These took all of 5 minutes to complete today. You can get a master writ for like 2-5k gold if you don't already have one. Plenty of dwarven locations. You can get 4 quick drinks down by crafting 1 extra for the daily writs.

With respect to the 4 drinks endeavor, don't forget that endeavors are for your whole account, not just a specific character, so you can drink 1 drink on 4 different characters, which might seem more sensible to you than drinking 4 drinks on 1 character. That's assuming you have 4 or more characters, and that part of your regular playing routine includes cycling through all of your characters, such as to do daily crafting writs, or collect mail from crafting hirelings.

But what I usually do is wait for my food timer to elapse on my main character, then loot and consume 4 of those white drinks (or meals, if the endeavor is for meals) that you see on tables all around Tamriel, then eat my usual food after I've earned the endeavor. And if looting drinks or meals off of tables isn't your thing, you can usually get some white food and drink in your rewards for doing Bolgrul's Undaunted daily or the Mages Guild daily. Either way, you get free food or drink that you can use to earn the endeavor, and it's of low enough quality that it shouldn't seem wasteful to consume 4 of them in a row.

Sammy chugged down four drinks, fell asleep flat drunk and forgot to do the rest

Drinking 4 drinks is pretty quick and simple, even if it does feel a bit forced. I'm skipping the master writ requirement as I don't have one that I can do right now and I don't generally go too much out of my way to do the endeavors. There are days I just do 2 endeavors and I guess I'm ok with it. (Though I might regret that if a radiant apex I like gets offered at the wrong time).

I find most endeavors I'd have to go out of my way to complete, even if they're straightforward. Killing public dungeon bosses in some specific region? Afflicting enemies with poison? Placing 7 furnishings? Fence x items? etc.

You have to have good crafting skills for the master writ one, and often good research. Provisioning and Alchemy do not qualify in my experience. I can hit these just fine, but many people do not get into crafting as much.

The Cyrodiil one is only good if your color is in control there, otherwise running a quest can be quite dangerous. This should be changed to "run any questing area daily" instead, at least opening up the options.

Trials are never going to happen for me. I did look at the PvP map (though I can't figure out how/when I got in the locked zone with a non-AD character, since that is what I try to only run there. No chance to reach there on either NA or EU when I tried.

These could really use a couple more options. I also wish it did track the counts even after you got the 3, noting that the max number of endeavor credits was limited. It would be nice at times to see how many you could hit.

My go-to consume buffs are:
Bewitched Sugar Skull (tanks, food)
Lava Foot Soup and Saltrice (stamina dd, food)
Ghastly Eye Bowl (magicka and healer, drink)

So with 8 chars doing randoms for transmute crystals the 4 drinks isn't quite so natural when only 3 of my 8 drink (4 usually tank, 1 stam dd, 1 mag dd and 2 healers).

Dwarven Automata depend on the randoms - Volenfell or Frostvault being a good source.

Then doing a trial, since I need Fire staff for Whorl of the depths still.

If I cared about endeavours I would do a Durables Master Writ, but I don't.

So out of a normal day I agree, it's not super easy but, it's possible.

The Cyrodiil town dailies can be fun. Sometimes, even if your faction has the lowest population and doesn't have a keep near the town that you can port to, you can still ride across a goodly chunk of the map to the city and do the quests alongside one or more enemy players without attacking or being attacked. But other times you might be doing a quest and pointedly leaving everyone else alone yet be attacked and killed anyway. It just goes with the territory when you're in a PvP zone.

Cheydinhal is one of the towns that doesn't have any flags to flip, so it's usually one of the safer ones to quest in. On the other hand, Bruma and Cropsford and Vlastarus are PvP objectives so they're usually dangerous to quest in, even if your faction is in control of them.

I feel pretty much the same way as you do about trials, although I'll never say never.

Curious to know how many people will have done 3 of these in the natural course of their day.

I'm pretty engaged in all aspects of the game, and understand the endeavours often require going out of your way slightly, but today's is a particularly rough spread.

I can't be the only one not interested in travelling to cheydinhaal in cyrodiil for 15 creds. I don't have a raid scheduled today, and I'm not going to chase down a pug group and all the nuisance that entails. I also wouldn't drink 4 drinks in a day, so I guess I'll just chug them down for no other reason than to get endeavour credits. Don't have any master crafting writs so do I roll the dice on a bunch of crafting dailies or buy a writ?

The dwarven automaton is about the only straightforward one.

I think you are mistaken about the date, those are yesterdays (Nov 5) endeavours.

Her are todays Nov 6 endeavours from BenevolentBowD https://benevolentbowd.ca/games/esotu/eso-endeavors/

Today’s Endeavors 10 Seals (3 Max)

• Kill 15 Foes with Weapon Abilities (tips)
• Kill 15 Humanoid Daedra (tips)
• Harvest 10 Resources from the World (tips)
• Deal 75000 Damage with Siege Weapons (tips)
• Complete 1 Survey Report (tips)

Most endeavours are trivial to complete IMHO.

They were yesterday's, it was the 6th of November elsewhere in the world.

Honestly, the "you'll complete them just while Doing Your Regular Stuff" is marketing speak. Not everyone does *every* semi-common activity, every day, in quantity. So, sure - I frequently have to "go out of my way" to do them. But that's also frequently not very far 'out of my way', for most tasks. So no big deal. /shrug

(like, I don't drink drinks. Ever. So I'd never drink 4 in a day, even if I spent the whole day doing hours of stuff on multiple characters. I don't fight every single type of mob, every day. Etc. But it's easy to look at the Endeavors when I log in, see "kill mob X" and "kill things with class abilities" and say "ok, today I'll take my Magplar to <appropriate delve>" Which gives me a reason to pick a particular task & character for the day's session. I don't have a standard "every day, I run 5 characters through <specific content>" routine.)

I just took 4 drinks from the party at the end of the Firesong DLC and drank them down one after the other. Done and Done.

I got the Dwarven Automata one done by going to the Reach and just getting all five in the first room of Deep Folk Crossing.
A little bit, "out of my way," but simple and easy, so not really a problem.

Those were the only two that I did though, because the rest weren't anything that I would or could do.

Sometimes that's just how it is unfortunately.

Do two for 15 seals, imagine that you did three for 10.

You either care about endeavors enough to specifically do what they ask for, or you don't, in that case don't complain that there's something you don't usually do.

I was doing 3/3 daily and 1/1 weekly endeavors religiously ever since they began.

Then one night last week, during the Witches Festival, I missed out on all 3/3 daily endeavors on one server. At first I was very upset, but then I shrugged it off. It was only 30 seals, and for a while I actually debated whether to deliberately miss out on 30 seals on the other server so they match up again. But I figure it doesn't really matter either way in the long run.

i often loot food/drink on the ground then immediately consume it, so drink one's easy. I specifically look at endeavor section for suggestions of things to do , so seeing dwarven automata i'd immediately head somewhere with that item type; of the remaining I likely wouldn't complete it in a regular day of play however getting a writ is cheap so I may do that.

Why would you do that? It replaces any better buff you have.

The point was they are not part of the daily routine, not that they were hard. I only use a drink when leveling a stamina character. Never otherwise.
