Overview 1. Import WowHead data of all existing nodes into our GatherMate2 add-on (an add-on that shows gathering nodes on the map and the minimap). 2. Create in game route by using Routes addon and optimize it. 3. Convert our in game route to HB profile using RouteBuddy HB plug-in. Pros Fast All or only specific nodes Good for mining or herbalism or both. All available nodes in the zone Routes provides in-game route editor Cons Does not takes into account factions, and route can pass on hostile faction areas. Generated route is not navigation perfect, may contain areas that are hard for passing/navigation. Step by Step 1. Download and install WoW addons, which are esential for our task: GatherMate2 - GatherMate2 - Addons - Curse GatherMate2_Data - GatherMate2_Data - Addons - Curse Routes - Routes - Addons - Curse 2. Download and install HB plug-ins RoutesBuddy - http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...imports-data-routes-addon-exports-gb-gb2.html 3.

Enjoy. P.S. Constructive criticism is welcome, I am new to HB/GB using it for a week or so Update 1.1 : * Changed Gatherer to GatherMate2 plugin as Gatherer DB is not updated for Cataclysm, thanks to shadows. Update 1.2 : * Added route clustering, makes optimization faster and is a must if you have more then 724 nodes.

This is a brilliantly amazing write-up. It allows for someone without any Gatherer style data to immediately get up and running with using GB2 from utilizing Routes style data (which once you get used to, you can actually make some pretty nifty gathering routes with).
the DB doesn't contain any cata nodes, so this only works for WoTLK and down edit: nvm i found a updated version
Yeah just noticed, Gatherer and GathererDB should be replaced with GatherMate2 and GatherMate2_Data plugins Thanks, updated
I know this post is old but is there any other way since routes is outdated on 4.1 patch at least can't run it when installed. Can someone maybe upload a profile here?
or u could just use, does everything for u with 1 button.. http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...9-app-mapgen-profile-generating-tool-gb2.html
