ESO - HarvestMap Add On

So if you can stomach using add-ons which basically make certain aspects of the game a LOT easier, then check out HarvestMap.

Basically, it puts floating markers on the landscape so you can see nodes from a MUCH greater distance than even if you have such skills trained up to max level. It also overlays the icons on the compass, so you can choose either or, or both. You can also filter by the kinds of resources you want to see.

The best part (and what I was doing this evening) is that the add-on will map out a route for you to hit known nodes in your map area. You can make it a small or large circuit, and then all you do is follow the red waypoint on the compass from node to node.

This is a great way to spend a night collecting resources, and if you're a multi-crafter, you can hit up OTHER resources along the way (I was collecting runes while out getting metals).

The downside is that to get the latest data on nodes, you need to upload four LUA files that the add-on uses and updates as you play. Once you do that, they allow you to DOWNLOAD a copy of the files that includes your data as well as data from other users of the add-on. This is the same way that I've been working with market data in Elite Dangerous through a site called INARA.CZ.
