Exploit the Gatherer Mod

[Matt]

The Gatherer Mod is a very powerful tool for people who have gather professions such as Herbalism or Mining. It can also be used to find Chests.


The way it works, is as soon as you discover a "node" It marks it for you, so you can view it later, and always know where "nodes" should appear.

I have tested this a few times, and so far, I’m 99% positive that ALL servers have the same node spawn, meaning, using someone else’s Gatherer info, will mark nodes on your server.


First things first.
Here is a link to DL Gatherer if you don't have it:



Now, to copy someone else’s files, you'll need to have access to there computer, or have them send the files you need to you.


The files are located in the WoW folder here:
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\ACCOUNT NAME\SavedVariables
(Default loc, if you saved WoW to a different location, then look for it there. Replace Account name with the name you log into the game with.)

This file, also needs to be copied:
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Gatherer



Here is a Profile you can use until you find a better one

anyone been banned for doing this yet?

[janzi9]

Dunno why you could get banned. And it can't be detected either so.. Meh.

[Kalen24]

Are these files complete (or fairly complete), ie they show most of the spawn points for herbs/veins?

[janzi9]

I wouldn't know over here, sorry. I don't use Gatherer.

It adds as you collect herbs and stuff too...
uhmm.. compare it with the thottbot database if you want.. its pretty complete.
