WoW Forever gathering bot
Gathering professions, hands off
Pick a profession and click start. The bot maps the node spawns, routes between them on respawn timers, and gathers through the whole session — mining ore, picking herbs, or skinning kills.
The engine
Mining, herbalism& skinning supported
Mining
Copper to Thorium and beyond. The bot paths ore spawns in a loop, mines them on respawn, and smelts stacks into bars for auction or alt crafting.
Herbalism
Peacebloom to Black Lotus. The bot routes herb spawns by zone, adjusting the path as nodes deplete and respawn, and mails stacks to your auction alt.
Skinning
Paired with grinding or farming, the bot skins every kill in range. No wasted leather — it loots, skins, and moves on in one fluid motion.
Under the hood
How gatheringautomation works
Node-aware routing
The bot knows where every ore vein and herb spawn is in the zone. It routes between them on a respawn loop, skipping depleted nodes and adjusting the path as competition clears them.
Loot and mail handling
Stacks are organized by item type as they come in. When bags fill, the bot mails materials to your auction alt and gets back to the route — no manual bag management.
Scheduled gathering
Run your gathering route overnight, during work hours, or on a weekly schedule. The bot starts, gathers, and logs out on its own — same scheduling engine as farming.
Level-appropriate zones
The bot reads your profession skill level and routes to the right zone for it. Skill 75 Copper in Elwynn, skill 150 Iron in the Barrens — no wasted time on gray nodes.

Gathering FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Mining, herbalism, and skinning are all supported. Mining and herbalism use node-aware routing between spawn points. Skinning runs on top of a farming or grinding session and skins every kill in range with no extra setup.
The bot skips depleted nodes and routes to the next available spawn point. If a node is taken when the bot reaches it, it moves on immediately. Running during off-peak hours with the scheduling engine minimizes competition.
The bot mails stacks of ore, herbs, or leather to the alt character you specify, then gets back to the route. If no mailbox is nearby, it can hearth to a city and bank everything instead. You choose the behavior in settings.
Yes. The bot reads your current profession skill and routes to the right zone for it. If your mining is at skill 65, it routes you to a tin and silver zone — not a thorium zone where you cannot mine, and not a copper zone where nodes are gray.
