Palda's Node Tooltip
A comprehensive gathering addon for WoW Classic and TBC Classic that enhances your Mining and Herbalism experience with intelligent tooltips and real-time skill tracking.
Overview
Palda's Node Tooltip is designed to make gathering professions more efficient and enjoyable. Get instant information about skill requirements, skill-up chances, and optimal farming routes directly in your game interface. Automatically adapts to Classic Vanilla (1-60) or TBC Classic (60-70)!
Core Features
Intelligent Node Tooltips
When you hover over any Mining or Herbalism node in the world, the addon displays:
- Required skill level to gather
- Current skill-up chance (Guaranteed, Likely, Possible, or No Chance)
- Your current skill level for easy comparison
- Color-coded information for quick readability
- Fixed position - Tooltip appears in bottom-right corner for consistency
Skill Progress Tracker
A clean, minimalist panel that shows:
- Current skill level (Mining or Herbalism)
- Points remaining to skill cap (300 in Vanilla, 375 in TBC)
- Best node to farm for optimal skill-ups
- Automatic updates as your skill increases
- Draggable positioning - place it wherever you want
- Smart auto-hide - Panel automatically hides when you equip a fishing pole and reappears when you remove it
Note: The panel automatically displays whichever gathering profession you have (Mining takes priority if you have both).
