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.
Features
- Tracking of all gathering professions and more!
- Herbs
- Mines
- Fishing Pools
- Treasures

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 Feb 4, 2026Just today GatherMate2 classic just started crashing, can not hit disable or ignore button just a massive amount of clicking noise. I have not added any other addons in a long time, so its not like it is conflicting with something else.

This is what i'm seeing:

[tail call]: ?

Posted Feb 6, 2026If you are getting that particular error, your version is vastly out of date. You should check that you are actually using "GatherMate2 Classic", not accidentally using an old retail version on Classic, which would not work.

Posted Feb 1, 2026Hello, I have an issue with the last version of this wonderful addon: I try to select specific mining nodes to display in my map; since I am only interested into Titans mining nodes, I try to select only the ones related to Titans. However, each time I select (for instance) "Draconium touched by Titans", all the Draconium nodes are automatically selected, and I cannot unselect the only one I am not interested in. This issue is generalised to all types of ores.
Am I the only one with this issue ? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the addon, but without positive effects.
Many thanks for any help.

Posted Feb 6, 2026If you get that error, it basically means your version is quite a bit out of date. You should verify you are using "GatherMate2 Classic", and not an old retail version which would only be called "GatherMate2" without the Classic.

Posted Jan 16, 2026In reply to Gojuryu00: GatherMate2 does not come with data on its own, you need a data-provider addon, eg. for classic this one seems to be updated:
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/gathermate2-data-wowhead-classic
Its not flagged for TBC Anniversary yet, so you may need to grab the Era/Mists version instead.

If you're referring to the Gathermate2 TBC Edition, then I have to tell you that I made it, not the creator of that version. The reason was that the LUA errors were driving me crazy and the import function was broken.

Posted Jan 16, 2026In reply to Nighthawk2001: Please take that project down. You have no permission to re-upload GatherMate, and the original was fixed - in fact, it was never broken, CurseForge was just delivering the wrong version.

No problem, I'll take down the version I fixed. Thanks for your feedback. And thanks for your version, which has been a long-time companion in WoW. Have a nice day.
