Id have to look it up to get the exact macro so gimma a bit on that. But the gist of it is that you can restart sampling even with that popup open. So somewhere in the middle of the macro you gotta /sample again. Also im not sure if you have to /stand and then start resampling.

1. Make a macro called Sample with the text:
/stand;
/pause 2;
/sample;
/pause 2;
/stand;
/pause 1;
/sit;
/pause x;
/macro sample
Check how long it takes for you, while sitting, to charge up all the mind and action you used when sampling.
Change the X in /pause x; to the amount of seconds it took, although it must be atleast 28 I believe.
2. Run through the macro a few times so you see you recharge all the mind and action and that you dont use /sample to frequently so it sais you can't sample for another Y seconds.
3. Find somewhere safe to sample, use /macro sample or a hotkey for it.
4. Go out, enjoy life, come back later and you have the XP

Argh, forgot to say:
The windows will still pop up, but when you sit you stop the current /sample, and when you call the macro again with /macro sample it will start a new round of sampling which will not consider the pop ups from the previous samples

Ok surveying gotta be the most boring thing to do as artisan.
So of course I am trying to use a macro for this... what annoys me tho is those popups, with interrupts the surveying.
Might it be a large concentration of resource or chance for a large sample, they both interrupt the sampling macro I am running.
My macro is simpel /sample;/pauseXXX;/sit;/pauseXXX;/kneel, and thus it doesnt take those popups into consideration..
Anyone have a tip on how to get around them or take them into your macro???
Help appriciated

Get a stamina buff so that your not action limited. Takes about 5-7 hours to go through survey like this.

how would you loop the macro? meaning you could go AFK overnight.

it is looping itself:
The command /macro sample will run the macro called 'sample', which is the macro that I posted.
