Hearthomatic:
This plugin works with archaeologybuddy and re-examines if the digsite chosen is really the best option.
It will use your hearthstone, portals, items and potions if it finds a better way to travel.
The result is a significantly faster ArchaeologyBuddy.
Example:
I am in Hyjal, the nearest digsite is very far away, but there's one close to Uldum. This plugin will use my hearthstone to get back to Stormwind, fly to and use the Stormwind -> Uldum portal, and then resume archaeology buddy from there. Archaeology buddy will choose the now closer digsite. Saving probably >20minutes in the process.
Features:
- Uses single stage portals (hearthstone) all the way up to 3 stage portals (potion of deepholm -> deepholm stormwind portal -> stormwind hyjal portal)
- Automatically detects and uses portals that are available to you (mage portals, quest, items and potions). So it doesn't matter if you haven't done all the portal quests yet.
- Blacklisting digsites is supported. However in almost all cases this is a false economy. (ie: don't do it)
Install:
- Make a directory under your plugins called hearthomatic (each plugin seems to need to be in its own folder now)
- Copy hearthomatic.cs to your HonorBuddy/Plugins/Hearthomatic folder
- Restart HonorBuddy.
- Enable the plugin in the list.
Status:
99% afk safe.
but needs more testing on the horde side.
Supported portals:

(You don't need to equip the teleport items (eg the teleport cloaks and rings), Hearthomatic handles equipping and swapping back of any items necessary)
Known Issues:
- Designed for / tested on a level 85 character with flying. Lower level characters may have issues, but may still work.
- Has been tested mostly for Alliance on Kalimdor, needs more testing by horde players (I don't have a horde 85 character)
- There is a (mostly) rare bug that causes hearthomatic to bug out midway through taking a portal chain. this is because honorbuddy sometimes take a very long time to update the zoneid of the characters location. eg, you could be in uldum, but honorbudy's zone id still says your in stormwind. (hint hint devs). As of 0.14 this bug should be even rarer.
Problems with the Hearthstone:
There seems to be no way to determine where in the world your hearthstone actually goes. This is because Wow saves your hearth location wherever you were actually standing when you set your hearth, so for each innkeeper there are literally thousands of different locations a hearthstone could be set to. The only things available to the player (and thus HB) are a name, and an area id #.
To get around this the plugin will check with an online database of known hearthstone locations, if it still isn't recognized it will use your hearthstone and then submit the results to the database. From then on everyone can benefit. Unfortunately you may have to stop the bot afterwards and travel back to the continent you want to farm on.
Notes:
- If you are a Mage, don't forget to set your hearthstone somewhere strategic for even better travel times.
- Instead of some other methods, hearthomatic is known to make heavy use of the Tol Barad portals to get to your capital city. This is because the total travel distance is less, even tho an extra portal is used.

update 20140915:
been working with skillt to test a new version of hearthomatic. i think he's been running it 24/7 ;P
it seems more reliable, because of the way its done it should be less prone to issues, and is faster between the portals because its better at detecting the loading screens.
however its probably going to be a buddy store product for a few pounds, otherwise id have no interest in maintaining it. cept i dont have store access to do so.
until then it's been hosted elsewhere on another website.
