Description

What is Routes?

Routes is a farming optimization addon that draws customizable path lines on your minimap and world map connecting gathering node locations into efficient circular routes for herb and ore farming.

Categorized under Map & Minimap, this addon is a must-have for players seeking to improve their World of Warcraft experience on private servers.

Key Features

  • Automated route generation from Gatherer or GatherMate node data
  • Minimap route line overlay showing your optimal farming path in real time
  • World map route display for planning circuits before starting a farming session
  • Travelling Salesman Problem solver optimizing node visit order for shortest path
  • Route customization with manual waypoint insertion and deletion
  • Multi-route support for managing separate circuits in different zones
  • Line color, thickness, and opacity customization per route
  • Tab-target routing for alternating between multiple resource types

Why Routes is Essential

Random wandering while farming herbs or ore is wildly inefficient. Routes converts your gathered node data into an optimized circular path that visits every known spawn point in the shortest possible distance. Following the minimap line turns farming into a relaxing, autopilot activity that maximizes gold per hour with minimal attention.

Supported Expansions

Routes is available for Dragonflight, BFA, WoD, Shadowlands, WotLK, Cataclysm, Legion, Classic, and TBC. Whether you play on a Classic private server or a modern expansion realm, this addon enhances your gameplay across all supported versions.

How to Install Routes

Install Routes alongside Gatherer or GatherMate for node data. Type /routes to create a new route from your database. The addon generates the optimal path automatically, displayed as a line on your minimap.

Installing Routes on a private server

Routes is made by Xinhuan. DivineTop hosts copies built for older game clients so they work on private servers.

Which version do you need?

Private servers run older game clients, and an addon only loads properly on the client it was built for. Pick the download that matches your server's client. To check an addon you already have, open its .toc file: the ## Interface: line should match the number below.

Install steps

  1. Download the Routes build for your client from the Downloads panel above.
  2. Extract the zip into Interface/AddOns inside your World of Warcraft folder. Create the AddOns folder if it doesn't exist yet.
  3. Check the folder name matches the .toc file inside it, for example AddOns/Routes/Routes.toc. Downloads from GitHub often add -master or -main to the folder name, which stops the addon from loading, and the 1.12.1 client is especially strict about this.
  4. Start the game and click AddOns on the character screen. Enable Routes, and tick Load out of date AddOns if it shows as out of date.

Lua errors right after installing almost always mean the build doesn't match your client. Delete the folder and download the version for your patch.
