GatherMate2
GatherMate2 is an addon to collect and track herbs, mines, fishing pools, gas clouds, archaelogy finds and treasures, and displays them on the world map and the mini map.
This is the Retail version of GatherMate2, the version for WoW Classic can be found here
GatherMate will remember the location of every herb you pick or every ore you mine, so that you can easily find the positions of the herbs and mines again. Once you come into range of a recorded spot, GatherMate will show an icon representing the type of herb/ore/fish/etc. on your mini map, directly allowing you to decide if its worth checking out. Additionally, all spots are shown on the World Map, to ease navigation to certain types of nodes and making gathering more fun.
To give you a head start, GatherMate2 also offers a pre-filled data module, so you don't need to discover all herbs and mines yourself, but instead can just start gathering right away. Simply install GatherMate2_Data and hit a few buttons to import all the provided data, and you're good to go.

Video about configuring this addon.
Usage
Using GatherMate2 is straight-forward.
After the installation, GatherMate2 is automatically active and collecting data.
You can configure which data should be shown on the World Map or MiniMap in the Configuration Dialog, which can be accessed either via the /gathermate slash command or be found in the Interface options in the WoW Menu.
Localization (Translation of Nodes)
GatherMate2 relies on the node names to be translated in all languages WoW supports. You can contribute additional translations for your language here using the Localization tool:
https://www.wowace.com/projects/gathermate2/localization
Any translations submitted through that tool will be automatically included in the next release.
GatherMate2_Data
GatherMate2_Data has been updated with all fresh data from Wowhead, including support for Shadowlands, and will be continously updated throughout the coming expansion.

Hello Author. The Whispers of the Deep fishing pool is not being tracked by the addon. Could It be added in future patch?
When fishing in a pool that isn't in the database yet, the pool does not get added to the database and does not show up on minimap or map. Not sure if I'm missing something in my settings. Herbs do get added to the database.
In reply to ishirra: as in the issue tracker

Fishing Node requires the mouse to be over the node, just hover the node when start fishing
how do you get this app to work with TWW any other expansion it is working, i tired deleting the app and reinstalling it still does not show any nodes
Since herb and mine nodes spawn with so many affixes the database is getting very large and laggy. Can it be made not to record affixes in the addon? For every crystalized/withered/ez-mine bismuth, just make it busmuth since they share the same spawns. Maybe convert every affix node detected to a regular node when writing to the lua file, so duplicates can be deleted and not bloat the database. I know its easier said than done.
Any shot of adding the Disturbed Earth for the gobs of wax?
I've put together an update for GatherMate2_Data that contains updates and data for The War Within if folks would like to use it until the author can provide updates.

In reply to Spiritwlf: Dear Spiritwlf (marthammor)!
It has been 3 weeks since you've released the initial Data for Gathermate2. However since then, I think more nodes were discovered and uploaded to Wowhead.
I was wondering if you could create yet another Data package for the addon itself? I would truly appreciate that!
Thank you in advance.
In reply to kalitka9: I was actually thinking of putting together an update with any new data. I know I've added a bunch of fishing nodes and have come across some mining/herb nodes that weren't recorded yet so I'm fairly sure WoWHead has some newer data. I've been fairly busy with work, but I'll see if I can carve out some time to put an update together soon.
In reply to Spiritwlf: Thank you in advance!
In reply to kalitka9: I updated the info on the 16th of October, in case you missed it.
In reply to Spiritwlf: sorry to say but for the characters in which GatherMate2 does not work - this did not resolve my issue. But GatherMate2 does work with my other character
In reply to wolfrider309: It doesn't work at all, or doesn't work in some areas? I've completed all of the campaign quests and haven't noticed any issues.
In reply to Spiritwlf: for three of my characters, gathermate2 does not work at all (but I am able to see the location in which I did farm a resource). On all my other five characters - gathermate2 works wonderful - but I am not going to complete the campaign, for it was soon afterwards, gathermate2 stop working on those three
p.s. did disable all addons, reload keyboard to standard and enable addons - no change
p.s.s if you like, we can share a discord meeting and you can see what is on my screen. hopefully would be helpful
In reply to wolfrider309: If you're able to see where you've gathered a resource from, then GatherMate is working. All GatherMate does is record the location on your world map/mini map where the resource was found. The update I provided was for the Data and just adds locations for resources that others have found and uploaded to WoWHead. They're two separate addons, but work together.
I guess what I'm trying to find out is what functionality are you saying doesn't work. Are you not able to see the new nodes from the Data addon and only see nodes from which you've personally gathered?
In reply to Spiritwlf: https://github.com/marthammor/GatherMate2_Data/releases < - use this update or the normal way thru cusreforge?
In reply to wolfrider309: Use the GatherMate 2 updates from Curse.
If you want the WoWHead Data, use the one I linked and tell your Curse app to ignore GatherMate2_Data.
You need both GatherMate2 and GatherMate2_Data if you want all the nodes that WoWHead has. You will also need to go into GatherMate2's setting in the game and import the data if its not set to auto import.
In reply to Spiritwlf: will do
did the update. same issue. so, what I see is this. on the mini map is a green (herb) or red (ore) circle. But no yellow dot in the circle, showing that there is an available resource that can be harvest. I have two screenshots showing the resource. I am not able to paste those two pics in this editor.
it is like something is blocking the yellow dot to appear when a resource is available. since this only happens on three of my characters, I am at a total lost
P.S.S
Woot, thanks Spiritwlf - the answer was so easy. Working now!
In reply to Spiritwlf:
Thank you for creating and posting a database for us. Ijust uploaded it and it's wokring fine for me so far.
Well, finally figure out why GatherMate2 works on some of my characters and not others. The problem happens after completing the campaign quest line in Dornogal (version 11.0). After completing – GatherMate2 does not work but does if you do not complete that quest. Hope that this will assist the creator(s) to fix this issue. (the war within)
Thanks for your time and consideration
