Quests and Exploration ESO Addons
Destinations
This addon will show additional points on your map and radar for specific achievements such as "Wrothgar Cliff Jumper" or items for "Wrothgar Master Relic Hunter". It can also reveal unknown points of interest on the map for you to discover as well as wayshrines, skyshards and Mundas stones.
QuestMap
Adds pins for completed and uncompleted quests to the map, including not yet started quests!. You can hide completed quests or specific quests. This add-on helps identify where particular quests start or quests that you have yet to complete.
VotansMiniMap
This addon reactivates the mini map from ZOS. Thus the mini map does not do less, but also not more than the built-in world map, because it is the built-in world map.
Combat Enhancement ESO Addons
ActionDurationReminder
This addon tracks your slotted actions that have duration attributes or over time effects, reminds you to re-invoke your actions, and makes you good at performing rotations.
CombatMetrics
Combat Metrics is an addon to track your fights. You can use it to measure your DPS, you can analyse which skills make your DPS or who caused your incoming damage. You can also analyse the heals you received or cast. You can check which buffs and debuffs were running, and how much magicka or stamina per second you used and regenerated. You can Analyse the Combat log, and filter it to analyse specific issues.
PVPMeter
PVP meter provides some stats in Battlegrounds and Cyrodiil about your kills, deaths, alliance points, team scores and more. When you kill an enemy, an animation and a notification sound is triggered. The colour of the animation is the colour of your team in Battlegrounds or Green in Cyrodiil.
Srendarr
Srendarr replaces the game's limited built-in buff and debuff tracking and gives you the ability to customize the display of these effects on yourself as well as others (even group members). It supports all the standard abilities that appear under the Character window or the built-in tracker, as well as many effects like enchants and gear procs, cooldowns and other things that normally only show via graphical effects on your character (or not at all).
Inventory and Trade ESO Addons
AlphaGear
AlphaGear 2 lets you create up to 20 profiles each with 16 builds that may be activated with a single button press. This allows you to switch between different roles (DPS/Tank/Healer) or switch between PvE gear and PvP gear.
Dustman
A powerful addon to deal with your unwanted items! The addon has options to mark specific or general items from different categories as junk and can automatically sell junk when you interact with a vendor.
Tamriel Trade Centre
The addon collects all the item listings that you see in the guild store and uploads them to the site. The site then uses all the data collected by all players to generate price info for everyone. You can also use the website to search for the location of an item using a way better filter than the default Guild store GUI.
LootLog
This addon simply shows a loot log and summarizes loot for all players in the group. Useful for farming gear and asking specific players if they are willing to trade.
Crafting Addons
HarvestMap
HarvestMap displays resource nodes, chests and fishing spots on the map, compass and the 3d world. Whenever you harvest crafting materials, lockpick a chest or fish at a fishing hole, this addon will save the location and place a pin on your map, compass and in the 3d world.
ESO Master Recipe List
Master Recipe List maintains a list of all the recipes known by your characters so you can easily find which character can make a particular item, or which characters need to learn a specific recipe. You can add inventory and guild store icons for tracked/known/unknown recipes and much more.
