What is the respawn rate of resource nodes on your server, I made a WP to cover the entire map and by the time I get back to the start the nodes haven't respawned yet, it takes 2-3 laps of the entire map before they appear again.
Remember no matter you do in life to always have a little fun while you are at it
Is different from zone to zone. then comes to other farms that also one or the other. 2-3 are sometimes rounded normally. Waypoints in my later, after a day I've made new all over again, using ygather. Because then I could only really see them all.
I have the feeling that one must first farming a particular pattern, which make certain to come again.

Been gathering myself lately starting from the newbie areas, and am now about level 66.
Making a gathering WP seems to require more then just walking to every node you come across. Notice when you've done a round, the respawns will differ slightly.
How I made and tweaked my gathering waypoints for best efficiency (using Ygather addon) I :
- Farm the desired materials manually, as many nodes as u come across 1st round.
- After 1st round, make the gathering WP using the nodes u already farmed, AND the new nodes that have appeared.
- Let the gatherer do a few rounds of gathering using bot, then later check your characters progress.
- In my opinion necessary evil, add any scattered nodes that still seem to appear elsewhere to be sure to gather close to 100% of the material on that map.
- Add change channels to the waypoint to boost your leveling speed.
Why these steps?
Respawn rates on most maps are terrible. Even using this method, often a round may consist of just 4-5 farmable nodes out of the 40.
Also for some reason, I believe that having a second gatherer in the same area, but gathering another material, increases the respawn rate for the other materials (would make sense cause a completely empty map would be stupid).
I admit it's not as much fun as just creating a mob farming WP, but this sure got me most out of every map. I'll add some of my WPoints when able to.

this is the same, ^^
i use ygather too, and i let the ot run one day, and harvest a bit by hand, so that ALL points registert by ygather,,, than i make the waypoints new, with ALL points.

HEy...anyone have a working waypoint for ore/wood/herb for ravenfell? would really appreciate it. and btw is it possible to add in wp file to use superior collection pots?
just an idea, not actually sure how the "TRAVEL" command works with this bot, but reading the wiki page it only states it wont attack mobs at all.. so maybe add the "TRAVEL" command into the harvest and break it every so often to clear the mobs off??
just an idea, again im not sure on how the "TRAVEL" works..
also would more then likely have to be farming with a high level char to be able to do this ofc..
