Add-On must have list?

MAEK

I have played this game since console release, but with the current steam sale I decided to buy it for PC, mainly to have access to the PTS (although I'll play a bit on the live servers too). One bonus that comes with playing on PC is add-ons, but where to start? I would greatly appriciate a list of helpful add-ons that can enhance my experience, links to where I can download them would be nice too!

WrathOfInnos

Combat Metrics and Action Duration Reminder are the two most important IMO.

Raid Notifier can be nice in trials, as well as some other utilities like Asylum Status Panel, Group Damage Share, Group Loot, various ultimate trackers.

Skyshards and Lorebooks are great for finding skill points and leveling Mage's Guild.

Master Merchant is good for pricing and trading. Improved Guild Store and Tamriel Trade Center also help here.

For downloading and updating, just get Minion. It makes the process very quick and easy.

Some that I've used and recommend.

Trading:
Tamriel Trade Center (shows averages based on global listings, global search function) or Master Merchant (shows averages based on sales in your guilds)

Farming:
HarvestMap (lets you save locations of crafting nodes you've harvested, including chests)

Dungeons:
Untaunted (shows a timer for your taunts)
Votan's Mini-Map (shows a mini-map, super helpful for tracking group members) or use a different minimap
Combat Metrics or Foundry Tactical Combat (I use FTC for its DPS tracker, Combat Metrics gives a more detailed breakdown of buff uptime and damage recount)

PVP:
CyroHUD (shows how many siege are active on keeps)
KillCounter (keeps track of kills and lets you accept the queue automatically)

Get Minion add on manager to start with.

Must have add ons for starting out would include Lorebooks, Skyshards, Destinations and AUI (it comes with a minimap and has other features that I rather like). I also like some of the Wykkyd addons, so check those out to see if any would work for you (toolbar, acheivement tracker, couple other ones)

From there, if you are a crafter, get craft store. Want to sell things in Guild stores? Get Master Merchant.

PvP, I use Action Duration reminder, KillCounter, and FTC. And I probably have CyroHUD or something like it.

I have other addons as well, but these would be included in my bare minimum list.

Lets see, try to remember my list, but these are must haves:

Master Merchant
Awesome Guild Store
No, Thank You
Lore Books
Skyshards
Destinations
Dolgbuns (sp?) Lazy Writ Crafter
Craft Store
Junk It
Assist Rapid Riding
Alpha Gear (gear and skill switcher)
Advanced UI (use parts of it)
Slightly Improved Experience Bar
Frykins Mini Map

Others, as I have about 10 more, just can't remember the complete list I installed them so long ago

All Public Bosses (although Destinations may cover this)
AutoInvite
Lost Treasure
Potion Maker
Advanced Filters
LibAddon
LibStub
Summon Assistant
Votan's Keybinder (makes keybinds the same across characters
Wykkyd Mailbox (allows for replies to emails)

EDIT Updated List

i came from console also but im on PC now and i have..

MUST HAVE:

lazy writ crafter-- *** AMAZING!!! epecially after coming from console!
Azurah - for moving everything from standard UI where you want it
Skyshards-
Lorebooks-
Master Merchant- i actually sell *** on PC without just saying oh this is 20k this is 100 i use actually good pricing
Combat Metrics-
Action duration reminder- i like it more that the other buff tracking it less intrusive, more like base ui and also tell you with a pop up when skills fade
Awesome guild store- to search guild stores easily


ALMOST MUST HAVES-

Dark UI- makes base UI look way better
Iakoni gear and skill changer(2 addons)- the newest one, save builds save a TON of time
lovely emotes- give you 5 quick slots for preset emotes, i wouldnt use them without this!
AP meter- tracks the AP of each session with a nice screen to break down how you got it


i know there is more but im at work and its time to go home!

hmm, is there an alternative to Awesome Guild Store? it works fine, technically, but if i wanna use any consumables, i have to turn it off. it gives me some LUI error saying it can't use consumables from my inventory or some bs. i could enable it when i shop and then disable it, but... that's a little annoying.

I thought AwesomeGuildStore was giving me a UI error when Dragon Bones launched, but after some fiddling I found the real culprit was an addon called ESO Master Recipe List. Dunno if you have it, but it might be worth checking your other addons to see if they're the real cause

hmm, i'll try doing that, but, looking at my mods, i'm not sure which would give me that error. i don't have ESO Master Recipe List installed.
