Receive bonus rewards as you face off against other formidable champions across Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds during Whitestrake’s Mayhem!

[h2]Mayhem Spreads Across Tamriel[/h2]
The Whitestrake’s Mayhem in-game event makes its grand return Thursday, February 20 at 10AM EST, and will run until March 4 at 10AM EST. During this period, all players will enjoy a 100% boost to Alliance Point, XP in PvP zones, and Tel Var Stone gains as well as unique in-game rewards by competing in ESO’s various PvP modes.

Eager to clash with your fellow players as they fight for riches and glory? Simply follow these steps below:

1. Head over to the in-game Crown Store to receive the “Details on the Whitestrake’s Mayhem" quest
2. Visit your Alliance War faction's main gate in Cyrodiil using the Alliance War menu or a Battlegrounds camp outside major cities

• Please note that you are not required to travel to Cyrodiil to kick off this event

Locate the NPC “Predicant Maera" to continue the quest

• If you already completed this quest during a previous event, you won't need to do it again

Lastly, complete the quest to receive a complimentary Pelinal’s Boon Box
Test your might before Predicant Maera.

Don’t forget, the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity is no longer necessary to benefit from the buff to Alliance Point, XP, and Tel Var Stone gains. These useful bonuses are now passively shared to all those competing during Whitestrake’s Mayhem.

Bonus Resources & The Golden

In addition to all these awesome rewards, harvesting nodes in Cyrodiil will provide bonus resources during Whitestrake’s Mayhem.

But that’s not all! Adhazabi Aba-daro, better known to some as “The Golden”, has chosen to update her store with rotating CP160 legendary-quality jewelry from various Cyrodiil item sets. Necklaces will be available during the first weekend of the event and rings from the same sets during the second.

Something to note: The Golden will not be offering Monster Masks to customers during Whitestrake’s Mayhem. Additionally, she will only accept Alliance Points in exchange for purchases during this event, not gold (ironically).

[h2]The Impresario & Event Tickets[/h2]
The rewards just keep on coming! Each day of the event, you can earn up to three Event Tickets by completing the following PvP activities:

• Two Event Tickets from the first Cyrodiil or Battleground daily quest
  • These include Bounty Board quests, a Town Daily, the Conquest Board quests, or the daily Battleground quest
• One Event Ticket from an Imperial City District daily quest

If you collect three Event Tickets each day, by the event’s conclusion, you’ll amass a staggering 39 Tickets. However, don’t forget that the total number of Event Tickets you can carry around at any one time is capped at 12. If you’ve got more Tickets than you know what to do with, try swinging by the Impresario’s bazaar to trade them in for some excellent goodies!

Check out our answers to the community’s questions concerning the Cyrodiil Champions test PvP campaign.

Access to the Public Test Server for Update 45 is open to all players on PC/Mac, and one of the many features receiving attention is the Cyrodiil Champions PvP test, also known as the Vengeance campaign. This is a preliminary step to ensure functionality is in place, with the full test occurring on live servers at a later date after Update 45 arrives.

In Studio Director Matt Firor’s letter at the end of last year, he touched on how the team will be experimenting a bit more in the name of future change, innovation, and improvement efforts for ESO. One such effort is the Cyrodiil Champions test, and your feedback will be critical to helping us understand what you like, what you don’t like, and ultimately shape the future of ESO.

Cyrodiil Champions is part of an effort to improve performance and stability in ESO’s open-world PvP experience. After its announcement in January, we reached out to the ESO community on both the official ESO forums and Reddit for your questions, and you can now check out our answers via this post on the ESO forums. For more, check out this recent livestream with the devs!

We hope you’re excited for the upcoming battles in Cyrodiil, including this new test campaign now live on the PTS, and later on live servers. For details on the test, check out the 10.30.1 PTS patch notes, and look out for more on Cyrodiil Champions sometime after Update 45 is live. Are you interested in this new PvP test?
