WildStar Addons

Here is the set of addons I use to enhance my WildStar experience (with Curse link):


BetterQuestLog is a minimalist oriented quest log replacement that does away with the episode/category/quest tree-style of quest menu in favor of the more familiar flat menu. (It also hides out-of-area quests? And there's a tiny button to show what level is each quest)

BijiPlates is a nameplate replacement add-on that shows separated health and shield bars instead of the default in-line style. (This replaces the default health/shield meter with a stylized one, and has too many options for me to handle, so I leave it at default.)

GalaxyMeter aims to be a comprehensive meter that will track all sources of damage, healing, interrupts, dispels and player deaths. (And it really is. If nothing else, it's helped me maximize my warrior/soldier DPS)

GroupRadar helps "getting the band back together" by showing arrows pointing to your group members. (An arrow pointing to each party member, with distance underneath? Yes, please!)

IconLoot is an alternative to Carbine's LootNotificationWindow.  It provides a customizable notifications for loot that you receive.

JunkIt - The red  bag icon sells all items that are classified as junk.  Classification is set through the options. (One button to sell all the stuff you KNOW you don't need. Click it to sell junk then sort your inventory)

NavMate is a navigation helper for WildStar without the need to replace Carbine's MiniMap and ZoneMap addons. (This is a big multiporpoise tool for WildStar that you will regret not having. It does all kinds of things, from changing the minimap to square, to transparent map overlay - great for finding your way around  - and even mutes the taxi driver!)

TheZone shows information about players in your zone in real time and more. You can see all players in your range (270 m maximum) start at your location. (This is a MUST HAVE for PvP servers. Tells you all about who is in your Zone.)

ThreatMeter is a basic threat meter. (It gives you a window showing who has how much threat, and it pops up with "High Threat" in the middle of your screen when your threat gets high enough for you to take aggro.)

TrackMaster is a simple addon which will draw a line to a specific unit / position. (This thing is great - click on anything - mob or friendly player or enemy player or thing on map or quest, and it gives you a bunch of arrows pointing there, color-coded for distance. Warrior Leap attack range is where the arrows change from green to orange)

NyanCat - It actually processed after like 2 years... (It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!)


How to load addons with the game already running:

1. Open explorer
2. Paste %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\NCSOFT\WildStar\Addons in the address bar and hit enter
3. Unzip these and stick 'em in there
4. Hit ESC, click Addons, then click Reload UI in the lower right. They should show right up.




More to come: Ed's section

(I'll sort these after I sleep. It's been a long, busy weekend.)

AbilityErrorControl - If you want to see the ability error messages but don't like the position, size or color of the message this add-on will allow you to change just that!

ActionSetProfiles - This is currently limited to your limited action sets - abilities and tiers.  Support for AMPs should be added in the next beta weekend. 

AMPFinder helps you find missing AMPs and not buy AMPs you've already unlocked through a combination of AMP menu, AMP vendor, and map overlay tweaks and additions.

AuraMastery is a Buff / Debuff / Cooldown / Resource / Health & General Proc tracker useful for tracking those important abilities!

Buffmaster is a simple buff, debuff & cooldown bar.

CustomFoV allows you to set your own FoV value. The game defaults to 50, and many people find it fatiguing. 60-75 is often better for many players, but I'd recommend you adjust to your own preferences. 

DetailedExperienceText - Provides additional information regarding experience gains.

Interruptor - shows everything related to interrupting in an intuitive and uncomplicated way.

PotatoUI is a UI addon that replaces a large portion of the default Carbine UI with simplified, yet highly customizable, UI elements. 

SCastbar - SCastBar replaces the default CastBar and makes some improvements.

Trackmaster: Subdue allows you to easily track your weapon when subdued, by integrating with TrackMaster.

ZenRadar - This application will show a pop-up with all the nearest unread journals and datacubes in your vicinity.
