'The Elder Scrolls Online' (ALL) Launches Midyear Mayhem PvP Event

by Rainier on July 18, 2017 @ 8:42 a.m. PDT

The Elder Scrolls Online is the first Elder Scrolls game to allow gamers to explore the legendary Elder Scrolls world with others.

Using ZeniMax Online’s Megaserver technology, players will join one connected world with a built in social network that lets them stay up-to-date with everything their friends are doing.

Megaserver technology avoids the hassle of shard selection and makes The Elder Scrolls Online one of the most socially enabled games ever created.  Whether playing alone, or with hundreds of friends, players can develop their own style of play as they embark upon an epic quest across Tamriel.


From July 20 to July 31, The Elder Scrolls Online will host a special Midyear Mayhem PvP event.

Players can earn unique rewards like the exclusive Midyear Victor’s Laurel Wreath hat, and earn double Alliance Points, PvP gear, and rare crafting items during the event. Loot and bonuses are available in all PvP modes: join hundreds of players in the massive campaigns of Cyrodiil, engage in close-quarters street fights in the Imperial City, and compete in the intense, 4v4v4 arena-style showdowns of the Battlegrounds in Morrowind.

Ready for action? This glorious new event featuring brand new rewards tailored for PvP players begins on July 20 at 10am EDT and ends on July 31st at 10am EDT.

To take part in the festivities and win honor on the field of battle, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to the Crown Store to acquire and activate a ticket entitled “Details on the Midyear Mayhem"
  2. Travel to your Alliance War faction's main gate in Cyrodiil using the Alliance War menu
  3. Find the quest giver “Predicant Maera" and pick up the quest “Midyear Mayhem"
  4. Complete the quest to receive your Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity and a Pelinal's Midyear Boon Box
  5. Activate the scroll to enjoy a two-hour, 100% bonus to Alliance Points earned in the following PvP game modes (Duels excluded):
    • Alliance War (Cyrodiil)
    • Imperial City (Imperial City DLC game pack is required)
    • Battlegrounds (ESO: Morrowind is required)

As you participate in PvP activities (excluding Duels) during the event, you can earn a new collectible hat: the Midyear Victor's Laurel Wreath. Wear this golden laurel proudly, and let it be known that you are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield!

To show off your prowess and style with this unique collectible, unlock the “Star-Made Knight" achievement by completing each of the seven unique Midyear Mayhem event achievements. Check your Journal for details!

Note that some achievements will require the Imperial City DLC game pack and the ESO: Morrowind Chapter to complete.

Bonus Alliance Points and a new hat are not the only rewards you can receive during this event. As you earn praise on the battlefield, you will also receive Pelinal's Midyear Boon Boxes along with your standard Rewards for the Worthy items. These special event reward boxes will contain Tel Var Stones and give you a chance to receive one of the following rewards:

  • Alchemy reagents
  • PvP consumables such as repair kits, forward camps, and siege weapons
  • Motif pages for your Alliance and Akaviri
  • Style items for your Alliance
  • Akaviri style items
  • Coldharbour siege weapons
  • Prismatic Runestones
  • Books of Pelinal housing items

There's still more! During the weekends of the event, the merchant Adhazabi Aba-daro (also known as “The Golden") will offer all of the Legendary-quality jewelry that can usually only be earned via the Alliance War! You can find Adhazabi in the Western Elsweyr Gate, Northern High Rock Gate, or Southern Morrowind Gate once you enter Cyrodiil.

In the first weekend of the event you can use Alliance points to purchase necklaces, and in the second, to purchase rings. During the event, Adhazabi Aba-daro will not accept gold as payment for these items, so put those additional Alliance Points to good use! 

Finally, from July 27th until July 31st, you can pick up the Midyear Mayhem Crowns bundle in the Crown Store. This bundle includes three Imperial crowns celebrating the Midyear Mayhem event: the Circlet, the Coronet, and the Diadem.

Whether you enjoy the large-scale sieges of the Alliance War, the more intimate street-fighting found in the Imperial City, or the fast-paced action of the Battlegrounds, the rewards for taking on your fellow players in PvP combat have never been greater. Will you earn glory on the battlefield?
