Gatherer is an addon for herbalists, miners and treasure hunters in World of Warcraft. It's main purpose is to track the closest plants, deposits and treasure locations on your minimap.
The addon does not track like a tracking ability does, rather it "remembers" where you have found various items in the past. It does this whenever you gather (perform herbalism, mining or opening) on an item, and records the specific map location in its history. From then on, whenever the item comes into range of being one of the closest 1-25 (configurable) items to your present location, it will pop up on you minimap.
When you view your World Map, you will also see the item locations marked on the particular map you are viewing there.
INSTALLATION:
--------------
Extract the data to your "World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns" directory so that the "Gatherer" directory is a subdirectory of the "AddOns" directory.
USAGE:
--------------
Just use the game as normal.
When you gather things, they will appear on your minimap and your main map.
If you want to configure the addon, click the Gatherer configuration icon floating around your minimap frame or type /gather options.
CONTRIBUTING:
--------------
Gatherer is an open source project, and is built upon the donations and the support of the community.

The 3.1.1 version has been posted here, at WoWInterface since 28 March 2008. As long as the site is accessible, all updates at the main site, GathererAddOn.Com/dl , will be posted here as well.
Also, the issue you mention is reflected in the changelog here and at the main site.
Appreciate your providing the information though.

Just for your information

The only issue that was found, once the servers went live is that the minimap did not always display data correctly at times while in the new region, Kel'D Island. Gatherer should have been working flawlessly elsewhere.
The 3.1 version, which is the full 2.4 compliant release, has no known issues.
If Gatherer "doesn't work" for you, please let us know what errors you are seeing and what other addons you are running.

Just a quick note to let you know that the current version of Gatherer, 3.0.6, has been verified to fully function on the WoW 2.4 test realm.
We will, of course, continue to check with each patch and make an effort to correct any issues that may arise.
As a reminder, since some AddOns may not be updated right away, always be sure to keep the "Load Out of Date AddOns" check box on the main WoW menu "checked". The menu is accessed via the Addons button in the lower left of the Character Selection screen.
Enjoy the Sun Well content and, of course, finding goodies with Gatherer!

I am not sure what is wrong with the add-on but after the last major update I keep getting error messages after each herb pick.
Maybe the maker of this program should look at it.
It makes it very easy to find the herbs I use for my own potions and elixirs real easy but with each error I get it gets annoying.
I enjoy the usefulness of this addon. I use it only in world map view though because the minimap implementation is horrendously slow. That is the only gripe I have with the mod. Its great otherwise!
I used this before I got Cartographer installed, and I was pleased to see the two work together (meaning they don't conflict).
However I then noticed the minimap update speed of waypoints created/tracked by cartographer is spot on spunky! So... maybe the author of Gatherer could sneak a peak at their code to see how its done right. Because the minimap update speed of gatherer, as I mentioned above, is its only downfall.
Originally posted by DomJudex Looks like whatever plans there were for Auctioneer and Gatherer have fallen by the wayside. No updates on either of the sites for a while now
The gamma version is out for those who know how to get it and its working nicely at the moment. Some of the new updates include a timer of how long ago you last saw the herb/chest/ore as well as sending info to others with Gatherer in your guild/party/raid. I do hope this soon gets out of Gamma so others can use it.
