They're seals, I think. Endeavours are the tasks you need to complete to get 400 seals, or 20 seals for each daily endeavour.

I'm hoping these (excellent) endeavour drops is a sign of ZOS perhaps being a bit more sensible about endeavours.

When it started and they had drops of approx 20 seals per day and 250 per week, I loved it. It was a fun grind, an encouragement to do things I wouldn't normally do, and work towards getting a bonus after a couple of months. It was a seriously good new addition to the game.

Then they basically halved all the seal drops, blowing the grind out to months and months to get anything at all, which turned it into the bad/stupid kind of grind (much like companion rapport), and I stopped bothering. At 20 or 25 seals, I'll change my plans and go focus on killing world bosses; at days and days of 10 or 15 seals, I can't be bothered doing anything more out of my usual gameplay than applying poison on a trash mob I was already going to fight, and I tend to get actively annoyed at the grind demands.

I also can't imagine the hugely increased grind did wonders for the strength of their arguments to avoid lootbox regulation.

It would be a real boost to the game if it went back to the original approach to seal drops.

It varies a bit week to week and day to day, but on average they're worth doing for the 5 minutes or so it takes.

Just make sure you do them on the NA and EU servers, so you get double the seals.
It's worth creating a character on the other server for...

Yeah it's great, isn't it... unless you live on Australia's east coast, in which case you're lucky, after this unscheduled maintenance, if you get an hour to play before bed

The world boss one will also gets you 1/5 of the weekly.

My biggest frustration with world boss endeavours is I keep thinking it could be a good opportunity to do some of the ones I cannot do solo, but when I head out to them I find maybe 2-3 low level characters (presumably with no CP) waiting and when someone gives up waiting and starts we can't kill it, then I go to the easiest starter-bosses (like the one just to the north of Daggerfall) and find a huge crowd of high CP characters waiting for it to respawn or just spamming AoE skills on the corpse so they won't have to go to the trouble of noticing the fight has started.

People go on and on and on about wanting harder content and how overworld maps are too easy and need to be made harder, especially for high CP players, then given the choice between easier or harder content they take the easiest one they can imagine - stuff originally made for brand new, low level characters.

Are the seals account-wide then? I assumed they were server-specific, like everything else obtained in the game.

If they're stuck on whichever server you're playing when you get them it's not worth completing endeavours on both servers unless you normally play on both anyway, because you won't be able to use them to buy things for your regular characters, only for the new ones you created on the server you don't normally use.

Can you explain what you mean I don't understand how obtaining seals on both servers will make difference for people who only play on one server. Whatever you buy with seals on one server won't be available to you on the other server. Will it?
And the seals don't add up across servers as I understand.

Yes they're server specific: if you acquire them in one server you can't spend them on the other server.

The only thing really server wide are the crowns in the account and everything acquired by the account outside the game, eg: game packs. Everything acquired in-game, via crown store or by other means eg achievements, is server specific.

An even quicker way to get the 400 seals: go to Cyrodiil and fix any keep walls 15 times.

I have a happy elf today. She got 15/20 of her week's WBs yesterday and she'll get to 19/20 doing the daily 'kill 4 WB' one today. The other two dailies, she'll get doing her daily one round of writs this morning.

Quicker yes, but not more convenient for me. I avoid Cyrodiil and do an average of 4-5 WB quests a day. The endeavor gets done with no deviation from my normal gameplay.

… More likely it means that next week we will only get 50 deals for the weekly and 5 max for the dailies.

Yeah I did that and it was super easy. Got my weekly done in like 5 minutes.

TheImperfect

Like the fact today daily and weekly overlapped if you are doing world bosses and your 4 daily world bosses count towards the 20 weekly ones. Love collecting seals.

20 more per day today
