This is the official discussion thread for the Test Your Mettle in the Midyear Mayhem PvP Event! blog article.

Prepare for battle! Celebrate the legendary hero Pelinal Whitestrake and his victory at the Bridge of Heldon by taking part in our first Midyear Mayhem PvP event and earning the Midyear Victor's Laurel Wreath collectible hat. It is said that those who wear the Midyear Laurel feel themselves infused with the holy rage of the spirit of Pelinal himself!

    here'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! 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!⁠⁠⁠⁠

    Does this include overland sets as well or merely the "rewards of the worthy" sets?

    Why there's a separate playerbase for pvp, pve and rp? I enjoy all kind of content :/

    You honestly think that PvPers are going to be bothered about what is commonly known as a free kill??? The only way RPers are really going to sully things for all the pvpers is by spamming rubbish emotes in the chat and complaining about how they can't manage to survive more than 0.47 seconds in a fight.
    "Prithee kind sir, whyeth can i not maketh my survival on par with the Immortal ravenous sea beast of Khenarthi's Roost?? Thank thee kindly for thy responsetheth"

    RPers come even lower in the Cyro pecking order than questers who, i may add, are the sort of people who are proud of themselves for making it to the rank of Corporal from questing for 2 months in Cropsford

    The Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity is an item that goes into your inventory, so it does take up space with your other items. It is not consumed on use, and can be reused as much and as often as you like, anywhere you like (including Imperial City, Cyrodiil, and Battlegrounds), during the event.

    Jaeysa wrote: »

    The Books of Pelinal are furniture items you can place in your home called "Song of Pelinal." You can also read them!

    Adhazabi Aba-daro will only offer the Rewards for the Worthy item sets, and no others. We wanted to keep her stock thematically appropriate to the event, which is a PvP-centric one.

    XD While I don't know anyone in ESO who would do this, I do know a few from other games, and that is depressingly accurate.

    Look - it took me a lot of dailies to make that rank, thank you very much! Give me a couple more months and I'll even make Sergeant!

    Yeah, I was hoping they could sneak in that little part of 15 now... sure would be handy to gather up all my alts AP for Ms. Aba-daro.

    Ap as currency is great, actually. But with overland sets we have no way to get gold jewelry unless in adhazabi aba-daro!

    You must land the killing blow for it to count toward the achievement, similarly to Imperial City and Battleground achievements.

    The PvP Leaderboards will show the AP each player earns, so during the event it will reflect the double AP amounts.
