Tracking Eye

Mini-map tracking menu and auto switcher for herb and ore gathering. Cycles Find Herbs and Find Minerals while you farm, restores tracking after death, and tracks targeted creatures while questing. Supports every tracking ability. Never miss a node.

TL;DR: Gather herbs and ore on the same ride without ever touching your tracking, and never lose it to a corpse run again.

Farm Mode

README-Infographic-Farm-Mode

  • Herbs and Ore, One Mini-map // Swaps your tracking for you as you ride, so no node slips past.
  • Never Gets in Your Way // Holds off in combat and in town, so it never costs you a global cooldown when it counts.
  • Sees Farther // Zooms your mini-map all the way out as a run starts, so nodes show up from much farther away.
  • Farm Your Way // Pick what it cycles, how fast, and whether it runs mounted, on foot, or in travel form, or switch it off.

Persistent Tracking

README-Infographic-Persistent-Tracking

  • Every Tracking Ability, One Menu // Herbs, ore, fish, treasure, beasts, and the rest, one click from your mini-map.
  • It Comes Back // Die, shapeshift, or zone, and your tracking turns right back on.
  • Right Tracking, Right Moment // Grab a fishing pole and Find Fish takes over. Druids in Cat Form and Hunters in battlegrounds can have Track Humanoids step in too.
  • Your Call // Pick which swaps you want, or switch it off entirely.

Automatic Target Tracking

README-Infographic-Automatic-Target-Tracking

  • Kill Quests, Done Faster // Target a creature and the rest of its kind lights up on your mini-map.
  • Off Until You Want It // Starts off. Turn it on in the options whenever you're ready.

Come & Get It

README-Infographic-Come-and-Get-It

  • Be the Hero // Right-click an herb you can't pick, a vein you can't mine, or a locked chest, and a callout with its coordinates lands in your chat box.
  • Nothing Goes Out by Accident // It only writes the line. You press Enter to send it.
  • Your Channel // Send it to Local, Guild, Party, Say, or Yell, or switch it off.

Sample Messages

Right-Click a Vein You Can't Mine, Local (/1): Hey Miners! Rich Thorium Vein at 25, 54 in Eastern Plaguelands.

Right-Click a Locked Chest, Local (/1): Hey Rogues! Large Iron Bound Chest at 38, 49 in Stranglethorn Vale.

Tips & Tricks

Mini-Map Button

Action Result
Hover or Left-Click Opens the Mini-map Menu

The menu shows every feature and whether it's on, with a Toggle under each, your tracking abilities one click away, and why Farm Mode is paused. It's all plain clicks, so it works with a controller too.

Good to Know

  • Free Placement Mode // Crowded mini-map? Pull the tracking icon off it and park it anywhere on your screen.
  • One-Key Cycling // Bind a key to jump to your next tracking ability, even with Farm Mode off.
