Enjoy new rewards, alliance points, XP gains and participate in various PVP activities during the ESO Whitestrake's Mayhem event in 2026 (Midyear Mayhem 2026).
As this is a PvP focused event, you might want to create a PvP build for your character to have the best possible experience during the event. You can find community created PvP builds for every class on the PvP builds overview page.
