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.

It would be awesome if you could a feature that changes gloves from the normal ones to Herbalist's Gloves when picking a herb. =)) If that is even possible... I saw an other gathering addon but that one is not for Classic TBC.

Posted Jul 26, 2026Is there any way to delete some map markers? After a while of collecting gas, they start cluttering up the map too much. Thanks in advance for any help!

Posted Jul 12, 2026For everybody whos playing anniversary 2.5.6 to get this working again it consists of changing 2 lines. Open up Config.lua and change line 1192 from: acd:AddToBlizOptions("GatherMate 2", "GatherMate 2")
to: local _frame, panelID = acd:AddToBlizOptions("GatherMate 2", "GatherMate 2")
then change line 1214 from: Settings.OpenToCategory("GatherMate 2")
to: Settings.OpenToCategory(panelID or "GatherMate 2")

Posted Jul 13, 2026@LittleDude1990 I'm unable to get this to work by changing lines 1192 and 1214 in the config.lua. I have GatherMate2 Data Wowhead classic installed as well, but do I need to just get rid of this addon for regular GatherMate 2 to work?

Posted Jul 8, 2026TBC Anniversary 2.5.6 update seemed to break the addon. I can't run /gathermate, I can't even hit enter. It just acts like I did nothing. I can't access the filter settings and all the nodes on the main map are gone. I still see nodes on minimap according to the last filters I had set up.

Posted Jun 29, 2026Im playing on MoP Classic. I have a problem with this addon. I've tried re-installing and verified files and nothing seems to be working, in-game it wont even let me press enter when i type ''/gathermate'', nothing happens. The addon itself shows up in my options and the only available options there are is if i want other professions to show always or never, does anybody have any clue as to what is happening?

Posted May 22, 2026Since the PTR shows us that MoP 5.5.4 will have the same addon categorization system as Retail, can the following lines be added to the TOC file:
## Category: Map
## Category-deDE: Karte
## Category-esES: Mapa
## Category-esMX: Mapa
## Category-frFR: Carte
## Category-itIT: Mappa
## Category-koKR: 지도
## Category-ptBR: Mapa
## Category-ruRU: Карта
## Category-zhCN: 地图
## Category-zhTW: 地圖
