Posted Oct 15, 2019Any chance you could add herbs and mining to the information per map?
Either way, appreciate your work on this, Odica!

Hi there, thanks for your appreciation and your suggestion :-)
I like the idea to add level information for herbs and mining to the zone info. However, all information displayed by ZoneInfo is provided by LibTourist-Classic, which currently does not contain such information. I will propose this idea to my co-author for LibTourist and see if there's a good way to retrieve such data from the WoW API.
When LibTourist can provide the data, I will add it to the information displayed by ZoneInfo.
Best regards,
Odica

Many thanks! Know how crazy it can get to keep track of such things (especially on retail) but hopefully the changes are minimal in Classic over time.

The advantage of Classic is that the number of herbs is fairly limited and the way levels and such are organized is much more static and straight-forward than in retail. Adding herbalism information to LibTourist is doable for Classic but wil be a lot of work for retail.
In fact, the addition of herb data to LibTourist-Classic is as good as finished and ZoneInfo has already been adapted to display the data, so expect an update as soon as the new LibTourist comes available.
If all works fine, I plan to do the same for mining nodes, using the same concept.
