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 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.

Posted Sep 30, 2025I am not getting nodes to track if my skill level is not high enough to gather it, for example Sungrass requires herbalism skill of 230, am at 210. This is an unwelcome change.

Posted Jul 31, 2025Anyone else having issues when importing data that the mining nodes, herbs, chests, etc., are importing pre-Cata data in addition to post Cata data? Anyone know of a way to either fix this import issue, or a workaround to only download post Cata data?

Posted Jul 16, 2025getting this today on the beta, looks like it's aceaddon that might be causing it, but not sure since the top line mentions a file specifically for gathermate - in the 2nd bug report, it shows AceAddon being affected for another addon, but below is the 1st bug report
2x GatherMate2/Collector.lua:102: attempt to call global 'GetItemInfo' (a nil value)
Locals:
2nd bug report:
2x GatherMate2/Collector.lua:74: Usage: RegisterEvent("eventname", "methodname"): 'methodname' - method 'SpellStarted' not found on self.

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)
