Mining While Mounted (Patreon)

Currently it is possible to mine nodes while mounted without having to dismount.

Open your:

(bottom right) talents & spellbook - (bottom left tab) spellbook - (top left) General -- (middle left) Skyriding - when you click on the menu a number of icons appear choose the furthest one on the right "switch flight style"

This needlessly complex procedure enables you to fly normally as everyone did up until the Dragonflight expansion. In this older flight mode you can mine nodes while mounted. This only works while hovering above the ground, it does not work if you actually land. This makes mining in a localized area faster and causes less problems with mobs.

Skyriding or what was called Dragonflight until recently, is still better for crossing large distances, so you will have to use judgement as to when to switch flight styles. There is a 5 second delay while changing styles.

Worth adding this recent infinite mining exploit is still active:
