Dominate Your Rivals During the Whitestrake’s Mayhem PvP Event


Battle with and against your fellow adventures across Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds, all the while earning bonus Alliance Points and XP, in-game rewards, and more!
[h2]Mayhem is Back![/h2]
The Whitestrake’s Mayhem in-game event begins this Thursday, July 28 at 10AM EST, and runs until Tuesday, August 9 at 10AM EST. During the event period, you can enjoy bonuses to both your Alliance Point and XP gains in addition to earning fantastic in-game rewards while participating in ESO’s PvP activities.

Here’s how you can join the fight:
  1. Visit the in-game Crown Store to acquire 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
    • You are not required to travel to Cyrodiil to kick off the event
  3. Find the NPC named “Predicant Maera" and continue the quest
    • If you already completed the quest last year, you won't need to do it again
  4. Complete the quest to receive your Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity and a Pelinal's Boon Box
  5. Use the scroll to enjoy a two-hour, 100% buff in the Alliance War, Imperial City, and Battlegrounds to:
    • Alliance Points gained
    • XP gains for PvP player kills

Work together to capture Cyrodiil

You can use the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity throughout the entirety of the Whitestrake’s Mayhem. If you happen to misplace the scroll, you can always return to Predicant Maera to obtain another or utilize the Basin of the Gore Virtuous instead. Keep in mind: the Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity is an inventory item, not a Memento/Tool.
[h2]To the Victor![/h2]
As you battle your fellow players and earn glory during the Whitestrake’s Mayhem event, you can earn event-specific loot.

NEW—House Dufort Banneret Outfit Styles

Brandish your chivalric pride for all to witness through the armament of the Knights of the House of Dufort, dropped by Imperial City sweepers and bosses.

Bonus Resources & The Golden

In addition, throughout the event, players that utilize harvesting nodes within Cyrodiil and the Imperial City will find that they provide double their typical resources. Even better, the Cyrodiil merchant Adhazabi, “The Golden,” Aba-daro will update her stock to contain Cyrodiil-available jewelry, in CP160 Gold quality, with necklaces for sale during the first weekend and rings during the second.

Get your PvP jewelry from Adhazabi

Be aware that throughout the duration of Whitestrake’s Mayhem, Aba-daro will not be selling Monster Masks and all purchases in her shop must be made with Alliance Points, not gold.
[h2]Event Tickets & Rewards[/h2]
During this event, you can earn up to three Event Tickets per day by completing two different PvP activities:

· Two Event Tickets from the first Cyrodiil or Battleground repeatable quest you do each day
o Note that these can include Bounty Board quests, a Town Daily, the Conquest Board quests, or the daily Battleground quest
· One Event Ticket from a District daily quest within the Imperial City

That means you can earn up to 39 Event Tickets if you complete each activity every day of the event! Be aware: you can hold up to a maximum of 12 Event Tickets, so if you earn more while already at the ticket cap, they’ll not be added to your inventory.

Once you’ve gathered a healthy collection of tickets, be sure to visit the Impresario event merchant to barter for some tantalizing collectibles. Here’s everything the Impresario will have in stock during the Whitestrake’s Mayhem event. Spend wisely!

NEW—The first Daggerfall Paladin Costume Fragment

o Blessed Rubedite Metal Enamel
· All three Soulfire Dragon Illusion Pet Fragments
o Hallowed Hourglass Basin
o Illuminated Dragon Scroll
o Kvatchian Incense

o Keep in mind that you can hold only one bag at a time!
· Group Repair Kits
· Companion Guild Commendations for Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and Undaunted

Heads up; this is your first opportunity to pick up a fragment for the Daggerfall Paladin Costume, this quarter’s morphing collectible reward.
