Gather Map remembers where you successfully gathered resources and shows those discoveries on both the minimap and zone world map. It started as a herbalism tool and grew into a broader record of herbs, minerals, custom Survival trees, skinned loot, lockpicking chests and ordinary treasure chests. The map learns as you play: it does not import an authoritative catalog of currently available spawns.
Instead of opaque dots, the overlay uses four small difficulty-colored corner markers. The world map also shows the associated resource icon. Markers re-evaluate against the current character's skill or level, while discoveries remain available across the account.
