- (if you have with the Brotherhood): Call a Vertibird with the Grante (gives you a Misc Objec.), get in and fast travel. Let im leave and repeat
The way I did this one was a pretty simple one, and I'm surprised I haven't seen it posted here:
If you build the Eyebot Pod, you can send it to search for materials/ammo/explosives for you. To build the Eyebot Pod you'll need:
Copper - 2
Circuitry - 4
Aluminum - 6
Fiber Optics - 2
Nuclear Material - 2
You'll also need to power it. It consumes 6 power.
When you send the Eyebot out to search for materials, you'll get a miscellaneous objective, telling you to "Wait for Eyebot to Locate [Insert Selected Material]," as well as a second one after that material has been found.
Doing it this way will not only net you this achievement, but also help you find the more elusive materials you're lacking for your settlements.
Misc objectives are little quests from NPC, you can find them at the bottom of your Quests tab under miscellaneous.
In one hand, easy ones are the protect mission of one settlement, they appear at random intervals. Think to check you quest tab because they are not always notify to you... A third of mine were done this way.
In other hand, in general, try looking for in every small city/camp and ask the vendors or bartender for jobs.
ex: diamond city,goodneibhor, bunker hill, vault 81, atomic cats ...
Finally in all faction HQ they are a few easy ones like open your chest or talk to x.
you can check your progress in the stat tab: quest/misc and they are not stackable over multiple playthrough.
Thanks to SwiftlyLosing for that:
"if you call in a Vertibird using the signal grenade then it gives you a misc objective to get inside the Vertibird which counts towards it."

Hope this helped.
Quickest way I've found is to summon a Vertibird in a settlement.
Build a chair for you to sit on to wait.
After summoning a Vertibird and boring, jump off and wait in the seat you built for one hour. After that hour the Vertibird will fly off and you can rinse and repeat.
Saves having to save and quit or riding the vertibird around the area. If you board and jump straight off it will continue to sit there. So waiting an hour will make it fly off.
Apologies if this has already been covered by someone else. Just wanted to try and make this one a little less tedious.
Go to a settlement, place a chair and throw the signal next to it. After a short time a Vertibird will land nearby and you'll get the Misc. objective to board it. It counts as complete once you've done that. When inside, just leave it again. DON'T FLY AWAY! Get on the chair, wait for an hour and the Vertibird will launch off again. Just throw another signal grenade and wait for the next Vertibird. Repeat that until you got your 50 Misc. Objectives.
You can also check your progress on your Pip-Boy: Data -> Stats -> Quests
Once you have 50, choose 2 locations, they must be quite a bit of ways apart (for me I chose sanctuary and Abernathy farm). Now go to one of these locations, throw down a grenade, then wait. The vertibird should make their way to you. Once they land, board the vertibird, then unboard it. Teleport to the 2nd location and repeat! The achievement should pop at 50
Misc objectives can be found in the "Miscellaneous" part of the "Data" => "Quests" area in the Pip-boy. This trophy you will actively have to work towards, as miscellaneous quests are few and far between. However, there are a few ways you can easily farm it. The best way is to use the "Vertibird Signal Grenades". Do note, you have to not be hostile with the Brotherhood of Steel or the Railroad for this and have advanced far enough into their questlines that you have these grenades. You can buy them from Teagan on the Prydwen or from Tinker Tom in the Railroad HQ. Vendors sell between 5-10 each time you visit him. To refresh their stock, simply wait 48hrs (sit in a chair or sleep in a bed for two intervals of 24hr wait times).
Now just find an open place on the map near a marked location, and throw one of the signals. The Vertibird will fly in and land and it'll come up saying "Board the Vertibird". This counts as a misc objective. Now just throw get in it, and get out of it right away. Fast travel to another marked location and repeat. The reason you have to move away is the Vertibird stays on the floor and sometimes throwing a second one at the same location will not spawn a second Vertibird. Repeat until you have the trophy:
For a list of additional misc objectives, you can visit the following site: LINK
1) As soon as you enter Diamond City, make your way to the Mayors office and talk his secretary about work.
Now there's a glitch linked to this system, you can not clear random locations while exploring as it'll mean leas bounties spawning. Another reason for this glitch seems to be taking too many misc objectives at once.
Heading to the board the first time nets you one, and as many missions as the game is willing to give you.
2) Atom Cats: Once you discover the Atom Cats garage, do all of their missions, every single one is a misc objective (you also get a Bobblehead from this location)
3) Talk to every vendor in Diamond City, Goodneighbour and Bunker Hill. Bunker Hill is glitchy and seem to only talk to you after level 40 for some reason. These rack up a few.
4) There's a few in the random townships, e.g. Jamacia Plains, that have misc objectives turn in to quests.
5) Vault 81 and Bunker Hill tours count towards this trophy, so take both. Do NOT dismiss Meg at Bunker Hill as she takes your money and then gets angsty about it.
6) As in the other solution you can boost this at any time by getting new vertibird grenades from Prydwen and using those, everytime you board it, it counts.
7) As much as we hate him, Preston Garvey will sometimes give you misc objectives for settlements instead of quests.
8) Keep an eye on your pipboy, it sometimes puts a random defensive misc ovjective on there. *unconfimed glitch*
As a side note, the Brotherhood will reward you with caps for returning Technical documents, this only counts once towards this trophy, every other time you return them after that, the game stops counting it.
Miscellaneous objectives are small favors/quests that aren't necessarily significant enough to be classified as a side quest. One such objective entails bringing some Jet to Mama Murphy once you reach Sanctuary. Various other objectives such as small fetch-like favors can be triggered frequently so long as you speak to everyone you come across in the Commonwealth.
To track these objectives, bring up the Pip-Boy. Under DATA, then QUESTS, you should see a tab labeled "Miscellaneous." Any and all objectives listed here can be marked as your active quest for the time being. Completing 50 of these small objectives will come naturally over the course of your playthrough. Just remember to talk to everyone in order to pick up leads, favors, and tasks.
One good area to farm misc. objectives would be the Diamond City wanted board. You can continuously return to the board to get new wanted tasks. If you look to the left of Moe's Swatter Shop you will see the Wanted board.
A second excellent strategy is to call in the vertibird using the Brotherhood smoke grenades. You get a miscellaneous objective for entering the vertibird allowing you to then exit. Fast travel to a new area and throw another grenade rinsing and repeating. For additional smoke grenades see Proctor Teagan on The Prydwen.
You do not have to fly to another location, as soon as you have chosen your destination and the helicopter has taken off (you can select the same location where you are now), immediately click , when the “land” message appears, this speeds up the process significantly. Just as you land and the rotorcraft begins to take off, you can immediately throw a grenade to call another, proven! (No need to throw two, only one flies)
The statistics will be displayed as the second line in the “tasks” tab.
Here are a few locations where there are definitely characters who give out these quests that we most need:
1. Diamond City
2. Good neighborliness
3. Atomic Cats Garage
4. Sanctuary (you can give Mother Murphy various drugs until she dies and each drug will be counted as an additional quest)
5. Prydwen (if you chose and supported the Brotherhood of Steel)
I found a convenient interactive map where you can see all the locations where these quests are located (they are marked there as misc objectives)
https://fallout4map.de/w/index.html#...0.261, -67.456
If you play for the Brotherhood of Steel, there is another easiest way to get this achievement - call their helicopter using a signal bomb, sit in it and each such call will be counted as an additional quest.
