Locate and track resources more easily in World of Warcraft
Gatherer is a plug-in for World of Warcraft that will make your herbalist or miner life much easier. This little tool tracks the location of mines and herbs in the game and then displays an icon on the map so that you can find them faster and more easily.
Gatherer records all data on its own database, including the quality of each mine or herb found for later reference. This information will be very useful to improve your gathering skill and consequently earn more money by selling minerals and herbs.
Gatherer is an addon which tracks items you gather in the course of your adventures and records their locations on your minimap so that you can keep track of their locations as you are adventuring around Azeroth or the Outlands.
The two professions that benefit more from this tracking are herbalism and mining, because it allows you to create a database of available resources as you level up.
