    The spots the nodes are in are generally free from enemies.

    So collect the nodes.... log out ... log in .... collect the next batch... rinse and repeat as necessary.

    Takes less than a minute to do multiples.

    You don't need to logout or teleport either, you just need to go out of node render distance, usually around 40-50 ingame metres.

    yeah, but I think moving away and then moving back may take more time than just log out/in

    It doesn't. Other than for like one or two surveys running out of render distance is far faster than log-in/log-out, porting to a house, to the wayshrine and back.

    I've collected a lot of surveys, even made a chart of all the places to run to to reset them... and I will collect 3 or 4 in the time (for most locations) in the time somebody doing the above collects 2.
    Tenacious Dreamer - Hurricane Herald - Godslayer - Dawnbringer - Gryphon Heart - Tick Tock Tormenter - Immortal Redeemer - Dro-m'Athra Destroyer
    The Unchained - Oathsworn - Bedlam's Disciple - Temporal Tempest - Curator's Champion - Fist of Tava - Invader's Bane - Land, Air, and Sea Supremacy - Zero Regrets - Battlespire's Best - Bastion Breaker - Ardent Bibliophile - Subterranean Smasher - Bane of Thorns - True Genius - In Defiance of Death - No Rest for the Wicked - Nature's Wrath - Undying Endurance - Relentless Raider - Depths Defier - Apex Predator - Pure Lunacy - Mountain God - Leave No Bone Unbroken - CoS/RoM/BF/FH Challenger

    I'm not sure who said it, but if surveys could go into your craft bag and sit tight there I'd be one happy camper.

    As it is now, I have one toon that holds all my surveys. A lot of wasted bag space, but until they drop their rare housing material, I'm completely uninterested in doing them.

    I can only speak as someone who like gathering, but walking away and back and gathering in the meantime is an added bonus to the survey for me.

    I've had best luck with getting out of LOS, seems to be less time-consuming to me.

    And please give us extra account-wide inventory for them.

    Not too much, maybe just 50-100 slots.

    Right now, having to carry them on the current character plus the inventory this requires is just annoying.
