ZoneInfo Classic (Cataclysm)
ZoneInfo Classic is an addon for WoW Classic Cataclysm that displays various information on the World Map about the currently selected zone.
The following information can be displayed (as text):
- zone name, color-coded (friendly, neutral, hostile)
- zone level range, color-coded to indicate difficulty
- fishing skills if the zone supports fishing: minimum level to be able to fish, minimum level to be able to fish without get-aways and the current fishing skill of the character (color coded to indicate difficulty)
- skinning skills, calculated value showing the minimum skill required to skin a mob of the minimum zone level and the minimum skill required to skin a mob of the maximum zone level (color coded to indicate difficulty)
- road connections, color coded (friendly, contested, hostile)
- transport connections like boats, zeppelins and portals, color-coded (friendly, neutral, hostile)
- instances including group size and level range, color coded to indicate difficulty
- flight nodes, color-coded (friendly, neutral, hostile)
- herbs: required skill level, color-coded to indicate difficulty
- mining nodes: required skill level, color-coded to indicate difficulty
- travel advice: if possible, a travel advice will be composed, using road connections and transports, to travel from the zone the character is in to the zone displayed on the map
Other functionalities:
- minimize button
- optional background with adjustable transparency
- adjustable panel size
- configurable through the WoW Interface menu, allowing to configure the background (on/off, transparency), change the panel size and turn information categories on or off.
- all settings are saved per character

The information ZoneInfo displays on the World Map is localized.

Hi there, thanks for your appreciation and your suggestion :-)
I like the idea to add level information for herbs and mining to the zone info. However, all information displayed by ZoneInfo is provided by LibTourist-Classic, which currently does not contain such information. I will propose this idea to my co-author for LibTourist and see if there's a good way to retrieve such data from the WoW API.
When LibTourist can provide the data, I will add it to the information displayed by ZoneInfo.
Best regards,
Odica

Many thanks! Know how crazy it can get to keep track of such things (especially on retail) but hopefully the changes are minimal in Classic over time.

The advantage of Classic is that the number of herbs is fairly limited and the way levels and such are organized is much more static and straight-forward than in retail. Adding herbalism information to LibTourist is doable for Classic but wil be a lot of work for retail.
In fact, the addition of herb data to LibTourist-Classic is as good as finished and ZoneInfo has already been adapted to display the data, so expect an update as soon as the new LibTourist comes available.
If all works fine, I plan to do the same for mining nodes, using the same concept.
