Recently Released Add-Ons That Are Amazing And Must-Haves

Kevinmon

Please note these are sorted in alphabetical order.

1. Advanced UI

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info919-AUI-AdvancedUIBeta.html

This add-on completely revamps the group/raid member boxes and makes them amazing. It shows level, health, class, percentage, and damage shields in real time. This has completely changed dungeons, trials, DSA, and PvP for me.



Another optional feature of this add-on is adding a hotbar for your quickslot items, so you never have to use the wheel again.



2. Crit Percent

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info951-CritPercent.html

This add-on restores the Crit Percents on item tooltips that ZOS removed from the game.



3. Fence Info

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info956-FenceInfo.html

Tells you how many remaining fence and launder actions you have for the day, and has a timer until the fence resets.

4. Master Merchant

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info928-MasterMerchant.html

Automatically tells you what an item is worth when you mouse over it.



However, the biggest feature of this add-on is that it adds a column in guild stores that says if an item is a good deal, great deal, or bad deal. It integrates with Awesome Guild Store to let you search for good deals. And if someone in chat asks for a price check, you just right click the item and hit Stats To Chat, and it tells them what it's worth!



5. No Thank You

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info865-Nothankyou.html

Blocks all things you don't want to see in the game. Blocks raid nofitications, enlightened alert, screenshot saved, item repaired, delete mail prompt, it makes it so the friends icon isn't always showing, and blocks guild message of the day alerts, to name a few.

6. PvP Ranks

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info932-PvPRanks.html

Displays PvP ranks in a list in the alliance war window, and says what each one unlocks and how much XP is required. If you ever PvP, this is an add-on that you will never know you wanted, but once you use it, you will love it.



7. SWAPS

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info947-SWAPS-SwapSkillsforUpdate6.html

This is what Wykkyd's Outfitter aspired to be but never was. This is a game-changer for hotbar skills. It lets you presets for your skills that change in one-click instantly without making six clicking sounds, and it lets you add icons next to each preset.



8. Votan's Fish Fillet

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info958-VotansFishFillet.html

Automatically fillets all your fish at a time instead of having to click each one, now that fish can be used in provisioning recipes. Huge time saver that will save you minutes or hours, depending on how often you fish.

9. Votan's Search Box

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info914-VotansSearchBox.html

Lets you use the native search box in the inventory that is in the code but ZOS disabled. It works with Advanced Filter too. Very unobtrusive, and works instantly.

Thanks for sharing this list!

I noticed Master Merchant requires installation of 16 additional secondary add-ons. Does this hurt performance?

I've been using it for a few days now & not noticed any dip in performance at all..... its a very very good addon.

Ourorboros

As if I didn't have enough add-ons already xD. Great list, thanks very much. Definitely some I will be adding.

Regarding Master Merchant, it is basically ShopKeeper on steroids. There have been a few bugs with 1.6, but author fixes them asap. Note that the first time you log in, it does a /reloadui x 16. Not sure if this happens if you add it now vs. having it installed pre-patch. I love that it recommends a good selling price, but also remembers and autofills the last price you listed an item.

Soon as I started to run Master Merchant my performance in game tanked, game kept freezing, memory usage went through the roof and constantly getting lua memory almost reaching it's limit errors.

Haven't had the memory issues.
Lua memory can be increased in your Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/Live User Settings file in Live.
Think it's only like 64 by default, change it to this

SET LuaMemoryLimitMB "256"

I did this awhile ago for different reasons.

All these addons work great for me and I am realllly enjoying them!!

Any recommendations for a mail addon?

AshySamurai

I though you post only new addons. Well, SWAPS was created 05/27/14, not so new. No, thank you was created 12/11/14. This is nice addons, but you need to delete it from your list OR edit your title.
Also, where are MUST HAVE addons in your list? I see a few nice addons, but I don't see must have addons.

AUI - nice, but nothing new. Just a compilation of current addons.
Crit percent - well, yeah, may be useful.
Fense info - useless for me. Ok if you use it.
Master Merchant is a Shopkeeper port. it's pretty nice addon, but you bold the only one feature. Really? This is the only one reason why you use it? Akatosh save us all.
No, thank you - yeah, very nice addon.
PvP Ranks - why it must have if I not PvP?
Swaps - useful if you need to swap all bar quickly. But not must have. I prefer to switch manualy because most time I need to change one or two skills.
Votan's Fish Fillet - who even fishing now exept for achievment?
Votan's Search Box - you have only ~250 slots with different tabs. You can't hold in your mind what in your inventory?

It depends on what do you need. Try to use search with keyword "mail".

Knootewoot

I am not a fan of many addons, and only use FTC. But the first 2 on this list i must have. I also don't want to use the wheel anymore but press F-buttons and i want the crit % instead of some numbers that say nothing to me.

Robotmafia

nice list bro.. def gonna try some of these thanks

Grapdjan

But yes, enjoying MM very much. One quick question about it though, do you need to scan all items in the guild store with it daily, like with guild store advanced, or will it automatically give up to date data?

Thanks.

Grundiin

Nice list, thx

SantieClaws

I am so going to get the fishy one! This one has been waiting for something like that

I had these issues with DataDaedra, never with Master Merchant.

MM is a must if you do any sort of trading, IMO.

zicran

List sounds good, I'm going to try some.

By the way, am I the only one having some trouble with Srendarr (buff addon) ?
It's not working anymore since 1.6. I know some guys of my guild have the same problem.
Anyone has resolved it ?

Srendarr works fine for me. Are you sure you run the latest Version? There are two different in Minion
This is the right one:
Srendarr Aura Buff Debuff Tracker for Update 6

Nope, it automatically gets all the data, you don't have to click any buttons.

Natjur

There are so many add-ons and I would love to see some of them merged into the standard UI.

I use
Wykkyd's Gaming Suite (since its a large group of Add-ons)
Advanced UI (since its again, another large group of add-ons including a mini map)

I just wish some would merge
Destinations with SkyShards & LoreBooks & Lost Treasure and just make is one big add-on.

So I only have to have three 'groups' of add-ons.

Another optional feature of this add-on is adding a hotbar for your quickslot items, so you never have to use the wheel again.

To anyone who uses this, does the hotbar allow you to use a potion by just hitting F2 or whatever, or do you have to hold down Q and then hit F2, like you had to hold down Q and then use the wheel?

timidobserver

Number 5 really isn't a must have. But everything else is. Good job on the list

Hit F2 and it changes what is in the Q slot

So if you have setup F1 = Mana potion, F2 = Health
And Q = Health at the moment
You can click F1 and Q (almost at the same time) and you will drink a mana potion as the Q slot is now a mana potion.

You NEVER have to see that Q wheel again.

if you JUST want that bar, Greymind add-on is just the quick bar

Ah, OK cool. Thanks, I think I'll start using that!

the swaps has been a lifesaver for me. love that thing

I tried all of the Addons mentioned in the OP . . . they really do make the gaming experience much better!!!

The look and feel of the addons are non-intrusive and they have many options to customize and disable and they have great utility and functionality. Minion makes it really easy to keep them updated and working. Here is what I am using in the addons departments:

1) AUI
2) Crit Percent
3) Fence Info
4) Loot Drop (All in One)
5) LoreBooks
6) Master Merchant
7) No, thank you!
8) PvP Ranks
9) Research Assistant
10) Skyshards
11) SWAPS
12) UnifiedChatTabs
13) Binder

*UnifedChatTabs and Binder are super useful for ensuring all your chat text colors and keybindings are the same across all your characters if that's something you prefer.
*AUI is gorgeous and has so many options for making the UI look great

Good work goes to the add on authors for these great addons!!

Thanks Xendyn

The game had a popup window that asked me if I wanted to change the LUA memory limit, as it was beginning to exceed 64mb, so I just clicked ok, and I think it raised it to 128.
