WoW 100g in 20 minutes - Video

If you have a gathering profession and haven't seen Cartographer Routes addon yet, you're really missing out. With mining, I regularly make 60g in 20 minutes with that addon. That's REGULARLY. Sometimes I make more. Watch this video by the MakeWowGold team to see how well the addon works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQIMPZ0LA5o

On the video the player actually made 100G in 20 minutes since he got lucky and got a Star of Elune. Think about it, the more herb/ore that you are able to hit in a certain time, the more likely to get something valuable like that. Again, here's the instructions to how you install this addon:

1. Download the WoWAceUpdater http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WowAceUpdater

2. Once you've installed it, you can choose which Ace addons you want. Choose and install:
* Cartographer* Cartographer Data* Cartographer Herbalism or Cartographer Mining or both, depending on your Professions* Cartographer Routes

3. Once in the game, you should see a small 'Screw' icon on your minimap. Click that and choose Cartographer from the list of addons (other Ace addons will appear if you have them installed).

4. Configure Herbalism/Mining to display how you want it. You'll know it's working correctly if you open your map and see a ton of ore/herb symbols all over the place. (Unless you're in a city, obviously....then just chose a zone that should.)

5. Add and configure Routes from the Routes screen. I walk through that below. Before you do, I recommend you change the global setting of the Route size to the minimum (I think it's 10). The default is like 35 and puts quite a thick line on your map that can actually block you from seeing the spawn points.

Routes:
1. From the configuration screen (which you get from clicking the Screw icon), choose Routes, Add.
2. Give your route a name. Start with something like "Netherstorm Ore All".
3. Choose the zone of the map the route applies to. (ie: Netherstorm for the example)
4. Click the Data dropdown, and then check on all that you want to find. For now, let's start with all of them (Fel Iron, Adamantite, Rich Adamantite, Khorium). If you can see your map, you'll see that it basically draws a line from every spawn point to every other spawn point. Not very helpful. That's why the next step is so important.
5. Optimize! I choose the 'Extra Optimized' option, and optimize in the fore-ground. (doing it in the background lets you keep playing WoW while it calculates the route...I just prefer to let it get the route done faster.)

TA-DA! You should have the most efficient (shortest) route that will circuit the map and hit every spawn point along the way! Now you can just fly along this route (you don't have to stick exactly to it), and you will fly over every point on a given zone.
