This is never a problem. If you’re running low just keep chaining skyward ascent (You’ll get the thrill buff) and then you can just dive to refill the last one or two.

have you considered, that you dont need to jump and fly towards those nodes that are 5ft away from another one…?

If the next node is close enough to see on the mini map I just walk to it. Otherwise wait a second or so after you harvest and the regen will usually give you a gem back. The recent changes were actually pretty good with that. Regens for a shorter time, but regens a lot. Also remember that you do not have to use Ascent constantly. If you are on anything remotely cliff like, you can just walk or normal jump off to start gliding naturally.
I don’t really run out of vigor very often while harvesting unless I really screwed up.
Oh, another trick a friend of mine told me too. If you see two nodes where one is low down and another high up, go to the high one first. Drop your bronze portal and harvest the node, and hen go to the lower one and harvest that. Then all you do is take your portal back up, and you are high enough when you walk off that you build up speed for Thrill. Er, this might only work if you have unlocked the ability to harvest while mounted though.

i have unlocked all the tree , bronze portals ? you mean elemental overload on deposit wich opens the portal ?
wich then has a 11 hour cd for me 
The cd drastically reduces the more elemental nodes you mine.
yes i do want that node 5 foot away from me 5 stories up on the column . normaly i go too for the highest one then the lowest node then another one close then another for 2 or more hours to pay for my token

have you seen how many new botts are out in the world harvesting nodes on dragons
. i watched as 5 landed on the node at the same time as i did .the node vanished when i hit the node ,
but my problem with vigor running out
is just me apparently
Nope. I haven’t noticed any bots yet.
I don’t mass harvest though. I only hit rich or elemental nodes. If it’s a basic node. I don’t waste my time.
No, I think the actual skill is called Bronze Timelock. The drake skill. Sorry, I just think of it as a portal since it drops a little portal looking thing when you use it. You use the timelock on the high node and then harvest it, and then glide down to the low node and harvest it. Then you just reset the timelock and you are back to high up.

There is a default dragonriding ability, normally set to 3 on the action bar. That sets a rewind point. You stop. Use it, leave and if you click it again it teleports you back to where you set it. Thats what he means by bronze portal

Whenever I’m going anywhere, i just go straight up into the air, up up up up until I’m super high, then i point in the general direction of where i need to go, tip my nose down at a slight angle, and i always arrive with full vigor lol

I dragon ride frkm valdrakken to iskarra several times a day without stops. Don’t spam your Vigor. Ascend! Glide! Soar! Build upward momentum I usually only leave one vigor often after I achieve the altitude I want them I’m soaring and gliding and bing bing tuskarr town
Also if you see onaharan winds nearby steer into it and boom big burst of momentum

Yeah the dragon riding bot that they use has programming to constantly keep its vigor charges up. Saw an army of about 30 of them in azure span the other day doing seperate loops nonstop entire day.

It depends on the zone. Waking shore it is pretty easy to chain farm since most of the ores are fluctuating from being on top of a mountain to slightly down a mountain to on the ground, so you can just drop down and grab some extra vigor from falling straight down.
Azure Span and to a lesser extent the plains on the other hand is horrible for me, the ore seems to always be spread far apart on flat land with no large hills in sight, so I am just flying straight with one vigor and a dream hoping an ore shows up before I run out of vigor and have to land.

Picking a gathering node generates 1 vigor. It is literally impossible to run out unless you are spamming Surge Forward and Whirling Surge.

lol…DRing is fine and has MORE than enough vigor.
exactly.
that recent vigor change wasnt even needed, lol.
And it makes it charge fast enough that no one should be running out.
I cant wait till normal flight comes so they can shut up about DRing before blizzard ruins it for them.
