Clash with your fellow players across Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds as you collect bonus XP, collectibles, and more!
Mayhem Returns
The Whitestrake’s Mayhem in-game event begins this Thursday, February 17 at 10AM EST, and runs until Tuesday, March 1 at 10AM EST. During the event period, you and your allies can enjoy huge bonuses to both your Alliance Point and XP gains and get your hands on unique rewards while participating in ESO’s various PvP activities.
Here’s how you join the fight:
- Visit the in-game Crown Store to acquire the “Details on the Whitestrake’s Mayhem" quest.
- 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.
- 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.
- Complete the quest to receive your Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity and a Pelinal's Boon Box.
- 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.
Begin your campaign in Cyrodiil
You can use the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity throughout the entirety of the event, but if you happen to misplace it, you can always speak with Predicant Maera to obtain another or use the Basin of the Gore Virtuous instead. Remember: the Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity is an inventory item rather than a Memento/Tool.

Clash for glory and loot
Bonus Resources & The Golden
Throughout the event, harvesting nodes within Cyrodiil and the Imperial City provide double their regular resources. Additionally, the Cyrodiil merchant Adhazabi, “The Golden,” Aba-daro will update her stock to contain legendary-quality Alliance War jewelry, with necklaces for sale during the first weekend and rings during the second.
Event Tickets & Rewards
During the Whitestrake’s Mayhem event, you can earn up to three Event Tickets per day by completing two different PvP activities:
- Two Tickets come from the first Cyrodiil or Battleground repeatable quest you do each day. These can include Bounty Board quests, a Town Daily, the Conquest Board quests, or the daily Battleground quest.
- One Ticket if you complete a District daily from the Imperial City.
That means you can earn up to 39 Event Tickets if you complete each activity every day of the event! Keep in mind that the Event Ticket timer resets at 2:00AM EST each morning, so if you earn new Event Tickets over the regular 12-limit cap, you’ll lose them.
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!
- Soulfire Dragon Illusion Pet Fragments
- Hallowed Hourglass Basin
- Illuminated Dragon Scroll
- Kvatchian Incense
- Scales of Akatosh Skin Fragments
- Aureate Anointing Oils
- Lustrous Ritual Sand
- Black Drake Clanwrap Outfit Style Pages
- Black Drake Body Marking
- Black Drake Face Marking
- Bag of Veteran's Glory
- Containing a collectible that you don’t currently own from previous years’ Mayhem events
