ESO’s premier PvP event returns with a refit this August, granting bolstered rewards for Tamriel’s warriors.
Bring Glory to Pelinal
Arm yourself with your best PvP gear and gather your strongest allies! The Whitestrake’s Mayhem in-game event has returned and is now live from August 5 until August 12. During this event period, as you duke it out with your fellow players in the Battlegrounds, Alliance War, and Imperial City, you can earn bonus rewards, including:
- 100% boost to Experience Point gains in Battlegrounds, Imperial City, and Alliance War
- 100% boost to Alliance Point gains in Battlegrounds, Imperial City, and Alliance War
- 100% boost to Tel Var Stone gains in the Imperial City
- Pelinal’s Boon Boxes, a special event reward box
If you’re eager to progress your rank in ESO’s Veterancy system, there’s no better time to jump in and unlock unique rewards.
Join the Fight
To get started, simply jump into an Alliance War campaign, take part in a Battlegrounds match, or enter the Imperial city. You do not need to do anything to activate the bonus XP, Alliance Points, or Tel Var Stones—just jump into the fight!
If you wish, you can acquire the introductory quest available for free from the Crown Store titled “Whitestrake’s Mayhem” and speak to Predicant Maera.
Prepare to honor Pelinal
You might have noticed that this new version of Whitestrake’s Mayhem is shorter than previous versions. These “One-Week Whitestrake’s” are intended to pop up more frequently throughout the year (with the next one tentatively scheduled for November) and have some design changes to reflect this new regularity. We will continue to share our plans and changes related to Whitestrake’s as we move forward, but until then, glory awaits!
Battle for Boons
As you clash with other players in PvP, you can earn Pelinal’s Boon Boxes in addition to your regular rewards. Activities that reward Boon Boxes this event include:
- Completing the introductory quest
- Recieving a Rewards for the Worthy mail
- Additional rewards for certain PvP repeatable quests
- Board mission repeatable quests
- Town repeatable quests
- Battlegrounds repeatable quests
- Imperial City repeatable quests
When you seize a Pelinal’s Boon Box, it always contains Tel Var Stones, but it also has a chance to contain the following rewards:
- One of three different items required for the Colovian War Torte recipe and its variations (with various levels of extreme rarity)
- More details on the Colovian War Torte recipe and its upgrades below!
- Breton Terrier Mammoth Bones (rare)
- Fragments for the Alliance Breton Terrier pet
- Crafting materials
- On rare occasions, including ingredients for War Tortes
- Transmute Crystals
- Coldharbour siege weapons
- Hakeijo Runestone, for use in Prismatic Glyphs
- Books of Pelinal housing items
- PvP consumables such as repair kits, forward camps, and siege weapons
- Outfit style pages and style items for the Alliance and Akaviri styles
- Unbound outfit style pages for Tava's Goshawk, Truth in Wisdom, Arkay Unending Cycle, Ayleid Lich, Dovah's Du'ul, and Sancre Tor Sentry
Earn fragments for a classic pet
Colovian War Torte
As mentioned above, each Pelinal's Boon Box has an extremely rare chance to drop items related to the Colovian War Torte, including the base recipe, Chef Arquitius's Torte Dissertation, or Chef Arquitius's Lost Thesis. The dissertation and thesis are even more rarely seen than the recipe (consider them a jackpot). These in turn can be combined and consumed to give you the ability to craft the base Colovian War Torte, the Molten War Torte, or the White-Gold War Torte at a cookfire.
- Colovian War Torte
- Grants a 50% boost to Alliance Point gains for 30 minutes
- Molten War Torte
- Combine a Colovian War Torte recipe with the Arquitius's Dissertation to make the Molten War Torte recipe (which you can then consume to learn how to craft it)
- Grants a 100% boost to Alliance Point gains for 30 minutes
- White-Gold War Torte
- Combine a Molten War Torte recipe with the Chef Arquitius's Lost Thesis to make the White-Gold War Torte recipe (which you can then consume to learn how to craft it)
- Grants a 150% boost to Alliance Point gains for 30 minutes
Phew! Note that these items have long been available from various PvP-specific sources, but for the Whitestrake’s Mayhem event, you can now also get them from Boon Boxes. As stated numerous times above, they’re extremely rare, so good luck!
Moving forward, any and all new event rewards are included in Boon Boxes, ensuring you can earn the latest and greatest no matter what PvP mode you enjoy most.
Event Merchants
During the Whitestrake’s Mayhem event, a host of merchants are available to combatants, all hoping to profit from Tamriel’s various PvP conflicts. Don’t forget that this event and these merchants are live only from August 5 until August 12.
The Golden
The Golden merchant Adhazabi Aba-daro returns with a full stock of CP160 legendary-quality rings, while her assistant sells amulets of the same quality. Note that both vendors accept only Alliance Points in exchange for their goods.
The Golden vendor returns
The Impresario
The Impresario has returned for this week-long event, but this time she stocks only a collection of previous Whitestrake’s Mayhem rewards. Examples include the Ebonsteel Knight style pages, Gloamsedge style pages, the Sancre Tor Sentry Armor style pages, and many more. Please note that while these items are available for Trade Bars, this event does not reward Trade Bars in itself.
Acquire past event rewards
Furthermore, the Impresario’s assistant, Philius Dormer, also stocks a series of PvP rewards, such as the Alliance Standard-Bearer’s License, Legion Zero style pages, and more. Some of Philius Dormer’s rewards are available for Alliance Points, while you can exchange Trade Bars for others .
To see the full collection of available rewards from the Impresario and her assistant, visit them in game!
As a final reminder, the leaner, meaner version of this in-game event no longer rewards Trade Bars (formerly known as Event Tickets).
Make Mayhem
The refitted and restyled Whitestrake’s Mayhem is live, and from now until August 12, expect the Battlegrounds, Alliance War, and Imperial City PvP conflicts to heat up as players of all stripes and styles clash.
