4. Ingredients
Ingredients handily and clearly highlight items in a vendor’s inventory that are part of a known recipe. A great ESO mod for crafting that can save time that would otherwise be spent looking back and forth from your recipes to the vendor’s inventory.

7. Sky Shards
Sky Shards are super important in The Elder Scrolls Online, and collecting as many as possible is hugely important in making your character as strong and versatile as possible. This handy marks these shards on your map, so you won’t have any trouble tracking them down.

10. Multi-Quest Tracker
By default, vanilla ESO only lets you track a single quest at one time. This simple modification changes that, and, as the name implies, allows you to track multiple quests at one time. Much more useful, especially when you’re just mopping up handfuls of minor quests.

11. Stop Right There!

13. Bag Space Indicator
A nice little mod that creates a small window that will track how much space you’ve got left in your bags and storage, as well as how much gold you’re carrying. A very nice inventory mod that can save some time and hassle when your bags start to get full.

14. Dustman
This simple, humble mod will organize and get rid of any junk in your inventory. It’ll destroy anything worth no gold value, and automatically sell anything that does have value. Excellent stuff! Absolutely essential if you’re the kind of player who loots everything they kill.

15. Reshade 3.0
A nice ESO graphic overhaul mod that aims to add depth to shadows and dark areas, and remove the strong blue tint that vanilla Elder Scrolls Online has.
