Here is a guide on how to make farming 10x easier!
First, you will need the following AddOns:
-GatherMate
-GatherMate_Data
-Routes
After Downloading the AddOns, turn them on in Character Screen.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO THIS FIRST
Step 1: Type /gathermate
Step 2: Go the Import Section
Step 3: Check off what you want imported
Step 4: Click Auto Import
Step 5: Then click Import Gatherdata
Now...
-Open Routes box by typing /routes
-Click on Add
-Select your area of farm, eg: Icecrown
-Name your route. eg: Icecrown Herbs
-Make sure Gathermate is checked.
-Check off all the herbs/gas/nodes you want to track
-Click Select Route
Next...
-Go to Routes section on the left side
-Find your route
-Press the tab Optimize Route
-Press Cluster [leave at 60 (Note you will lag a little)]
-Make sure Extra Optimization is checked
-Press Foreground (Note you will lag a lot depending on your area)
Now when that is done, look at your map on where you decided to make a route. You will see a line that represents a route. Follow the line and you'll find herbs/nodes/gas clouds in no time.
Here is a macro for herbalism/mining people:

If you want a new route, follow the guide above and use a different region.
