GatherLog

GatherLog remembers where your characters find things, works out the best place to go for more, and guides you there. For World of Warcraft: Forever.

Formerly called GatherTrail. Renamed so it can be told apart from another Forever addon called "Gather Trail".

What it tracks

• Ore: mine a vein, fail to, or point at one in the world or on the minimap
• Herbs: pick one, fail to, or point at one in the world or on the minimap
• Fishing pools, skinning spots (filed under the leather they gave), treasure chests and rare creatures

Every character on your account adds to the same history, even characters without the profession.

Using it

Click the pickaxe button on the minimap, or type /glog.

1. Pick a tab (Ore, Herbs, Fish, Skins, Chests, Rares) and, if you like, the types you want.
2. The zones you have records in are ranked: how many nodes, how often they were there, how short a loop they make, how far away, your level and faction, and your skill.
3. Press Start route: an arrow and the game's map marker point to the next stop, and the route is drawn on the world map.

It also learns flight masters, zone crossings and boats as you play, so a route to another zone comes with travel steps.

GatherLog starts empty: everything it knows, it learned from your own play. Export and import on the Options page let you back up your records or share them with a friend.

Commands

• /glog open the window; /glog route route through every node in this zone; /glog skip, /glog stop
• /glog show ore (or herb, fish, skin, chest, rare) show or hide one kind of pin
• /glog zone, /glog stats, /glog travel, /glog forget, /glog help

Known limits

• English game client only.
• Routes are straight lines.
• The game does not tell addons where tracking blips are, so point at a blip on the minimap to record it.
• Round minimaps only.
