Kill 10 Humanoid Foes - Daily Endeavor

MJ202

Websters Dictionary – HUMANOID: a NONHUMAN creature or being with characteristics (such as the ability to walk upright) resembling those of a human.

I logged in this morning to quickly run the daily’s before having to proceed to work. For this one I looked for humanoid foes and was surprised to find no matter which ones I killed, none of them gave me credit. I switched to HUMAN foes and quickly hit the goal of 10.

Don’t waste your time going after humanoid foes, just go for the human ones.

In ESO humanoid effectively means playable races.

If it just said human you'd be unable to get credit from killing elves, orcs, khajiit or argonians, which would be annoying and confusing because they're often in mixed groups and (especially with humans and elves) it can be hard to tell them apart unless you can see their face clearly.

Technically in real life humans are a sub-set of humanoids, it's just that there's usually no reason for that to come up. It's like how all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

I accidentally did it in Cyrodiil lol

Two Dolmens. At the start, it always has 6 people standing in a line waiting to be killed, it's also a great way to get those pesky weapon/class ability ones out of the way too.

Elves will work just fine.

Valid point. I was in Clockwork City to work on the weekly as well. I brain locked on the humanoid constructs of Clockwork City.

I go kill the Covenant troops in Bal Foyen and steal a few nodes from Bots. Good times!

If you like cat splatting then Silent Mire is an excellent spot for humanoid farming (and also doing the 1-10 on werewolf)

More annoying was my realization today (as I charged through a Dwemer ruin) that the dwarven machines don't count as 'clockwork'.

I prefer doing the "class/weapon" endeavour on critters, much quicker and easier, as it removes both the chance the target dies from a dot or light attack and my companion getting the killing blow.

My wife thinks I'm evil, running around butchering all the cavys, rabbits, frogs et al, but meh!

Well that makes perfect sense Lorewise. Clockwork are specifically creations of Sotha Sil who was inspired by the Dwarven creations.

I’ll have to keep that in mind, I was spamming Daedric mines during dailies so I wouldn’t have to switch characters and the mobs kept standing still to pelt me at range.

Incidentally, the Berne vampires in Vvardenfell do NOT count as humanoids.

It is the way to do it. If I can further suggest a strategy, the northeast part of Western Skyrim, in the snow, is really good. The critters stand out against the white. It is important to keep the critter population low in Skyrim because they eat all the grain that could be used for Nord beer.

A lot of things don't, which makes it rather annoying.

I remembered from a previous time that Argonians counted, so I went to the Sul-Xan ritual site in Blackwood and killed the ones around there.

Easy one: Bandit delve in Glenumbra or inhuming 10 targets for Elam Drals if leveling Dark Brotherhood

Likely because they count as vampires.
It seems like nothing can fit in two categories. So reptiles aren't beasts, you can't kill zombies/vampires/etc as humanoids, insects & chitinous is a total mess... etc.


My usual humanoids is to teleport to the Exorcised Coven Cottage in Glenumbra, and wander a bit south for the cultists on the hill & in the swamp.

I just blade of woe npcs in vvardenfell. XD

Bal foyan is awesome, thx

Ermiq

So, they should have said "humans and anthropomorphic creatures"?

SammyKhajit

This one just goes to Auridon and kill off a bunch of Veiled Inheritance.

I happened to be doing mages guild dailies and got it killing worm cultists while I was looking for wabberjeky in Rulanyil's Fall. For what amounts to a pretty simple fetch quest, it was amusing. It was my first time doing that one.

The_Boggart

Goblins in Summerseat looked human but did not contribute

LalMirchi

Been there (Eastmarch) done that, easy

freespirit

Lion's Den public dungeon in The Rift, full to the brim of pesky humans! 😁

That got me the very first time it came up as a SoE task, as well.
But then I realized that the game does indeed make a clear distinction between 'Dwarven' and 'Clockwork.'

FlopsyPrince

Endeavor naming and instructions can be quite misleading.

Salamanders are amphibians, but count as reptiles for the endeavor, for example.

BTW, just kill human scum near Alinor / Summerset. Quite easy to do there.

shadyjane62

Pirates in Khenarthi's Roost are good too. A lot of endeavors can be done in KR I usually get two there.

I went to the villa just outside of Kavatch in Gold Coast. Got the 10 easily with all of the enemies patrolling around outside.

lordvieckys

You can find Humanoid folks in Malabar Tor near Ouze.

We have gone ahead and closed this thread down since it is rather old. Please keep in mind that sometimes it is better to create a new topic, instead of replying in one that was posted a while ago.

Thanks for your understanding.
