Harven's Improved Skills Window

Overview

This addon will improve your skills window. It introduces following changes:

This addon will improve your skills window. It introduces following changes:
- shows active abilities experience gained/total and percentage inside experience bars,
- the above applies also to skills,
- experience bars are slightly higher, so the internal labels are more visible,
- labels next to morphed active abilities include name of the root ability (in brackets),
- when mouse is over active ability experience bar 2 tooltips will appear: bottom one is the same as the icon's one and the other showing next rank informations,
- when mouse is over "+" button next to purchased passive ability another tooltip will appear showing upgrade information.
- the same tooltip will appear when the mouse is over purchased passive ability (in addition to the original tooltip),
- when mouse is over a purchased active ability two additional tooltips will appear. If the skill is not morphed they will show both morphs at morph rank. If the skill is after morph they will show next rank information in both morphs (so you will know what you are missing ;)).
- the checkbox in the skill window header allows you to disable/enable display of detailed skills progression

The addon is compatible with Shinni's SpentSkillPoints addon.

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Harven's Improved Skills Window by Harven. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on ESOUI on 3 October 2026: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info489-HarvensImprovedSkillsWindow.html

Mythiq.net hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.esoui.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq.net only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

Media

Requirements

Game version
  • 11.0.0
API VERSION

Built for ESO API version 11.0.0. After a patch the game marks add-ons built for the previous API as out of date; the "Allow out of date add-ons" checkbox in the add-on menu loads them anyway, and most work.

LIBRARIES

Many ESO add-ons depend on a shared library — LibAddonMenu-2.0 above all — which is installed separately, exactly like an add-on. A dependency that is missing shows as the add-on simply not appearing in the list.

CONSOLE

Add-ons are PC and Mac only. There is no way to load them on console.

Installation

1. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.

2. Move the unzipped folder into your add-ons directory:

Windows — Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns

macOS — ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns

3. Start the game, and at the character select screen click Add-Ons.

4. Tick the add-on. If it is greyed out and marked out of date, tick "Allow out of date add-ons" at the top of the same panel.

5. Log in. Most add-ons need a /reloadui after they are first enabled.

UPDATING

Delete the old folder first. ESO loads everything it finds, and two copies of one add-on is the usual cause of "an add-on has produced an error" on login.

This release downloads from cdn.esoui.com, not from us, so there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
