Crown Store Showcase—August 2024

Anniversary Spotlight—Claim Red-Hot Rewards Within the Portals of Oblivion


A fiery host of rewards (voted for by you, the community) await those willing to clash with the minions of Mehrunes Dagon during the Portals of Oblivion Anniversary Spotlight.

August’s Red-Hot Rewards


Our 10-Year Anniversary spotlights continue with the Portals of Oblivion, challenging you to invade Mehrunes Dagon’s realm of destruction. Starting August 5 at 10AM EDT and running until September 3 at 10AM EDT, if you have unlocked either the Blackwood Portal Punisher or Deadlands Portal Punisher achievement, you can claim the Flame Atronach Pony Guar pet for free from the in-game Crown Store.

The Flame Atronach Pony Guar pet

To unlock either one of these achievements, you must enter 10 Oblivion Portals in the zone and destroy the antecedent catalyst devices within. Once you have earned either the Blackwood or Deadlands Portal Punisher achievement, you can claim the free pet from the Crown Store.

Even better, unlock the Oblivion Obliterator achievement by defeating all the bosses found within Oblivion Portals and you can also claim the new Firebelly Shalk pet from the Crown Store as a bonus reward.

The new Firebelly Shalk pet

Be warned, the minions of Mehrunes Dagon are some of the most dangerous in Oblivion, and you may wish to recruit your strongest allies for this venture—good luck!

Devilish Daily Rewards


In addition to the pets you can earn via the portal achievements, the Flame Atronach Senche-Jaguar pet has also been added to Augusts Daily Login Rewards. Simply log in twice during the month of August to claim it!

Flame Atronach Senche-Jaguar—Day 2

Be careful when cuddling this fiery fellow!

When asked about flame atronachs, many may think of destruction and ruin, while some may even bring up Mehrunes Dagon’s realm of the Deadlands. But never fear—this fiery beast can become a fierce partner in your adventures. You can claim the Flame Atronach Senche-Jaguar by logging in twice this month, which features other surprises from Dagon’s Oblivion realm.

Let your beauty bloom

You’ll love how you look with this gorgeous face marking. Unlock the Rose of Tamriel face marking after seven days of logins this month.


Luminous Ink—Days 10-13

Voluminous amounts of Luminous Ink

Luminous Ink is a key resource for the Gold Road Chapter’s Scribing system. Whether you want it for your own Scribing efforts or to trade to other players, you receive three Luminous Ink each day when you log in on days 10-13, potentially earning 12 Luminous Ink in total.




Body Marking: Rose of Tamriel—Day 14

Turn heads with this body tattoo

Be the center of attention with these stunning body markings. Are they devotions to Dibella, a statement of self-love and fulfillment, or just too striking not to wear? You tell us—and be sure to claim them on your fourteenth login this month!


These and more rewards await while logging in this month. To see the full list, venture into the game on August 1 (and claim the first one while you’re there). Are you eager to claim August 2024’s in-game Daily Login Rewards? Don’t forget, August continues the 10-Year Anniversary Celebration fun with an all-new spotlight, too.

Defeat Your Rivals & Earn Bonus Rewards During the Whitestrake’s Mayhem Event!


Go toe-to-toe with your fellow players across Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds all while collecting exciting in-game rewards during the Whitestrake’s Mayhem PvP event!

Mayhem Is On the Rise


The Whitestrake’s Mayhem event makes its grand return to Tamriel next Thursday, July 25 at 10AM EDT, and runs until August 6 at 10AM EDT. Throughout the event, you will benefit from a 100% bonus to Alliance Point, XP, and Tel Var Stone gain. In addition, you can earn unique goodies by participating in ESO’s PvP game modes.

Ready to clash against other adventurers on the battlefield? Simply follow the steps below:
  1. Head over to the in-game Crown Store and receive 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
    1. You do not need to travel to Cyrodiil to start the event
  3. Locate the NPC named “Predicant Maera" and continue the quest
    1. Note that if you’ve previously completed the quest, you won't need to do it again
  4. Complete the quest to receive a complimentary Pelinal’s Boon Box

One key difference from previous years’ events is that you no longer need to obtain or use the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity to benefit from the 100% buff to Alliance Point, XP, and Tel Var Stone gains. These bonuses are now shared passively to adventurers skirmishing throughout Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds. As a result, there is no longer a method to pick up the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity anywhere in-game, and those who already own the item will now notice it no longer offers any functionality.

Battle for Bonus Rewards


While participating in the Whitestrake’s Mayhem in-game event, you can amass a collection of bonus in-game goodies for your heroic efforts.

NEW—Ayleid Lich Outfit Style Armor

Dominate both the living and the dead while donning the Ayleid Lich Armor, dropped in Pelinal’s Boon Boxes.

Pelinal’s Boon Boxes

You can earn Pelinal’s Boon Boxes as rewards from the following activities throughout the event:
  • Battlegrounds quests from Battlemaster Rivyn
  • Scouting, Battle, Warfront, and Conquest Missions
  • Elder Scroll capture and recapture quests
  • Town quests in Vlastarus, Bruma, Cropsford, Cheydinhal, and Chorrol
  • Imperial City daily quests

Whenever you open a Pelinal’s Boon Box, you have the chance to receive the following items:
  • Parcel of Tel Var Stones
  • Cyrodiil repair kit
  • Soul Gems
  • ONE of the following:
    • Alchemy Ingredients
    • Style item for your Alliance's armor style
    • Style item for Akaviri armor style
    • Daedric siege weapon
    • Whitestrake's Mayhem book furnishing
    • Forward Camp for your Alliance
    • Chapter of your Alliance's armor motif
      • There is a small chance that the full book may drop instead of a single chapter
    • Prismatic Runestone
    • Chapter for the Akaviri armor motif
      • There is a small chance that the full book may drop instead of a single chapter
    • Small chance to receive one or two fragments of the Alliance Breton Terrier pet
  • Small chance to receive a Transmute Geode
  • Very small chance to receive an unbound, tradeable Ayleid Lich Armor Style Page
    • A Dovah's Du'ul Style Page may drop instead if you’ve already earned the Ayleid Lich Armor Style Page

The Ayleid Lich Armor Style

Bonus Resources & The Golden

Are you a crafter? Keep a keen eye out as you travel from battle to battle as harvesting nodes in Cryodiil will yield additional resources throughout the event.

Additionally, the merchant Adhazabi “The Golden” Aba-daro will offer various CP160 jewelry from Cyrodiil item sets. Legendary necklaces will be available during the first weekend of Whitestrake’s Mayhem and legendary rings from the same sets will be offered during the second.

Throughout the celebration, The Golden will not offer Monster Masks and all purchases in her shop will require Alliance Points. Contrary to her title, she will not accept gold.

The Impresario & Event Tickets


During Whitestrake’s Mayhem, up to three Event Tickets can be earned each day by completing the following activities:
  • Two Event Tickets from the first Cyrodiil or Battlegrounds daily quest
    • This includes Bounty Board quests, a Town Daily, the Conquest Board quests, or the daily Battlegrounds quest
  • One Event Ticket from an Imperial City District daily quest

You can obtain a total of 39 Event Tickets by the event’s end. Remember: you can only hold up to 12 Event Tickets at one time. Be sure to stop by the Impresario’s market now and again to clear the way to collect more Tickets!

    • Effigy of the Dominator
