GatherMate2 Classic
GatherMate2 is an addon to collect and track herbs, mines, fishing pools, gas clouds, archaelogy finds and treasures, and displays them on the world map and the mini map.
This is the version for WoW Classic, the version for Retail can be found here.
GatherMate will remember the location of every herb you pick or every ore you mine, so that you can easily find the positions of the herbs and mines again. Once you come into range of a recorded spot, GatherMate will show an icon representing the type of herb/ore/fish/etc. on your mini map, directly allowing you to decide if its worth checking out. Additionally, all spots are shown on the World Map, to ease navigation to certain types of nodes and making gathering more fun.
To give you a head start, GatherMate2 also offers a pre-filled data module, so you don't need to discover all herbs and mines yourself, but instead can just start gathering right away. Simply install GatherMate2_Data Wowhead Classic and hit a few buttons to import all the provided data, and you're good to go.

Video about configuring this addon.
Usage
Using GatherMate2 is straight-forward.
After the installation, GatherMate2 is automatically active and collecting data.
You can configure which data should be shown on the World Map or MiniMap in the Configuration Dialog, which can be accessed either via the /gathermate slash command or be found in the Interface options in the WoW Menu.
Localization (Translation of Nodes)
GatherMate2 relies on the node names to be translated in all languages WoW supports. You can contribute additional translations for your language here using the Localization tool:
https://www.wowace.com/projects/gathermate2-classic/localization
Any translations submitted through that tool will be automatically included in the next release.

Posted Jul 4, 2025Okay I found a much easier fix for the data import:
1. Download the Classic data and extract it normally like you would for any other addon, https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gathermate2-data-wowhead-classic
2. Download the retail data from https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gathermate2_data/files
3. Extract the retail data and then go in and copy the .lua data file for the profession you want (example: MiningData.lua)
4. Go into the Classic Gathermate2_Data folder and rename "GatherMate2_Data_Cata" to "GatherMate2_Data_Mists"
5. Copy the .lua file into the "Classic" folder, and then again into the "Era" folder just to be sure
6. Now go in-game and to the Import section of Gathermate, select "Overwrite", check the box for the profession you imported the .lua file for, and then select "Mists of Pandaria" for the expansion.
This worked for me. I'm now getting mining nodes showing up in every zone across all expac content (vanilla -> MoP)

Posted Jul 4, 2025I have version 1.47.8.1-classic installed for the MOP Beta but herbs in Jade Forest are not being tracked when picked; as in they are not being added.
Different to data import issues (albeit Import didn't work for me either)
Not sure if that's meant to be working now?

Posted Jul 3, 2025Temporary Data Import Fix!
If you're using GatherMate2 Data Wowhead classic by Marrtin
It seems like the map IDs have changed, according to this list: https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/UiMapID
the data addon is using Classic IDs while the game uses Retail IDs. Also looks like its using the Era folder instead of the Classic folder.
To fix:
1. Navigate to \World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns\GatherMate2_Data\Era
2. Change the <profession>Data.lua files by switching the classic ID with the retail ID according to the list.
Elwynn Forest example:
Before:
GatherMateData2HerbDB = {
[1429] = {
[2130737000] = 402,
....
}
}
After:
GatherMateData2HerbDB = {
[37] = {
[2130737000] = 402,
....
}
}

Posted Jul 4, 2025Yeah, I figured the issue was something to do with mis-matched zone IDs.
Within the Gathermate folder, there's a library called "Herebedragons", and it seems to be a database of all the classic(?) zone IDs. Swapping the zone IDs with these ones seems to make the data work.

Posted Jul 4, 2025Thats not the reason. You are looking at Era data which is different, you should be loading the Cata data (until its updated for Mists) - however the Data addon is not setup correctly and loads the wrong data on Mists.
Please contact the author of the Data addon. Its not something that can be fixed over here.

Posted Jul 4, 2025If you do want a manual fix, then venture into the files of the Data addon, in the root directory of it rename the file ending in _Cata.toc to end in _Mists.toc, that should load the right data.

Posted Jul 3, 2025I did a bunch of digging through the code of this addon and the wowhead data download, and managed to manually import the data by copying it over through the .lua files.
https://i.ibb.co/DDTJBJHW/Discord-Ykp-HKn84k-R.jpg
Copying over ALL the data did not work, but copying just one zone's data (Borean Tundra in this case) seems to have worked perfectly. I'll keep digging to try and get everything imported.

Posted Jul 3, 2025The addon that provides the data looks like it'll need an update. "GatherMate2_Data Wowhead Classic" looks like it only supports Era and Cataclysm, so it'll need an update for prepatch.

Posted Jul 2, 2025Doesn't seem to want to import the Wowhead data in MoP Classic. The addon itself works just fine, but importing data does nothing.
