Detailed window view, showing the status of all gathering tools as well as current buffs and total value of materials inside your bags.
This window is shown when the "Show Session Details" button is clicked. It will display the current farming session's detailed information by also listing, in order of highest to lower value, all items looted.
This is the compact view, used when busy farming. Each square's colour shows the status of a particular gear slot or expected buff. Buff squares change colour as their timers run out.
This page inside the Options view allows you to specify the IDs of the items that you wish to track while farming.
Inspired from LootAppraiser for dopamine hits! Pops up if the total value of looted items from a single node exceeds the limit set in the Options window.
Description
GatherSlave
GatherSlave is a compact gathering assistant for World of Warcraft. It tracks your gathering readiness, current farming session, looted materials, estimated value, and saved session history in a small docked UI.
I developed this addon after starting to seriously dive into gathering myself. Being efficient is important, and having a quick visual summary of all things related to your gathering professions allows you to quickly know if anything is missing. The ultimate goal in the end was to "gamify" gathering and track my gathering performance for analysis later. Finding working addons that did all of that was challenging (some had bugs that tracked wrong IDs and never got fixed), so I decided to develop my own one.
I come from a C/C++/C# background, but have always wanted to learn Lua and this was the ideal opportunity to do so with the help of AI. The addon is still in its early stages of development.
