​
1. Open the settings window

Any of the following opens the in-game settings UI:
  • Left-click the minimap button.
  • Type /volvox (or /volvox settings / /volvox config) in chat.
  • Right-click the minimap button → Settings.
If you previously hid the minimap button, restore it with: 
/volvox minimap

​
2. Configure LootRoute

In the LootRoute settings category:
  1. Enable the professions you want under gathering options — herbalism (gatherer.enable_herbalism) and/or mining (gatherer.enable_mining) are on by default.
  2. Pick a route from the route dropdown. Routes are JSON files stored under C:/WGG/scripts/Gatherer/route/.
  3. Choose your mount mode and flight speed to match your character.
You can record your own route: set a new route name and radius, use Start route recording, add waypoints as you fly the loop, then Save recorded route. See Routes and data.

​
3. Start the bot

Two equivalent ways:
  • Right-click the minimap button → Enable Bot.
  • Use the LootRoute Start control in the settings UI.
Starting the bot sets the internal status to RUN and the state machine takes over — scanning for nodes, following the route, gathering, and handling combat. See State machine for what each state means. To stop, right-click the minimap button → Disable Bot (this pauses the bot, halts navigation, and persists the disabled state).

​
4. Watch what’s happening

  • Enable gatherer.show_status to display a draggable one-line status frame showing the bot’s current state.
  • All user-facing output goes through the logger with a colored [Volvox][TYPE] prefix in chat.
  • For verbose diagnostics, enable gatherer.debug_scan — volvox:LogDebug messages only print while it is on.
