Tarou's Custom Routes Guide SQ

First, head over to curse.com or wherever you get your addons from and download the latest version of Routes. From there, go ahead and install like you would any other addon by putting it in your interface > addons folder.

  • Windows Users:
    My Computer > Users > Public > Games > World of Warcraft > Interface > Addons

    Mac Users:
    Desktop > Go Menu > Applications >World of Warcraft > Interface > Addons
  • Click here to get Tarou's custom Routes file for Mining, Herbalism, & Mining/Herb Combo!
  • After downloading the above zipped file, unzip it and extract the enclosed file to the WTF > Account > Your Account Name > Saved Variables folder and overwrite the existing Routes.lua file. For Windows users you can find this by going to My Computer > Users > Public > Games > World of Warcraft > WTF > Account > Account Name > Saved Variables. For Mac users you can find this by clicking on your desktop and then the 'Go' menu on the top. Click 'Applications' and scroll down to 'World of Warcraft' and select it. Then click on WTF > Account > Your Account Name > Saved Variables folder.
  • But what if you already have routes you wish to keep? No problem. Open up the Routes.lua file that you downloaded with any text editor like Word Pad or similar. Then copy everything down like you see me doing here for each zone from the top of the zone name to just before the next zone's name and paste it after a zone you already have routes for like this. If you just want to add a few routes to a zone you already have a route for, just copy the entire route from its name to just before the next route's name and paste it after or before any route you already have saved like you see me doing in the video with Uldum.
  • That's it. Now go ahead, save it, and see if it works by logging into WoW and typing /routes. Then, go to a zone and see if the routes are listed there. I have several routes for each high level zone and will update these with new routes periodically.
  • So, there you go. A simple way to get the routes I use in all my gathering gold making profession guides. I hope you liked this video and don't forget to let me know in the comments or by thumbs up'ing how everything worked out and if you have any problems.
  • Thanks for watching and reading this guide!

too bad you couldn't make an overlay add on for all areas instead of me having to remember where the heck i've been. also looking for a whack of titanium nodes with no luck.

for some reason some of the overlays won't show up on my map. I know they are there because when I click to edit the route it will show up on my map but I have to keep opening my map up just to follow it and it's very inconvenient. The Cataclysm ones especially. I tried downloading it again and I keep getting the same result.

Would it be possible for you to do routes for the lower level mining/herbalism as well as the high level ones?

So I downloaded these custom routes, and I was only able to see the one in Twilight Highlands, and I went to Deepholm but couldn't see anything and I read a lot of the posts here saying that the overlay isn't showing up. I was pretty cheesed when the routes weren't showing up but I found out that they are hidden from the map by default. So you have to open '/routes' in game expand the routes tab on the side, expand the area you are in EX Deepholm, choose the route you want to see and in the 'Line Settings' tab on the top right, there is a box that is automatically checked off and it is 'Hide Route'. Just uncheck the box and you should be good. Thanks Tarou for these great guides!

I explain that in the video for the routes but, maybe I need to do a new video that is more basic. Thank you.

Awesome addon! <3
However, your routes doesn`t show in either the minimap or the map itself.
Any idèa how to fix that?

Edit: Nevermind, I suck at reading the other comments here >.<
