Is there a way to search for a particular type of resource?

Question

I often need to track down a specific type of tree, rock, animal, etc. However, the zone map doesn't seem to give any indication of what resources are where. I have to either rely on my limited memory, or just wander in hopes of finding what I'm looking for.

Is there any way in game, on the site, or using some third-party tool, that I can search for a particular resource and get a map of where it can be found?

Answer 1

There is a pretty good site called Zog's Glitchy Tools. You can click any resource, log-in, and it will give you the closest location of that resource to your current location.

Answer 2

My favorite resource site is the Glitch Resource Database. It's quick and doesn't require a login.
