Seize the spoils of victory when you dominate your fellow players in ESO’s various PvP game modes during Whitestrake’s Mayhem!

Warriors, prepare to take up arms! Whitestrake’s Mayhem returns to Tamriel this Wednesday, January 21 at 10AM EST, and will run until February 4 at 10AM EST. During this in-game event, all players can enjoy a 100% boost to Alliance Point, XP, and Tel Var Stone gains, as well as some additional goodies when competing throughout Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds.

Are you prepared to draw swords (or bows, staves, etc.) against your fellow players? Follow the steps below:

1. Open the in-game Crown Store and pick up the “Details on the Whitestrake’s Mayhem" quest
2. Head over 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

• Locate the NPC “Predicant Maera" to continue the quest
• Please note that if you’ve already completed this quest during a previous event, you won't need to do it again
• Complete the quest to receive a complimentary Pelinal’s Boon Box
Keep in mind that the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity is no longer needed to enjoy the increased gains to Alliance Points, XP, and Tel Var Stones. These buffs are now passively shared with players logged in during Whitestrake’s Mayhem. [esosslfiles-a.akamaihd.net] Show Predicant Maera what you're made of

Test new player experience improvements, a refreshed class and weapon type, and the first Season coming to ESO, all now available on the Public Test Server.

The Public Test Server (PTS) has been updated to include many features coming with Update 49 and through Season Zero: Dawn and Dusk[www.elderscrollsonline.com], and you can access it via the PC/Mac ESO launcher. You can test the refreshed Dragonknight class[www.elderscrollsonline.com] and Two Handed weapon skill lines, a selection of offerings from the Gold Coast Bazaar, many quality-of-life and player-experience[www.elderscrollsonline.com] changes, and more!

Please note that neither the new Tamriel Tomes[www.elderscrollsonline.com] system nor the Night Market zone are available to test yet. You can expect the Night Market to arrive on PTS during the next testing update, and a sample Tome to test the week after. This PTS Tome contains simplified offerings for the purpose of ensuring the Tome system functions as intended. The full Season Zero: Dawn and Dusk Tamriel Tome arrives with the Season’s launch.

To access the PTS environment, go to the Settings menu within the PC/Mac ESO launcher by toggling the “Show Public Test Environment” option. You can then download and access the test environment. Don’t forget to leave feedback and report any bugs you come across by typing “/feedback” or “/bug” in chat.
