Equipment: 5 x 100 use GM shovels, 1 x 500 use rock hammer (Blacksmith BoD reward - except fencing weapons)
Location: Felucca, Europa shard.
Client: EC
Macros: shovels in a 'target by resource' macro and set to mine 'stone'; 'target default object (set to hammer)', use targeted object, target set to cursor, delay 1.5' - Lots of clicking, but you can't set the mountainside as a target and you can't put the hammer in the 'target by resource' box.
Details: From a set starting point I mined up the mountain side, emptying each resource pocket till the shovels ran out and putting the granite into a pack horse.
Because of the time it takes to empty a resource pocket of granite I was able to start from the same point with the hammer. I made a note of the granite in the pack horse, and placed the stone from the hammer on the grid row below, thus you can compare the coloured ore from the same pockets. On reaching the point where the shovels ran out the hammer was just less than half used up, plain granite was at 93 rocks. I continued up the mountain.
Conclusion: I don't regret the iron I used to fill the fencing Lbod to claim the hammer, but I wish it could be used in a 'target by resource' macro.
