HerbRouteMap is a lightweight profession route addon for World of Warcraft Classic focused on gathering optimization, leveling guidance, and custom route creation. The addon displays profession routes (currently Herbalism, Mining planned) on a movable map frame, allowing you to follow efficient farming or leveling paths without constantly opening the world map or a website for routes. You can also draw your own custom routes directly on base maps and save them locally. Route sharing functionality exists in early form but is not fully reliable yet.
Beta status — please read:
- UI is still very minimal and will improve later
- Some features are incomplete (especially route sharing)
- Only a few base maps currently support custom drawing
- Expect bugs, missing maps, and occasional issues
- Feedback is very welcome 🙂
