Please help

Hi I’ve been playing eso for a few years now on PS4 and was just able to make the change to pc. So I’d like to know what add-ones are essential for making re-grinding from scratch easier. I’m starting with a magblade if that makes any difference. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Lorebooks
Skyshards
Lazy Writ Crafter for crafting daily writs
Tamriel Trade Center or Master Merchant for trading
Foundry Tactical Combat or Combat Metrics for dps counts

Lorebooks, Skyshards and Harvest Map will be hugely beneficial for playing catch-up. Maybe Destinations as well.

Advanced Filters and Awesome Guild Store are also no-brainers. They won't help you level, but are so essential that they really should be made into the native UI.

Also, what server are you on? Many people will be willing to help a console expat by hooking you up with training gear, research items, and truckloads of recipes and furniture plans.

In addition to the above I would recommend

Advanced Filters
Awesome Guild Store
ESO Master Recipe List
Potion Maker
and a Mini Map of course (I'm using Votan's)

With this you're ready to start the PC adventure

Pc Na from PS4 NA, I was thinking of making a separate post asking if anyone wanted to trade anything across formats. I’m 9 traits in everything and can make all exp drinks and have tons of mats and reagents to trade with. Also have Gold but not a ton. Thanks for all the help I appreciate it guys. A pve or pvp guild invite would also be amazing, I’ve done all vet trials except the newest 2 also have flawless on 6 or 7 out of 10 characters, pvp wise I’ve been emp on numerous toons and have crowned small and large groups for a while. Thanks again guys

Once you get past leveling and into end game, there's a whole separate list of add-ons you'll want to consider. For pvp, look at CyrHUD, Cyrodiil Alerts, and an AP or kill counter.

For pve you'll want Combat Metrics, and probably a suite of other ui enhancements. Most common choices are FTC, LUI Extended, Azurah, Srendarr and Combat Cloud. Most of these do variations of the same things and can conflict with one another, so pick the ones that you like the best. I recommend trying them on PTS first, one at a time, and deleting the ones that don't make the cut.

For mini maps, I think Votan's has the least performance impact.

They're out of date, but I still feel like Wykkyd's enhanced HUD and Toolbar are the best in that category.

And I can't believe we all forgot to mention No, Thank You. Check it out, you'll be thankful

After level 10 go to cyro and fetch the rapid manoeuver skill. Then install "Assist rapid riding" and enjoy leveling faster by just riding around (maybe speed your horse up by the stables first) and collection POIs and bosses.

Also upgrade your rig in case you havent done it yet in order to be able to run both the game and all the heavy addons listed above. About loading screens, lag and disconnects all we can do is welcome you to the club.

AGS and Advanced filters are honestly the 2 addons I CANNOT play without.

You might also like votans search box since advanced filters' search box seemed to stop working with clockwork city.
It also let's you search by set name for when you wanna find unique items.

Inventory insight is another great addon as it allows you to see all your characters' inventories, as well as your bank, guild banks and housing storage.

Perhaps an addon for saving gear and skill setups? I highly recommend either Dressing room or Alphagear. Both are amazing. (Avoid Wykkyd's Outfitter, don't punish yourself lel)

Also I feel like everyone forgot the most important thing lol, Minion! Definitely get minion for installing and automatically keeping your addons updated ^^

I'm gonna list some more in a spoiler, they aren't as essential as the ones mentioned above, more fun/useful stuff.

EasyTravel is nice for getting around, tho you need a couple large guilds if you want it to really work well. It lets you right click a zone from the list in your map, then scans your friend list and guild rosters for someone in that zone, then ports you to them for free. Can't really control where you end up, but hey, it'll get you to the zone.

Troublemaker is a favorite of mine, it let's you keybind the "Prevent attacking innocents" setting so you can easily toggle it on or off. It also has an option to automatically turn it on after paying your bounty/getting killed by a guard.

Itemization browser is a great addon that let's you view all the available sets in game, as well as see where they drop/can be crafted.

pChat is a chatbox addon with a ton of features like letting you copy text, click links, get a notification sound for PMs, it tells you when you've missed a PM, it can add timestamps to your chat, it has anti spam, I could go on and on about it.
