GatherReq
GatherReq adds profession skill requirements directly to the default tooltip in World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic.
No more walking up to a herb, mining node, corpse, or lockbox just to find out whether you can use it.

This addon is built for WoW TBC Classic 2.5.5.
It augments Blizzard’s normal tooltip. It does not add a custom range overlay or scan objects that do not already produce a tooltip.
