Thanks for the addon.
The correct German translation for the "missing" slash command would be
though

Feature request: also show a label with the Stage/Cycle/Arc numbers. Ideally also change color or show text if the next one will be a regular boss or Tho'at/big boss.

Rationale: if the next level is a boss, or Tho'at/big boss, your verse picks will typically be very different, and if you've lost count, it's annoying having to hit escape from the verse picker to see the counter in the top right of the screen. Just having it remain in the picker would fix that, but it could even be made slightly more useful.

Your implementation was WAY better than I had imagined, and I was delighted to also be poked to pick up a quest item before I ported, too! REALLY nice work.

Another suggestion:
the favorites system already lets me choose quickly, which is really great when I'm playing with someone, because I never feel like I'm slowing them down.
Unfortunately, there's often the case where none of my favorites are available.

So instead of just a "favorites" and "everything else" list, It'd be cool to have three lists, something like "favorites", "normal", and "avoid".

Some "avoid"s you might even be able to auto-detect and have in that list by default:
Well-Trained Command (no pet skills slotted)
Archival Assault (No assault skills slotted)
Archival Worldliness (No world skills slotted)
Guild of Superiority (No guild skills slotted)
Focused efforts (No status effect skills slotted, no gear that applies status effects)

But others are playstyle/build dependent:
Frenzied Zeal (I never use light attacks)
Swift Gale (I never use light attacks)
Fortified Dexterity (I don't dodge & block enough to be worth having)
Defensive Maneuver (I don't dodge & block enough to be worth having)
Mighty Bash (I rarely bash)
Effortless Acrobatics (I don't dodge enough to be worth having)
Gilded Sleight (I don't care much about gold)
Full Coffers (I don't care much about gold)
Lessons Learned (I don't care much about XP)
Vicious Poisons (I don't use poisons)

... and likely more.

Or perhaps, if three dropdown picklists would be too tricky to manage in the UI, we could instead be able to assign an arbitrary icon, color or string to each skill?

Whooo, great update!

Just updated and immediately got the tomeshells - that counter is SO nice!

I like the way you handled the "avoid" list. Hrm, I wonder what happens if I add a favorite to the avoids... it seems to let me. Hrm. That might even be useful sometimes. But let's see how it shows up in the UI, that'll only be useful if it shows both icons at once... YES! I get both icons. So if I really want, I can use "both avoid and fav" for yet another category of thing, like "think before selecting (eg Rebirth)". That's nice.

Wow you even implemented the auto-avoids! And it even showed me where I was wrong! I had "Guild Superiority" in "Favorites", but your auto-marker also marked it as "Avoid". Made me realize I was thinking it was for CLASS skills, not GUILD skills. D'oh!

And the reminder to pick up quest items is also great. Hrm, would it be possible to have a similar reminder to pick up from the loot goblin in the boss levels? I'm not sure if he's even detectable through Lua, though.

Amazing job all round. It makes the Archive so much less annoying.

Couple of minor cosmetic bug reports:

1) might just be me running too many other addons that might conflict somehow, but when I clicked to toggle "Show timer in the echoing Den", I get:

This error seems to cause that setting to only visually update once I change a different setting. So, probably just cosmetic?

Reproducible after a /reloadui. None of the other settings seem affected.

2) Adding and removing items from the "Avoid" list seems to immediately change whether I can see the icons, but not the "Favorite" list.

Steps to reproduce:

- Complete one round of the archive to get a Verse.
- Hit escape at the Verse selection display to drop out without selecting anything.
- Go to addon settings and add some of the verses that were displayed to one or the other list.
- Go back into the verse selector.
- Verses that were just added to/removed from Avoid will correctly show the "No" icon.
- Verses that were just added to/removed from Favorite will not show the "Star" icon. Not even a reloadui makes it show up.

Tested w Stamina Renewal (Avoid) and Fire Orb (Favorite) respectively.

[Edit: This might be a "me" problem. Some others of my "favorites" seem to no longer be getting the star icon: Magical Multitudes and Exsanguinate no longer show it, either. It still shows on Flame Aura and Piercing Perfection. I probably need to do more testing on this to get you a good bug report.]

The tomeshell counter doesn‘t update and won‘t disappear after leaving the room.
Might be a non-English client issue.

German. Tomeshell is called „Buchsiedler“.

So I'm not gonna update to the new version until I can reproduce the issue I was having last night: then I'll update it and retry.

OK, here we go, with the old version, Eye Catching is fav'd but not showing icon. Trying to update before the verses timeout and disappear... Yes, that seems to have fixed the issue, the green star now shows above Eye Catching. Impressively fast fix!

Also fix confirmed for the "Show timer" toggle in the settings.

Huh. And now, one arc later, it's NOT showing on Eye Catching.
And (I think! I wasn't really paying attention!) it also didn't show the Avoid marker for Mighty Bash. So this might not just affect Favs.

Something strange may be going on. Perhaps this one's a different issue?

Maybe it happens the SECOND time you see an item from your list? I'll have to keep an eye out now, and track which ones I see, see if I can figure out a pattern to reproduce it. But my run is done for the day, and I should get to bed.
