Yeap, no way to make it swim. It will keep hitting the water's surface in flight form or mount and eventually skip the node.

Just to expand on this, to give a detailed explanation on the issue: I turned on the 3d map and path to see what exactly the bot is trying to do. Most of the time, it will click and move to exactly on top of the node, then use the sit/down key(default X) and once it lands on the node, it will start mining. Every now and then, however, it will click on top of the node, but slightly off, so when it holds down the X key, it slides off the node and depending on the terrain, in most cases ends up sliding away from it. Interestingly enough, if there is a monster near the node and agros, the bot will kill the mob, and then find a new path to walk and mine the node. If there is no monster nearby, it will just stand there for a few seconds with the "You are too far away" error and then just fly away, ignoring the node.

I did. I was browsing other threads with gathering problems and I tried all the settings, like I already mentioned. I tried using my own profile, another profile downloaded from the forum and also converted some old gatherbuddy profiles I had laying around. They handle mining nodes equally terribly. I've seen you suggest someone to convert a profil to grind profile and enabling hotspots so it would use pathfinding for every node, but when I try that the bot just goes crazy and keeps flying up and down.

Oh I tried that, I tried pretty much every settings I could find already. It was so frustrating that I moved to ground farming in Kalimdor and the path finding there works wonderfully. It climbs slopes I didn't even knew were climbable and avoids all obstacles, while flying in northrend is just constantly sliding away from nodes and humping walls. I thought it's a mesh issue so I tried redownloading but that didn't help.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but not, it's not very rare and happens all the time, no matter if I'm on a flying mount or in flying form. It's usually accompanied by [Farming] Still moving! - Please verify if your key binding "Sit/Move Down" is assigned. Even though I have default key bindings on. Looks like it will then blacklist the node and after a while the farm just slows down drastically as it skips a lot of them.
