Plunder Skull Timer (2019 Witches Festival) Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.4.1

by: code65536 [More]

What's new in 2018?

It appears that the 3-minute cooldown on regular Plunder Skulls has been removed for the 2018 festival for most sources of regular Plunder Skulls. For the most part, the on-screen timer can be ignored.

The 2018 festival also introduces the new Dremora Plunder Skulls, which appear to be on a 20-hour cooldown from the previous skull of that type that was looted. The /pstdremora command was added to support this.

Dremora Plunder Skulls

Typing the /pstdremora command into chat will print to your chatbox a log of the Dremora Plunder Skulls that you have looted and when each was looted, to help with managing the eligibility cooldowns on these skulls.

You can also include an optional filter term; e.g., if you type /pstdremora tri, it will show only the skulls whose names contain "tri" (i.e., the Trial skulls); typing /pstdremora without a filter term will show the full unfiltered log.

Alternatively, there is another addon that can track Dremora Plunder Skulls in a manner that's more user-friendly than a log dump: Event Tickets

Old Information (pre-2018)

What is the Plunder Skull Timer and what does it do?

This simple addon displays the amount of time that has elapsed since the last time you looted a Plunder Skull.

Since the Plunder Skulls from the Witches Festival appear have an internal drop cooldown, it's useful to see how long it's been since your last loot.

How do I use this addon?

Just install the addon! The timer will automatically appear when you loot a Plunder Skull, and the timer will automatically reset when you loot another Plunder Skull. If you haven't looted a Plunder Skull in a long time (over 15 minutes), the timer will automatically stop and hide itself.

Once the timer appears, you can reposition it by using your mouse to drag it around.

You can manually hide the timer by double-clicking on it.

You can disable the auto-hide feature (so that the timer will run indefinitely) by typing the /pstautohide command into chat.

How long is the cooldown on Plunder Skulls?

Based on my testing, the cooldown is exactly 3 minutes for bosses in group dungeons. I think it's safe to assume that the same cooldown applies to other instanced content, such as trials and arenas. It's been reported that public dungeon bosses also share the same 3-minute cooldown. Reports on the forums suggest that the cooldown is higher for overland and delve bosses, but I have not tested this to confirm nor do I know what their cooldowns are.

Version 1.4.1 (2019/10/25)
- Adjusted the format of the Dremora Plunder Skull log to reflect the new reset timing
Version 1.4.0 (2019/10/24)
- Preliminary update for the 2019 Witches Festival; it is unclear if Dremora Plunder Skulls are still on a 20-hour timer or if they have been changed to reset at 0600 UTC, so further adjustments may be needed
Version 1.3.2 (2018/10/20)
- Reinstated the timer for regular skulls; although the vast majority of regular skull sources are not subject to a cooldown, it appears that some skull sources are still subject to a cooldown
Version 1.3.1 (2018/10/20)
- Server identity (NA/EU) will now be remembered for newly-acquired skulls; the log display will note if a skull was acquired on a server different than the current server (the server identity will be shown only if the current server is not the skull's origin, and it is not retroactive for any skulls acquired before installing version 1.3.1)
Version 1.3.0 (2018/10/20)
- Disabled the timer for regular Plunder Skulls
- The /pstdremora command can now filter by skull type; e.g., if you type "/pstdremora tri", it will show only the skulls whose names contain "tri" (i.e., the Trial skulls); typing "/pstdremora" without a filter term will still show the full log as before
Version 1.2.4 (2018/10/18)
- Based on forum reports of the cooldown duration, the timestamps for the Dremora Plunder Skull log are now color-coded red if it was less than 20 hours ago, and green otherwise
Version 1.2.3 (2018/10/18)
- Added a chat command (/pstdremora) to show a time log of the Dremora Plunder Skulls you have looted
Version 1.2.2 (2018/10/18)
- Updated for the 2018 Witches Festival
Version 1.2.1 (2017/10/23)
- API version bump for Update 16 (Clockwork City)
Version 1.2.0 (2017/10/20)
- Updated for the 2017 Witches Festival
Version 1.1.1 (2016/10/24)
- The timer will now start counting from a combat end event, if there was one 15 seconds or less before a skull pickup (The game's cooldown starts when the boss is killed, but since there is no way to track that, the addon uses the skull pickup time instead as a close approximation; this change refines that heuristic by using the combat end time, if there was a combat end event shortly before a skull pickup)
Version 1.1.0 (2016/10/17)
- The timer is now color-coded: red from 00:00 to 2:29, yellow from 2:30 to 2:59, and green from 3:00 onwards
- Right-clicking on the timer will post the current elapsed time into group chat
Version 1.0.1 (2016/10/14)
- The timer will no longer trigger from skulls looted by group members
Version 1.0.0 (2016/10/14)
- Initial version

Well, the log in version 1.4.1 tells you which ones you've gotten today (and marks them with green). While I could make it show which ones you haven't gotten, showing which ones you have is easier to implement and I don't really have much interest in spending much time on this addon.

Since the other Event Ticket add-on looks to be abandoned, would it be possible to incorporate some of its plunder skull features into this one? With the main plunder timer at top, and the dremora skulls hidden in a dropdown. Whether you choose to add these features or not, it would probably be good to remove the link to Event Tickets since it no longer works.

It will disappear if you reload UI or if 15 minutes have passed without looting a skull. It will reappear the next time you loot a skull. This is intended.

You are certainly free to write your own addon, of course. I simply have no incentive to do anything that would take more than 10 minutes to implement.

Sorry if my comment sounded meanie! Sadly I lack any skill to write addons haha, I agree that this won't be used for long but it may be used by many for countless houers during the event. Anyways thanks for the addon!

Thanks!

It's not a doubling up--the log is pretty primitive (I spent at most 15 minutes on it :P), so it just displays everything. You're looking at two days worth of skulls. The only ones that you need to pay attention to to are the red ones at the bottom of the list, because those are all the ones that are on cooldown. All the green entries above that (and there will be many, many more as the event goes on) are really just there for your records.

Don't see a need for the green text list then?!

Woud be nice if you coud spent another 15 minutes and replace this chat list with a tooltip on the skill or a showable window before we discuss more about the usless normal skulls...

Woud be nice to see what exactly I'm missing and where it comes from since the skull names itself are confusing...it woud be perfect if I just hoover the skull and it then just says

ToDo (3): 1. Worldboss [Now Lootable!] 2. Trail [Lootable in 50 minutes] 3. DSA/MA [Lootable in 2 Hours]
Done (4/7): 4. Dolmen 5. Dungeon 6. Public Dungeon 7. Delve [First one will be lootable in 14 Hours]

i haven't done enough bosses in enough locations to really say with authority, but what appears to me to be happening is that there is no cooldown in general for regular plunder skulls, so that you can go from one boss to another within seconds, like at a public dungeon...but...there is a cooldown for the same boss...that's just what it appears to be doing for me...

edit:
...oh, by the way, it was at the forgotten crypts in deshaan that I was experiencing this...
