Enhancing Your Adventure:

A Guide to ESO Addons

​

What are Addons?

​

Addons are community-created "plug-ins" that modify or
add new features to the Elder Scrolls Online user interface.
Think of them as custom tools built by players, for players,
to help manage everything from combat data to guild
events. Because ZOS allows these modifications, you can
tailor your game to look and function exactly how you want.

​

What Can They Do?

​

The possibilities are nearly endless, but most addons fall

into a few key categories:

​

  • Quality of Life: Automating tedious tasks like repairing gear or selling "trash" items to vendors.

  • Information & Maps: Adding icons to your map for Skyshards, Lorebooks, or resource nodes.

  • Combat Assistance: Tracking your ability timers, buff durations, and damage output to help you perform better in Veteran Trials.

  • Guild Tools: Specialized trackers, like our own SRS Event Tracker, which keeps you updated on our 9 PM UK schedule and rotating events.

  • ​

How to Install Addons Manually

​

If you prefer to handle things yourself, you can install addons by following these steps:

​

  1. Download the addon files (usually a .zip folder).

  2. Extract the folder.

  3. Move the folder into your ESO AddOn directory, typically found at:
    Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns\

  4. Restart or Reload UI in-game to see the changes.

​

The Easy Way: Using Minion

​

For most players, we highly recommend using Minion. It is a free, third-party "AddOn Manager" that handles the heavy lifting for you.

​

  • Automatic Updates: Minion detects when an addon has a new version and lets you update it with a single click.

  • Easy Discovery: You can search for and install thousands of addons directly through the app without ever touching your file folders.

  • Backup & Sync: It helps keep your settings safe if you ever need to move to a new computer.

​

Pro Tip: When using Minion for the first time, make sure it is pointing to your Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\ folder so it knows where to put your new tools!

Below are links to Minion and the hosting page for all addons, ESOUI. Below that is a list of addons we recommend that will enhance your gameplay.

Why aren't the SRS Addons on Minion?

​

Well because they are very specific and niche to our guild and they wouldn't make a lot of sense for other people to use. The only one that could be useful is the Guild Hall Button Addon but there is already a configurable addon that does a great job of this (although ours looks way cooler)

Addon Support & FAQ

​

  • "I installed the addon, but it’s not showing up in-game!"

    • Make sure you have unzipped the folder before placing it in the AddOns directory.

    • Check the "Add-Ons" menu on your Character Select screen; if it says "Out of Date," check the "Allow out of date add-ons" box at the top of the menu.

​

  • "The SRS Tracker says 'Events finished for today', but it's only 8:00 PM!"

    • The addon uses your computer's system clock to calculate the 9:00 PM UK start time.

    • Ensure your PC's time and time zone are set correctly to "London/GMT" for the most accurate countdown.

​

  • "How do I move the SRS Copy Box?"

    • The /srsguild box is designed to appear in the centre of your screen for a quick copy-paste.

    • If you need to move other UI elements, most addons are compatible with "Azurah" or "LUI Extended," which allow you to unlock and drag windows around.

​

  • "Everything is broken! What do I do?"

    • Type /reloadui in your chat box. This is the "universal fix" for most addon glitches as it restarts the UI engine without logging you out.

A Pro Tip for the Skyrim Red Shirts

​

If you ever run into a Lua Error (a big box with code text), don't panic! It usually just means two addons are trying to talk at the same time. Simply close the box and keep playing—if it keeps happening, let an officer know on Discord.
