  • About Gatherer
  •  

Gatherer is an addon for herbalists, miners and treasure hunters in World of Warcraft. It's main purpose is to track the closest plants, deposits and treasure locations on your minimap.

The addon does not track like a tracking ability does, rather it "remembers" where you have found various items in the past. It does this whenever you gather (perform herbalism, mining or opening) on an item, and records the specific map location in its history. From then on, whenever the item comes into range of being one of the closest 1-25 (configurable) items to your present location, it will pop up on you minimap.

When you view your World Map, you will also see the item locations marked on the particular map you are viewing there.

For more information, please visit us at http://www.gathereraddon.com/

USAGE:


Just use the game as normal. When you gather things, they will appear on your minimap and your main map. If you want to configure the addon, click the Gatherer configuration icon floating around your minimap frame or type /gather options.

CONTRIBUTING:


Gatherer is an open source project, and is built upon the donations and the support of the community.

    Is there any plans to make gatherer show clouds that engineers gather?

    Meh2100,

    That is on the extended "To Do" list, but there is no ETA on when to expect the addition.

    Happy Gatherering,

    Tried installing this via the Curse client, is not working. Is this because I don't have Wrath of the Lich King; only BC? Other addons work fine.

    MisterBibs,

    Ensure that you have "Load Out of Date" enabled in the main WoW AddOns Control Panel- Gatherer works with all the different, legal WoW versions.

    Happy Gatherering,

    Any chance the map pointer could be fixed?

    With gatherer installed it doesn't show the circles around the arrow when you open the World Map.

    Fayola,

    Eventually, yes. The current plan is to have at least a functioning version of Gatherer available for use with Cataclysm, but, beyond that, only time will tell. The main developer has been busy with other, real life things, so we will get to what parts we can, in addition to tending to our other AddOns.

    Happy Gatherering,

    Hey I don't know if anyone else has this problem but anyways I installed the Gatherer add-on via Curse Client everything went through fine. The add-on showed on my list of wow add-ons, unfortuanetly it won't load because both "Gatherer" and "Gatherer Heads-Up Display Plugin" are both out of date and according to Curse Client I have it fully updated so I'm curious as to what's happening any input is greatly appreciated thx.

    I've had this problem as well. I don't have a solution for you, but wanted to let you know it's not just you.

    Estherneff,

    As Ragarqwa noted, simply ensure that the "Load Out of Date" has a checkmark in the main WoW AddOns Control Panel.

    Kramster20032,

    Sure, just look in the options, under Herbalism and uncheck the nodes which you do not wish to see.

    i'm on a mac and when i go to config > Plugins i only find HUD but no database.. how can i get the database plugin? i don't want to lose my old gathers!

    Snookik,

    Check out the FAQ on our main site, http://Wiki.Norganna.Org/Gatherer for the sharing/database options. The import is set up to not duplicate nodes if they are within X feet of existing data points, so you can import without much worry.

    That said, there should only be a few that are not included in the GathererDB_Wowhead; instructions on the wiki and on the download page for how to import.

    Happy Gatherering,

    Nikk

    does it work with mapster? cause it installed it and it didn't show me anything on mini map or even in the list of stuff near by not sure its working for me.

    PS: i wouldn't recommend clicking the link that the guy below me gave it looks like a good way to send a virus to some unlucky sucker

    Abbas666,

    It should, at least up to a week ago, or so.

    Have you collected any nodes, yet? If not, you will not see anything. Check out the FAQ on our main site, http://Wiki.Norganna.Org/Gatherer for the sharing/database options.

    If Gatherer's buttons and all are not showing in-game, then you likely need to place a checkmark in the "Load out of date" checkbox at the top of the main WoW AddOns Control Panel, accessed by clicking the "Addons" link in the lower left of the Character Selection Screen. Also, be sure there are Gold, not Silver, checkmarks beside Gatherer, GathererHUD, Swatter, and SlideBar.

    Should you still not see anything, let us know.

    Happy Gatherering,

    Nikk

    i am extremely happy with this addon but what i do wish would happen was you should be able to sync your gatherer to lets say a party member's and see the locations THEY have collected not just yours and what they collect while they are in your group

  • Nechckn said

    GerroxJr,

    It can do that, with a bit of manual interaction, in addition to automatically sharing nodes with those in your Guild and, or, Party - if each person has that enabled, it is by default.

    For more, see the FAQ on our main site, http://Wiki.Norganna.Org/Gatherer/FAQ .

    Happy Gatherering,

    Nikk
