Sand Mining - Beta (Autohotkey)

• The macro will walk you through the setup, via GUI interface.
• Asks for the pattern (ie Triple + 1 pair, or 2 pairs), all the options in wiki.
• Whatever pattern is chosen, it will run the ore stones, as it is listed in wiki.
• Runs each workload in 12-26 seconds (depending on number of sets, for the particular pattern)

• Added: 10/27/2010
• Last Update: 10/28/2010 AM - I forgot to finish the 7 color pattern. That would have failed that pattern. All should be well now. Also added a "bell and whistle" to the GUI display and updated alot of text (instructions, notes, comments) here and there.

  • I have aborted the pixel search method of finding the popup button. When working sandmines, on all sand terrain, it would occassionaly think an OK button was there, when it was not (thus causing you to move/run). Regardless of how I adjusted the shades, the results seemed to vary on occassions. Instead I now have included an OK.PNG image file in the zip. Make sure this file is in the same folder as your scripts. Now it will search for the actually word OK, in the popup. I have adjusted the script so it will find it, regardless of your resolution. You should not need to adjust anything. Tested at 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1680x1050 so pretty sure it will work on all. Basically this means that on the Sterope Public Sandmine, you should find yourself not moving/walking randomly.

Before you work the mine, a pulldown menu will ask what the pattern is, choices are:

• 7 Color
• 6 Color (1 Pair)
• 5 Color (2 Pairs)
• 5 Color (Triple)
• 4 Color (3 Pairs)
• 4 Color (Triple + Pair)
• 4 Color (Quadruple)
• 3 Color (Triple + 2 Pairs)
• 3 Color (Quad + Pair)
• 3 Color (Quintuple)

Explanation of each on is located in the Sandmining Guide.

Choose the correct set of stones you see, then click Next. Then middle click all the stones

NOTE: Make sure you select (middle click) all of the stones with the highest amount of same colors first.

ie

Triple + Pair. You would middle click the triple colors first, then the pair, then all remaining single colors

Triple + 2 Pair. You click the triple colors first, then first pair, then the 2nd pair next, then the single colors.

Quadruple + 1 Pair. You would select the 4 stones with the same color first, then the pair next, then the single colors.

So you ready to give it a try? Just remember, wiki says that the gem locations are in these regions, so make sure you are sandming in the correct region. There is usually a public sandmine next to the CS in each region.

• Alcyone - Topaz
• Celeano - Emerald
• Maia - Ruby
• Merope - Sapphire
• Sterope - Quartz
• Taygete - Opal
• Sinai - Diamond
