One of the really old and useful addons for World of Warcraft is Gatherer, developed originally by Norganna. The main purpose of this wow addon is to show you the nearest potential herb, vein or treasure. It does this by keeping a database of where you have found these things in the past. The addon will show you possible nodes on your minimap or even in your main window as one of the new features. Read on for more info.

Let me explain a bit more in-depth how this wow addon works. If you are a miner or a herbalist it’s practical to know where herb and vein nodes usually spawn. There are a number of possible spawn places for these on every map and usually they have a spawn time of around 15-20 minutes. In a small area on a map there could be 3-4 possible spawn nodes for one resource. Every 15-20 minutes there’s a chance a given resource will spawn at one of the nodes, but it won’t spawn for several of those nodes. There are many node clusters like this around the maps and each time you actually find a resource and gather it, gatherer makes a note of this, and you’ll see it on your minimap when you are close to it from now on so you don’t have to remember exactly where it spawned the last time.

Gatherer will also show you possible nodes on the world map, so you can plan a route for gathering resources. Another nifty feature is that it tracks treasure chests for you, and we all know that there can come some sweet items from those! You can do a lot of configuration to gatherer. You can choose how far away nodes can be before they show up on your minimap, and you can choose to track specific node types. One of the new features is that it shows the path you travel with a red line in your main view, and it also displays the nodes near you, so you can plan your travel route as good as possible.

There are some addons that improve the functionality of Gatherer but the one everyone should get right away is GathererDB which is a prebuilt database containing a majority of the nodes in World of Warcraft. With it you can start hunting those nodes right away and your gathering efficiency should increase by a lot.
