Herbing and mining on Main

[tym733]

There are addons, such as Gatherer, which will record every location you have ever mined ore, or picked herbs.
The addon can be configured to share information with others who also have the addon in your guild.

So when they mine, your addon receives the information, and vice versa.
You can even download the wowhead database and import it, which will then list thousands of places a given resource has been found.
You can enable or disable filters, so it only shows a specific mineral or type of herb.

There is a HUD option, which is very useful when you're on a faster flying mount. It shows where herbs have been in the zone and your direction to them.
If can show a path where you have been recently, so you don't backtrack to where you've already gathered resources.

You can enable or disable it with a mini-map button click, so its there when you want it, but out of the way when you're doing other things.

Woo, cool.... 8o
