I’m a few weeks behind on my podcasts, so I’m getting caught up here.
There’s a stopwatch built into WoW’s default clock UI, so you don’t need to download an app for timing your farm. Also, for your farming if you stand just right on one of your middle plants in a given row, you can farm 3 plots on the row without moving and a quick tap of your movement keys/mouse will let you do the same for the row that’s next to it.
Interestingly enough, I find it easier to find that sweet spot on smaller races than I do on large races. My Tauren Druid has a heck of time being able to harvest more than 4 nodes from a single spot, while my Human Mage nails it with ease.
Also, in terms of planting your seeds you can macro that to make it faster/easier as well. I’m not sure if you’ve talked about it before so it might be old news, but here’s what it looks like:
#showtooltip
/tar Tilled Soil
/use [mod:alt] Songbell Seed; Enigma Seed
The first line will show you how many of that seed you have in your inventory, the second targets a plot that’s ready to be planted in, and then the third plants the Enigma Seed by default or Songbell if you’re holding alt.
In 5.2 you’ll be able to plant 4 seeds at once, so it might not be as important to use a macro for this, but I’m sure I’ll just modify the macro to use the new seed bags and keep right on using it.
