Gatherer ModFollow

Does anybody know how to read the gatherer mod, such as what do the numbers mean on it. Why doesn't it tell you when a node has popped back up. I am really interested to know this.

iirc the numbers are how far away the node is, and how long it will take you to get there.

it doesn't tell you when the node comes back up because it doesn't know. you only know when a node is active when you are within range of it. there's no way to know otherwise.

I believe the count is the number of times you've harvested that node. There is a readme.txt file which comes with the mod, take a peek in there, I'll bet you can find the answer. :) I don't much care about the numbers myself so I haven't checked. I will have to check to see why it does not place notes on my world map; however. I do have notes enabled with my CTMod and world map option is turned on. Even tried turning it off then on to reset and nada. Oh well. :) Still a cool mod.

It allows you to see all things on Track to the limit of your minimap. Just hit the button, and it is like you are looking through binoculars. But MORE importantly, you can slowly turn in a circle, and see things 'pop'up on your map FAR outside your normal range. Keeps you from running to a 'node' that isn't up yet. Also lets you see things that are up, but you have yet to harvest.

One of the best things Engineering has to offer those who don't have engineering skill. Probably be able to pick one up for 1g or there abouts. Just advertise you are wanting one, and I am sure you will find someone who has one or can make one. I rarely see them in AH, more so because no one puts engineering things on it.

I think some of the numbers are how many times the node has been "up" when on your radar, rather than how many times you've mined it. I think this because there are some "bad" nodes I always avoid after the first mistake of trying to mine/harvest, yet they still show numbers higher than the one time I actually tried to harvest it.

I'm fairly certain that there is a distance counter in "units" that gives an estimated time that it would take you to get to that node. I've been using gatherer from around lvl 20 to lvl 60 on my main and now on my alts. It's a great/useful mod especially if you put the time into hitting a zone hard. You'll have all the spawn points for future refrence, even with your alts!
