So, to review: use the latest GatherDB package, but replace ONLY the DB_a file with the lloydpick lua data file. There's data for at least the new Cata Mount Hyjal area and many others (donno if ALL the new areas or not, but it looks like it). You'll see the 'Importing Wowhead database' percentage and bar display, and it will NOT stop at 90-some percent. That actually integrates all the data in the DB_a file (in this case, the new one I downloaded) into the Gatherer display. At the gather screen, click on 'Database'. You end up with a GatherDB addon that doesn't have a 'Download' button!Ĥ - Fire up WoW, ensure Gatherer and GatherDB are enabled for one of my characters, enter the game with that character.ĥ - Enter at the chat line gatherer /config. NOTE: I did NOT bother downloading any of the other files at that location, because they BREAK, repeat, BREAK the entire process. old (just so I could compare).ģ - Downloaded the DB_a file from (the link in several messages below). I didn't make it, but it's here on this link:ġ - Downloaded (manually) the latest GatherDB_WowHead package from here, extracted it to my Addons folder.Ģ - Renamed the DB_a to. I found the solution to the bug of no nodes showing. I am sure this will be fixed next time Norganna updates its add-on.įor now, this post on Norgannas forums works perfectly. The problem that is occurring is the database file ' DB_a' that comes with the current Gatherer build is damaged, its missing a lot of information. While Norganna uses Wowhead to collect the node information, it isn't wowheads responsibility to make it work with Gatherer. (TLDR: Wowhead has nodes that aren't in the latest version of the Gatherer DB plugin. Looking up node information by zone on the actual website shows that there have been tons of uploads by lots of players, but most of that information simply isn't in the version of the Gatherer DB plugin that's available for 4.x. I've been spending most of my WoW time lately flying around to gather unmapped nodes, because I'm obsessive-compulsive and don't like large empty areas on the map. Some zones (mainly ones where Archaeology can be used) are paved with herb nodes or ore nodes (sometimes both), while other zones have almost nothing.

Since all old node dataz were wiped when Azeroth got reformatted, the only nodes in the DB are what a handful of players uploaded to Wowhead. Unfortunately, this plugin has been updated only once since Cataclysm came out (I've been checking regularly for updates, and it still says Dec. I use Gatherer, and I like it, and the plugin that adds Wowhead's compiled data for node locations makes it even better.
