't harm your computer.

9. Start up Opera 12. Click the Opera button in the corner of the screen, select Settings, then Preferences. Here you will make several changes to the settings which I will list below.

A. Click the Advanced tab and go to Cookies. Check Delete new cookies when exiting Opera.

B. Then go to History, check Empty on exit, this should help keep it from lagging.

C. Then click Security, and click the menu by Auto-update. Choose Do not check for updates. Otherwise, it will automatically update Opera and goldmining will stop working.

D. Then click Content, and make sure Enable JavaScript and Enable plug-ins are checked.

E. Then click JavaScript Options, and at the bottom click Choose, then find and select your Goldmining folder. Click OK.

F. Go to opera:config#javascript on https (copy and paste or type exactly into the url bar), check the box for User Javascript on HTTPS.

H. Close the browser and start it again.

11. You're ready to go goldmining! You might get some messages about certificates being incomplete or expired or something along those lines. It's fine, just click Approve when it happens and hopefully it should stop.

However, depending on what antivirus you're using, that might cause problems as well. You might be able to fix it by adding Magistream to your antivirus's whitelist, but if that doesn't work, you might try turning off SSL Scanning while you're mining. The one I know has caused issues is Kaspersky, and there are instructions for whitelisting a site here. Instructions to turn off SSL scanning are on the same page, "How to remove the certificate warning messages by disabling encrypted connections scanning" directly above the exclusion list instructions.

ah. thanks. Ill check it out later. I got got firefox and linkclump last night cause i got annoyed at opera and it works fine right now but ill look at that stff later too
