Xals Xpedited Routes

Records gathering nodes and builds an optimal route between them, with a HUD compass and one-click routing.

Records the mining and herbalism nodes you gather, then builds an optimal route through them automatically. The routing isn't just a straight nearest-node line either — it starts with a greedy path and then runs a second pass to shorten and un-cross it further, so you're not zigzagging across a zone.

A HUD compass points to your next node with live distance and progress coloring, a one-click floating button lets you start or stop routing without touching chat commands, and a trail line traces the whole upcoming route on your minimap. Markers are simple color-coded shapes that fade out once you're close enough that the actual node model matters more than the marker itself, and node types your character can't gather (mining nodes on a pure-herbalist, for example) stay hidden automatically, even though the database is shared across your whole account.

Requires HereBeDragons for minimap and world map markers to show at all - without it, recording, routing, the compass, and the floating button still work, but no pins will be drawn. With it installed, you also get more accurate cross-zone distances. If TomTom is installed, generating a route automatically hands it a ready-to-paste list - no setup needed on your end.

Bored single dad, learning as I go. WoW's been mine since launch, off and on. Made Xal's Xpedited Routes because I couldn't find what I needed and figured I'd learn it myself. Have an addon idea? Hit me up anytime.
