I have 3 of those large storage chests dedicated to surveys, just stacking them until I can be bothered to go collect, because it's such a hassle to have to log out or run off a distance for the nodes to respawn
I do wish they hadn't gone down this path of treating what's supposed to be a massive continent like a tiny island but that ship sailed with One Tamriel and theres no going back at this point.
Beyond that you get- at best, an average of one survey per character a day from doing the 6 writs that can drop surveys. Surveys not stacking and requiring you to actually go places and dig them up is only a hassle for the people who choose to do writs on like 5-36 characters a day.
I used to do them on 6 and it was chore that effectively turned the game into a second job. But that wasn't the games fault and good lord it made me a lot of gold.
Do them if you need them, destroy them if you don't. I've come to realize that surveys are for newer players, they aren't and shouldn't be reliable income for late-game players.

I really doubt that. Surveys are for basic resorce farming that can be refined into gold mats.
The refined mats i do sell, i dont need them but gold is another matter.

I log out. takes 10 seconds.
I log in . takes 15 seconds
I harvest the nodes
Rinse and repeat as needed
How hard is that?
You don't need to relog: just move way from the nodes and approach again. Use the distance between Geirmund' Hall Wayshrine and The Eastmarch's enchantment survey report location as a benchmark.barney2525 wrote: »I stay at the spot. Its gonna be safe because its a survey zone.
