12 must-have add-ons for WildStar

BetterQuestLog

Real talk: WildStar's default quest tracker is an indecipherable abomination. The categorized breakdowns that are meant to help you know which quests are part of the main story, the zone story, or are just straight up fetch quests--but in practice they make the quest log look like a cluttered mess. Enter BetterQuestLog, an add-on that takes a more minimalist--and thus easier-to-read--approach to quest tracking.

CustomFoV

As anyone who has played hundreds of hours of multiple MMOs will likely agree, playing while totally zoomed in typically isn't a great idea. I often like to zoom out as far as possible to ensure I have vision of everything I might need to see during a PvP or raid boss encounter. The excellent CustomFoV add-on allows you to increase WildStar's max zooming range, making it simple to get a bit more vision during play.

TrackMaster

As its name suggests, TrackMaster is a fantastic tool for, er, tracking things. Let's say you're stuck on a quest, and are not sure where to go to complete its objective. Enable TrackMaster, and it will (literally) draw a line to your goal. Or maybe you want it to track gathering nodes or rare monsters--it'll do that, too. Certainly a handy add-on, this one.

QuestCleanup

There are a lot of quests in WildStar. I usually accept every quest I come across, but I don't always end up finishing them all. While it's not that difficult to comb through my quest log and abandon the low-level ones I have no interest in backtracking to finish, QuestCleanup makes abandoning them significantly easier. With the push of a button, it auto-abandons all quests that are far below your current level. Aww yeah.
