Online:Events

This page lists all limited-time events which have taken place in The Elder Scrolls Online. Events can be special occasions that only occur once, or can be recurring every year. Recurring events include:

• Anniversary Jubilee
• New Life Festival
• Jester's Festival
• Whitestrake's Mayhem
• Witches Festival
• Undaunted Celebration
• DLC anniversary celebrations: held around the anniversary of the release of one or more Zone DLCs, such as the Imperial City Celebration, Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Celebration and Orsinium Celebration. These typically involve additional rewards for playing DLC content, including double drops from certain quests, bosses and resource nodes.
• New DLC celebrations: held some time after the release of a new chapter or DLC, such as Summerfall for the Summerset chapter, Dragon Rise for the Elsweyr chapter, and Dawn of the Dragonguard involving the Elsweyr chapter along with the Scalebreaker and Dragonhold DLCs. These sometimes give additional rewards for playing DLC content, often with added rewards based off the number of players participating in the event that are distributed to all participants once the event has concluded.

The Crown Store usually has special offers coinciding with these events, such as discounts on relevant DLCs and cosmetics, and can include the temporary return of limited availability items such as DLC Collector's Editions, Player Houses and Crown Crates. Sometimes the Crown Store also has additional sales corresponding to various real-world cultural events not otherwise celebrated in-game, such as Valentine's Day ("Heart's Day"), St Patrick's Day, Friday the 13th ("Fatal Fredas/Serpent 13"), a combined dye sale for Canada Day, US Independence Day & Bastille Day, and the annual Black Friday ("Black Fredas") sale.

Since late 2018, most game events have also provided Event Tickets to participants, used to purchase special items from the Impresario.

Four of the recurring events also have their own Achievements, some of which unlock special furnishings for purchase.

Current Event

Whitestrake's Mayhem 2022 (Summer)

28 July — 9 August 2022

Whitestrake's Mayhem returns to Cyrodiil and the Imperial City! Complete your introduction with Predicant Maera (or do it again this year if you want!) to receive your Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity.

• Pelinal’s Boon Boxes are rewarded for completing daily quests in Cyrodiil or Imperial City district daily quests, or as a bonus reward with Rewards for the Worthy mails you receive.
  • These boxes contain a variety of goodies ranging from Tel-Var stones to Cyrodiil repair kits or soul gems, as well as a chance for Cyrodiil style pages, Daedric siege weapons, transmute geodes.
  • There is also a very rare chance to receive a bag containing runeboxes for both of the new Battle-Scarred face and body markings. The bag is not tradeable, but the individual runeboxes are once taken out of the bag.

• You can earn a total of 3 Event Tickets per day during this event.
  • The first 2 come from completing any daily quest that focuses on Cyrodiil or Battlegrounds. You may earn an additional ticket by completing an Imperial City District daily quest. Visit both places if you want to maximize your ticket earnings!

• In addition to the rewards from previous Mayhems, this year’s new outfit style is the House Dufort Banneret Armor.
  • Style pages for this armor have a chance to drop from bosses in the Imperial City but are also available from the Impresario for 5 tickets each.
  • Bosses in the Imperial City also have a small chance to drop an additional page for last Mayhem's Black Drake Clanwrap armor style.
• The helpful Reachman, Cullearn, remains at the Impresario's tent to model the Battle-Scarred face and body markings.
• The Impresario will have bound style pages for the House Dufort Banneret Armor for 5 tickets each, as well as the face and body markings (sold separately) for 5 tickets each. Also available will be all three fragments of the Soulfire Dragon Illusion Pet as well as the first fragment of the Daggerfall Paladin costume.

Future Events

Future Events (Hidden for Spoilers) 

Undaunted Celebration 2022

Early September 2022

The Undaunted want you to put your life and your dignity on the line for bragging rights once again! During the Undaunted Celebration, conquer challenging dungeons for bonus rewards.

• The first final dungeon boss you defeat in a day will drop two Event Tickets and a special Glorious Undaunted Reward Box.
  • This box contains an assortment of valuable goods, Motif pages, and a guaranteed chance for one of the new style pages for this event’s Opal weapons, which feature a return of previous Undaunted Celebration Opal gear from Ilambris, Troll King, Bloodspawn, Engine Guardian, and Chokethorn.
• This year’s new Opal style is themed around Velidreth from Cradle of Shadows.
  • Defeating those bosses on the Veteran Hard Mode of those dungeons has a chance to drop the Opal shoulder style page for those bosses as well!
• Subsequent dungeons you complete will continue to award slightly-less-valuable Undaunted Reward Boxes, which still have a chance to drop those weapon style pages.
• The big change this year is that Undaunted Reward Boxes are named based on where you got the box drop from. While all boxes have a chance to drop the Opal pages accordingly, each box also drops a bonus set piece from an item set that can drop in the respective dungeon.
  • For example, if you run Fungal Grotto for your boxes and tickets, you’ll only get extra Fungal Grotto gear. Get in those other dungeons if you want other item set pieces!
• The Impresario offers style pages for this year’s Velidreth Opal equipment for 5 tickets each, as well as the first two fragments for the Daggerfall Paladin costume morph for 10 tickets each.

Heroes of High Isle

Late September 2022

Return to High Isle for chivalric adventures!

• Society of the Steadfast reward coffers come from High Isle daily quests or from exploring the zone and its dangerous locations.
  • These coffers can contain valuable materials, style items, zone set items, furnishings, or Companion gear if you have Ember or Isobel active when they are opened.
  • Any Society of the Steadfast reward coffer has a chance to drop a tradeable style page of the new Oaken Order armor style.
• The first High Isle daily quest or Dreadsail Reef trial weekly quest you complete per account, per day awards you 2 Event Tickets and a gold-quality reward coffer with a better chance of higher quality rewards.
• High Isle daily quests have their normal reward boxes doubled and harvest nodes in High Isle have an improved yield.
• High Isle world and delve bosses, along with any boss in the Dreadsail Reef trial, drop additional loot.
• The Impresario has bound versions of the Oaken Order armor style pages for 5 tickets each, in addition to all three fragments of the Daggerfall Paladin morphing collectible outfit for 10 tickets each.
