🗺️ Farming Paths

Plan your route on the map. Follow the arrow. Farm on autopilot.

Farming Paths is a route planner and guide for World of Warcraft: Midnight (Retail). Pick a zone, crop the map to the area you farm, drop waypoints along your route, and a 3D arrow on your screen walks you from one to the next. When you arrive, it moves on by itself.

Herbs, ore, rares, mob loops, treasure runs: if you do it in a circle, this addon is for it.

✨ Features

🗺️ Map Planner

• Every zone with a map, grouped by continent, with a search box built into the zone menu. Type a name or a map ID, or jump straight to your current zone.
• Crop the map to just the area you farm, then zoom with the mouse wheel and drag to pan
• Add waypoints by Ctrl+clicking the map, using Place mode, typing coordinates (45.2, 63.8), or clicking + My Position to drop one where you're standing
• Drag waypoints on the map to move them. Lines connect the path so you can see the whole loop.

🧭 3D Direction Arrow

• A chunky 3D arrow on your screen points to the next waypoint, turning as you turn
• It fades from blue when you're far away to red as you close in, and you choose both distances
• Shows the waypoint's icon, name, number and distance
• Drag it anywhere on screen, and adjust its size, thickness and tilt

🔁 Auto-Advance

• Get within the arrival radius and the next waypoint is picked automatically, with an optional sound
• Set one radius for everything, or give each waypoint its own
• Loop the path or stop at the end
• Won't skip a waypoint just because you flew over it: by default it only counts once you've landed
• Go, Stop, Prev and Next buttons right under the map

📍 Minimap & World Map

• Your waypoint icons show on the minimap and the world map
• While navigating, only the current and next waypoint are shown, so your minimap stays clean
• The current target sticks to the minimap's edge so you always know which way to go
• Works with round, square and rotating minimaps

📋 Waypoint List

• A side panel lists every waypoint. Rename them, type exact X/Y positions, set arrival radii, and change icons.
• Drag the grip to reorder, or use the arrows
• Collapse it to a thin strip with one click

🎨 Icons

• Waypoints use the raid star by default
• Give any waypoint its own icon from the same icon set as the bank tabs, plus all 8 raid markers, or enter any icon ID

🗂️ Tabs, Groups & Saved Paths

• Keep several routes open in tabs and switch between them instantly
• Sort tabs into groups, like one group per expansion or per profession
• Give any tab or group its own color
• Save routes as Farming Paths and load them again later
• Import / export paths as a text string to share them with friends

🎨 Fully Customizable Look

• Colors for the background, header, buttons, tabs and border, each with its own opacity slider
• Border styles: none, solid line, tooltip or dialog
• Window opacity, waypoint size, path lines, and a window lock
• Resize the window as small or large as you like, or minimize it to a slim title bar
• Settings are available in the addon's own Options window and in Esc > Options > AddOns

🖱️ How to Use

1. Open Farming Paths with /fp, the minimap button, or the Addon Compartment
2. Click Zone and pick your farming zone (or type to search)
3. Optional: click Crop and drag a box around the area you farm
4. Ctrl+click the map to drop waypoints in the order you want to visit them
5. Press Go and follow the arrow
6. Click Save path to keep the route for next time

⌨️ Slash Commands

• /fp: show or hide the window
• /fp show / /fp hide: show or hide the window
• /fp options: open the options
• /fp go: start navigating the current tab (from the nearest waypoint)
• /fp stop: stop navigating
• /fp next / /fp prev: skip forward or back one waypoint
• /fp here: add a waypoint at your current position
• /fp list: collapse or expand the waypoint list
• /fp minimap: show or hide the minimap button
• /fp reset: move the window back to the middle of the screen

📝 Notes

• Your routes, tabs and settings are shared across all your characters
• WoW doesn't tell addons the height of a spot you click on the map, so arrival is measured across the ground. The "don't advance while flying" option (on by default) stops you skipping a waypoint by passing over it.
• Export strings start with !FP1! and can be pasted into Import in the Farming Paths menu

🤖 Made with AI Assistance (I know, I know)

Farming Paths was created with the help of AI assistance (Anthropic's Claude). Unfortunately I do not know how to code very well but hopefully this will be helpful to someone else for their farming goals! I have tested this as I use it and so far it hasn't had any major flaws. Bug reports and feature suggestions are very welcome. Please leave a comment or you can find me in-game Scumerica#1443
