Default Gathering quests Tip

The stock WoW UI now includes "drop" notes on mouse over. When doing a gathering quest pick up all but one item on your main, Then concentrate on the slaves. That way the tooltip box will still show you need items. As well Items in game that are "ground" drops will continue to glow so they are easily highlighted.

Found this works best for me hope it helps others.

Good tip.

I actually do this with my non-main toons first and save any pick ups for my main until last. This way, if I have a brain fart and pick up that last item on my main before the non-mains are done, I don't cause myself additional work or make things more difficult.

Fursphere on the other boxing site recommended an addon called Mappy.

With Mappy, the minimap becomes a square and can be resized.
You can have it stobe resources in a very easy to see blue/yellow pattern.
And you can have the slave minimap the entire size of their screen if you want.

It is not as pretty as SexyMap or a few of the others.
But is extremely functional, as far as having slaves track herbs/minerals, and noticing their detection on your main's screen.

With Jamba to forward any chat the slaves receive.
And a good assist system, you could play without seeing the slave windows at all.
Well, up until the master dies and you need to PiP swap the slave into the main screen.
