    The worst one for me is "Kill X amount of enemies with a WEAPON ability". I rarely use any abilities from weapons. This one is always painful to do.

    Yeah I don't get the class abilities one at all. I switched my skills around so that I had class skills on the bars and tried to use them as much as possible, and they never counted.

    I also won't do anything that involves murdering citizens.

    Just use whatever your class has as a spammable and an aoe. It should register pretty quickly if you're letting the class abilities get the final blows.

    The class/weapon ability endeavors seem easy enough to me. I visit public or group dungeons and use Puncturing Sweeps or a combination of Noxious Breath and Venomous Claws as class abilities or spam Unstable Wall of Elements or Whirling Blades as weapon abilities. This week, it looks like I'll need three dungeons.

    I've never entered a battleground or participated in a trial. I don't even like solo arenas much.

    Battlegrounds.
    Stop trying to coerce us into doing BGs while they are still broken and 99.9% of the time give you Death Match on a "random" BG. I refuse to do any BGs until randoms give an even chance of every type like they did before the DM only "trial".

    I've found this to be the second easiest one, right behind "run X number of dungeons." Especially if you have a templar. The kill foes with a weapon ability is a much bigger pain

    I thought that at first, but then I rediscovered Shock Clench because of this endeavor, and now it's one of my favourite skills.

    Back to topic heading, for me it's anything PVP or trials.

    For me, it's got to be "Kill 180 Foes with Class Abilities." It's hard for me to find a good location with lots of foes to farm without other players coming by every so often and "helping" me by killing all of the foes I've gathered around me before I can kill them. :(

    Fortunately, goats and other innocent critters count as foes. So find a place with lots of little critters, and use class abilities against them. The goats in Alik'r are a quick way to get this.

    I refuse to say, but this is very easy if you know where. Takes maybe 10 mins on a Healer.

    Some other not so secret locations are any farming spot. Zombies respawn fast, skyreach too. Just spam plusar.

    I don't have a tank and I don't queue, so I run it solo or with a friend. I'm just really sick of that place.

    Same here. The "kills" are easy.

    I actually enjoy both PvP and trials. I just find they can be more time consuming and I don't always do these activities every week. Plus the queues and less convenient travel to the PvP locations can be irritating for an endeavor, which I don't mind as much when I am going there because I want to PvP for a while.

    The stealing and killing (TG and DB stuff) is next, because I am not good at stealth so I have to plan around getting a bounty, I often forget to dismiss my companion and then they get angry with me, stuff like that.

    Thank you both! I'll keep those in mind for next time. :) I can't try it now because I've already completed it on both servers.

    And to clarify (again) just a bit, it isn't that I find the endeavor particularly difficult to complete, but more that I inevitably find myself having to compete against other players for kill credit-- which makes me stress out about having other players playing alongside of me through the same content as me, which doesn't bother me at other times. I end up feeling like a crabby and antisocial misanthrope, which I don't enjoy, and that's why it's my least favorite endeavor.

    Any PvP, arena's, and trials endeavours. I absolutely hate PvP, arena's take too long, and I never run trials.

    I love the dungeon, excavation, and kill with class/weapon ability ones.

    ya, if there is PVP in it, I completely skip that one. Thankfully they don't force PVP on players in this case due to the 5 ways of getting the three dailies done.

    I like looking for mudcrabs, you often get several of them in the same place and I always seem to be short of mudcrab chitin for alchemy so it's an opportunity to farm some at the same time.

    I like either the weapon or class skill kills. Can be done naturally just playing. But if you're in a hurry, as said above, Skyreach Catacombs. Should get you to ~150 on just the top level in 20 minutes or so. And you don't have to worry about anyone else since it's instanced.

    Least favorite would have to go to Trials.

    Complete [x] Dungeons, Trials, Arenas, or Battlegrounds, as I don't normally do any of those on a regular enough basis to acquire them naturally.

    My favorites are the Cyrodiil-related weeklies (kill 50 players, fix walls) as I won't even have to think about those.

    The weapon/class ones are not bad at all. As others have pointed out, you can do this one easily in Skyreach. The best location is that 'cursed' chest that just spawns waves of skeletons. When it's a class ability you need to use, I usually find Templar Jabs or Nightblade Sap Essence to be the easiest. If it's a weapon skill, just drop some Destro staff ultis on there and you're golden.

    Yeah, I had considered soloing normal Fungal Grotto I for the swarms of mudcrabs, but I figured I'd need to do too many runs to get 180 mudcrabs. But then I thought that maybe letting the mudcrab boss keep spawning adds might do the trick. I'll have to try that sometime.

    That is like the easiest one to do. LOL. Nightblade or Templar, one or two laps of skyreach with Sap or Jabs.

    Second easiest one to do. One two laps of sky reach with Steel Tornado, Brawler, Impulse, Acid Spray, etc.

    I only say second, because these ones don't auto self heal, so you need to equip ROTPO or do a bit of healing. They are arguably more accessible though because any class can use Impulse or Steel tornado, whether you are magic or stam.

    The trick for any of these "Kill X enemies" is to find a good AOE Spammable that meets the criteria. It doesnt need to be skyreach. Any public dungeon or grind spot works just fine.

    My biggest issue with the kill with class or weapon ability type of endeavors is that my companions kill-steal, which means I can't use them while doing the endeavor.

    Thing is, I don't "farm" for the Kill With X Abilities ones. I just do a daily delve or two, daily. It gets done long before the week is out. This tends to avoid those busy farming areas.
