What it does
Every herb and every vein, on your map. Forever Gather shows herb and ore nodes on the world map and the minimap as the icon of what they give, on a glow in your skill colour, so you see at a glance where to go and what is worth it.
What it does
- Nodes on the world map and the minimap. Each node shows the herb or ore it gives; the pins keep their size when you zoom the map. Hover a pin for the node, the skill it needs and your own rank.
- Coloured by your skill. Orange and yellow still give a skill-up, green seldom, grey never; red is too high for you.
- Filter. A dropdown shows all nodes, only what you can gather, or only skill-ups. Herbs and ores each have a switch.
- Arrow to the nearest node.
/fgather arrowputs an arrow on the screen with the distance;/fgather nearlists the five nearest nodes. - Learns as you gather. A node you gather where none is known is remembered, so the map fills in what the data lacks.
- Herbs and minerals together. With Herbalism and Mining both, an optional switch alternates Find Herbs and Find Minerals every few seconds, never in combat or while resting.
Spawn data
The node spawns come in a separate addon, Forever Gather Data (GPLv3, about 24,500 nodes in 40 zones from the QuestieDB and CMaNGOS spawn lists). Install it next to Forever Gather. Forever Gather runs without it too, and then shows only the nodes you have gathered yourself.

A dropdown in the settings shows all nodes, only what you can gather or only skill-ups, and herbs and ores each have a switch. An arrow on the screen points to the nearest node with its distance (
/fgather arrow), and/fgather nearlists the five nearest. A node you gather where none is known is remembered, so the map fills in what the data lacks.
