The Most Recommended ESO Addons
Addons enrich and make some in-game aspects more convenient. ESO, in particular, has a sparse and minimal UI to keep screen clutter down. In turn, that lets players appreciate the environments and graphics more. While that’s all well and good, it led to some inevitable inconveniences. Good thing some kind players have taken up their keyboards to remedy the situation. Thus, hundreds of ESO addons were created!
Here, we’ll list the most recommended ones as well as a tool to manage all of them.

What are the most recommended map and location ESO addons?
- QuestMap: QuestMap reveals the locations of every quest in the game. It also makes managing quests easier than when using the game’s native resources.
