Keybind

You can bind a key to share facts instead of typing /facts:

1. Open Settings > Keybindings
2. Scroll to "ESO Facts"
3. Set your preferred key for "Share Random Fact"

Settings Menu

If you have LibAddonMenu installed, you can configure ESOFacts through the game's addon settings:

• Cooldown - Adjust the cooldown between facts (0-30 seconds)
• Default Channel - Set your preferred chat channel
• Auto Mode Settings - Configure minimum interval and max facts
• Reset Cycle - Clear shown facts to see them all again

Access via: Settings > Addon Settings > ESO Facts (or type /factsettings)

Auto Mode

Automatically sends facts to chat at a set interval. Includes safeguards to prevent spam:

• Minimum interval: 5 minutes (configurable in settings)
• Maximum facts: 10 (configurable in settings, then auto-stops)
• Restricted channels: Only works with group and guild chat (not say, yell, or zone)

Example Usage

/factschannel guild1
/factsauto 10

This sends a random fact to guild 1 every 10 minutes, stopping after 10 facts.

Custom Facts

Add your own facts to the rotation:

/factsadd The Ebonheart Pact was formed after the Akaviri invasion.
/factslist
/factsremove 1

Custom facts are saved between sessions and included in the random rotation alongside built-in facts.

Installation

1. Download and extract to your AddOns folder:
   • Windows: Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns\ESOFacts
2. Enable the addon in the game's addon menu
3. Type /facts in chat to get started
