ESO login rewards for August will help make one grind a little easier

Recent months in the Elder Scrolls Online have seen daily login rewards become ever more extravagant. Players have received a free home for logging in and even some free DLC, the latter of which is doubly remarkable as the Clockwork City contains some of the best storytelling seen in the MMO. August's rewards have now been unveiled and while they are a touch more mundane, they do promise to help with one key grind.

Flame Atronach Senche-Jaguar—Day 2

Be careful when cuddling this fiery fellow!

When asked about flame atronachs, many may think of destruction and ruin, while some may even bring up Mehrunes Dagon’s realm of the Deadlands. But never fear—this fiery beast can become a fierce partner in your adventures. You can claim the Flame Atronach Senche-Jaguar by logging in twice this month, which features other surprises from Dagon’s Oblivion realm.


Face Marking: Rose of Tamriel—Day 7

Let your beauty bloom

You’ll love how you look with this gorgeous face marking. Unlock the Rose of Tamriel face marking after seven days of logins this month.


Luminous Ink—Days 10-13

Voluminous amounts of Luminous Ink

Luminous Ink is a key resource for the Gold Road Chapter’s Scribing system. Whether you want it for your own Scribing efforts or to trade to other players, you receive three Luminous Ink each day when you log in on days 10-13, potentially earning 12 Luminous Ink in total.



Body Marking: Rose of Tamriel—Day 14

Turn heads with this body tattoo

Be the center of attention with these stunning body markings. Are they devotions to Dibella, a statement of self-love and fulfillment, or just too striking not to wear? You tell us—and be sure to claim them on your fourteenth login this month!


These and more rewards await while logging in this month. To see the full list, venture into the game on August 1 (and claim the first one while you’re there). Are you eager to claim August 2024’s in-game Daily Login Rewards? Don’t forget, August continues the 10-Year Anniversary Celebration fun with an all-new spotlight, too.

Defeat Your Rivals & Earn Bonus Rewards During the Whitestrake’s Mayhem Event!


Go toe-to-toe with your fellow players across Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds all while collecting exciting in-game rewards during the Whitestrake’s Mayhem PvP event!
[h2]Mayhem Is On the Rise[/h2]
The Whitestrake’s Mayhem event makes its grand return to Tamriel next Thursday, July 25 at 10AM EDT, and runs until August 6 at 10AM EDT. Throughout the event, you will benefit from a 100% bonus to Alliance Point, XP, and Tel Var Stone gain. In addition, you can earn unique goodies by participating in ESO’s PvP game modes.

Ready to clash against other adventurers on the battlefield? Simply follow the steps below:
  1. Head over to the in-game Crown Store and receive the “Details on the Whitestrake’s Mayhem" quest
  2. Travel to your Alliance War faction's main gate in Cyrodiil using the Alliance War menu or a Battlegrounds camp outside major cities
    1. You do not need to travel to Cyrodiil to start the event
  3. Locate the NPC named “Predicant Maera" and continue the quest
    1. Note that if you’ve previously completed the quest, you won't need to do it again
  4. Complete the quest to receive a complimentary Pelinal’s Boon Box

One key difference from previous years’ events is that you no longer need to obtain or use the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity to benefit from the 100% buff to Alliance Point, XP, and Tel Var Stone gains. These bonuses are now shared passively to adventurers skirmishing throughout Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds. As a result, there is no longer a method to pick up the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity anywhere in-game, and those who already own the item will now notice it no longer offers any functionality.
[h2]Battle for Bonus Rewards[/h2]
While participating in the Whitestrake’s Mayhem in-game event, you can amass a collection of bonus in-game goodies for your heroic efforts.

The Ayleid Lich Armor Style

Bonus Resources & The Golden

Are you a crafter? Keep a keen eye out as you travel from battle to battle as harvesting nodes in Cryodiil will yield additional resources throughout the event.

Additionally, the merchant Adhazabi “The Golden” Aba-daro will offer various CP160 jewelry from Cyrodiil item sets. Legendary necklaces will be available during the first weekend of Whitestrake’s Mayhem and legendary rings from the same sets will be offered during the second.

Throughout the celebration, The Golden will not offer Monster Masks and all purchases in her shop will require Alliance Points. Contrary to her title, she will not accept gold.
[h2]The Impresario & Event Tickets[/h2]
During Whitestrake’s Mayhem, up to three Event Tickets can be earned each day by completing the following activities:
