addon for mining and herbs?

[slongz]

Is there something That will show both of these on my mini map?
Was going to let me main do both but only one shows at a time

[jddc78]

I don't believe so. The only way I've seen around this is to set up a sequence macro key like so:

#showtooltip
/castsequence Find Minerals, Find Herbs

Then just spam the key while you're walking around. It works ... but requires a press.

Next expansion they will add this feature.

Make it possible to track both at the same time. Not possible now. jddc78's idea works though which is nice.

I'd combine that with the addon Mappy.
You can resize the mini-map, and set it to have resource nodes blink blue/yellow.
Very easy to notice nodes, with a slave toon tracking each.

Where did you see this? Im interested in reading about it,

Thanks.

Go get Gatherer and import the latest database. Its not exactly what you're looking for but it might help.

You can then turn on all gathering professions at the same time if you prefer.

It was confirmed at Blizzcon during the Q&A Session of the Class, items and professions panel.

This does not actually answer your question, but if all 5 (4 of them are only lvl 1 mining) of your guys were miners, you could have 4 of them spread out over an entire zone. So that way if a titanium node pops up, you'll have a better chance of getting there first.

Carbonite will track both at one time, it will even give you a route to follow. (never tried using route for two kinds of nodes) But it will put anything that is trackable on the Map.

Get the addon Spotter. It will switch your tracking at a configurable rate. It can track herbs, mining, and fishing. It isn't perfect but did allow me to cap 2 different team leaders and will get you by until the update.

Hey guys,

this is for those of you, who have mining and herbalism on one character. When you fly with your flying mount while gathering, this macro helps you beeing able to find ores AND herbs.

Just make a macro with the following code:


/run if not THO then local f,t,c=CreateFrame("Frame","THO"),1,0 f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(_, e) c=c+e if c>3 then c=0 SetTracking(t) if t==1 then t=2 else t=1 end end end) THO:Hide() end

/run if THO:IsVisible() then THO:Hide() else THO:Show() end


Press it once to turn it on, press it again to turn it off.

It swiches herbalism locating and ore locating every 2,5 - 3 seconds, so you are easy able to find both!

Have fun http://www.assassin-nations.wowstead.com/editor/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif

I use my slaves to track nodes as their windows sit just above my main's on one screen. I use Sexymap to enlarge the minimap, which also enlarges the yellow dots. Tried using Mappy once, but couldn't get it to make the dots bigger so I could see them. My main Shaman I run has the following macro as he has both gathering professions and a slave has skinning.

#showtooltip
/casequence [nocombat] mining, herbalism

I have this macro on the same key I spam for slaves that has the /assist focus macro, so I hit this constantly to track. With the [nocombat] line in it, it just shows up as the red ? icon and can't be pressed in combat since it registers on the global cooldown every time you press it.

lots of good ideas guys thanks for the input going to try a few of the addons mentioned and will let you know what i find.

Carbonite will show the nodes in its database at the same time (or whatever else you want it to show), but it doesnt "track".

[Coltimar]

Gatherer can be setup to show database information for both at once.

[alcattle]

Carbonite will show the nodes in its database at the same time (or whatever else you want it to show), but it doesnt "track".
I might have explained wrong. It puts nodes on the map and then gives you a path/route to go to all of them in a closest to farther nodes in order without repeating nodes until you re-route.

[Raigirin]

I just discovered Carbonite, thank you :).
I really enjoy this addon.

[Marious]

Gatherer is the bomb, thought I did not go with mining/herbing honestly to much of a pain to have to drop skinning and start from scratch but it is a pain not to be able to gather them both so looking forward to next expansion so I can do both with one character.

I recall hearing this at the Blizzcon this summer. It was mentioned by one of the cataclysm panels it was hugely applauded by the audience :)
