A few days ago I came across a great thread on reddit about WildStar must have addons. I decided to test some of them and they really changed my gameplay. In the list below you’ll find their descriptions, and links to download pages. I also added my notes about some of them. I didn’t post any observation about Quests and Leveling addons, because they are very similar, and it’s up to you which one will suite you best. I also created a guide how to install WildStar addons. If I missed any great addon, please let me know in the comments below.

A pretty good list; some are pretty opinion-based, but if you like that sort of thing (ClassicQuestDialog, InstantQuestAccept) then they seem pretty good. I’ve got a few favorites, too:
DotPlates is a minimalist Nameplates replacement, with little/no text and health/shield/casting information displayed in an easy-to-read circular layout. http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/WildStar/220005-dotplates
HarvestPlates is a really useful gathering addon that adds in-world labels to harvest nodes (only ones you can harvest by default) for quick location and identification. http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/wildstar/220501-harvestplates
AnotherSCT allows you to customize floating damage text (if you also like that sort of thing), enlarging crits and changing fonts and a whole lot more (requires ColorPicker) http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/wildstar/220570-anothersct
Newton (for Scientists) keeps your Scanbot spawned and ready, if you’re bugged by how often it disappears. http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/wildstar/220458-newton
SpaceStash is a pretty awesome inventory UI replacement I found just yesterday, minimizing the frame and allowing you to scale the icon sizes per-window, as well as optionally auto-opening your inventory when doing various things such as banking and looking at vendors. http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/wildstar/220186-spacestash
Finally, The Visitor lets you easily find someone’s housing plot by character name instead of scrolling through that endless list of plots we have now. http://www.curse.com/ws-addons/wildstar/220183-the-visitor
