For me, any TFO,
heal shield / health ground
and not an auto ignore, but gorn and scorpions on Nimbus. I'll go there and see if I can get a 1-2 population instance. if not, not wasting my time on it.

And those are pretty much it for me I guess. just depends on my mood
Lukari and Iconian TFO's I'll ignore (if it's a green endeavour) or re-roll (if blue or purple). Not because they're difficult, but because you can wait all day without them populating.
I will do the ground or space collecting, Win GPL.
But yeah, the only really hard passes are TFOs. Ground shields are easy on Nukara with an engineer and go to the red zone on the transporter. No enemies and just walk into the acid pool and pop shield/health generators. Replace when needed.
Space shields I just pop the green shield bubble when fighting starts. For hull healing, I go into Khonshu Khaibit with a repair platform. The little guys go to work on the Khonshu while I leisurely go through the Patrol.

An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

I always have different Captains for different endeavors. I use an engineer with health/shield generators on Nukara for the ground health/shield ones. Just go to the red zone on the transporter and stand in the acid pool. Your health/shields will drop pretty quickly and the generators do keep up with it. Just replace them when their timer runs out if you're not done yet.

The only other one I skip is kill Tzenkethi on the ground as that requires running at least 2 full and very long missions to complete, far too much time.
I sometime also skip killing Vaadwar unless the character I'm on has actually been to Kobali prime and done the missions there. Gravity Kills is a maybe, depends on how I feel, and I always skip PvP
Or standing in/nearing a plasma pool in Home (aboard the Hur'q ship). Spawn a shield and/or medical generator, and you're good to go.
There's really only 1 type of Endeavor I avoid at all cost:
1) Anything with killing ground Vaadwaur. Still a remnant trauma from Dilithium Rising.
If you do Of Signs & Portents as far as beaming down to the planet, you can then beam out and leave the mission incomplete.
Then you can do that mission whenever you need to do the endeavour.
If you're bothered about the mission hanging around on screen, you can hide it.
Complete 3 Lukari TFO's.
I don't like most Iconian TFO's as they're the worst examples of time gated content, dragging on forever and nothing you do actually matters or makes a noticable difference between failing the mission and succeeding.
Tzenkethi front and Gravity Kills on the other hand are well designed missions where actions matter and can speed up completion - but three missions for a single endeavour is just too much.
Another one that I find boring is earning Dabo (especially if you HAVE to go to Quark's). Just don't see the point of it or why Starfleet would give my captains these assignments.
I do complete them however, as they can be done relatively quickly.
The shield ones at least seem to have been fixed now. I had to do it yesterday and putting Seven in a fire in the event ground patrol made it easy.
Every shield heal was counted and automatically applied around 500 healing (the strength of my kit module), even when fewer shield points were missing on her. It even worked despite me having a source of temporary hit points I believe, which caused it to bug out before.
I ended up in one yesterday and wanted to quit - but it actually went very well. At least four players were collecting particles and none were camping near the Jupiter - which nevertheless didn't get below 90% because we just used heals when passing by.
It had to be one of the smoothest runs I've been in. Very refreshing.
Yes, that's what I meant, but you put it better than I did! 🙂
Once you've unlocked Kobali Prime the Vaadwaur ground endeavour is a breeze.
> Defeat Herald ships
Just do the first part of Midnight until you get the endeavour done.
During weekdays i skip them due to their length.
I do blood of the ancients. I also try to bring a gravity well ship
I don't really like launching an episode and then not finish it.
Episodes are the most enjoyable type of content to me. But I'm also very picky, I only play them if and when I really want one of my characters to be part of their story at that moment.
I don't want to ruin the experience by using them just to get a certain kill count and thereby associate them with the mindless grind for resources that the endeavours are in my mind.
That's why I also skip the Tzenkethi ground endeavour, which I forgot to mention.
For me it's not necessarily the mission length itself that's the problem. I would be willing to play Tzenkethi Front, then Drannuur, do some other stuff in-between and finish with another TF.
That would be perfectly doable in my case, if I didn't already have to wait like 15 to 20 minutes before that first TF mission has even launched.
I do Vaadwuar, and use that to do Ground Damage types as well.
I've been 750 for over a month now so if I do Endeavors it has to be quick and generally am doing them to build up Reroll Tokens for the next inevitable increase.

For Herald ships I'll just do Gateway to Grethor.. I had that this morning on the purple endeavor and got it just fine.
Gateway to Grethor (on Advanced) is super-easy. Only the first 30 seconds can be a bit daunting; the rest is just smooth sailing.
