- Find the NPC named “Predicant Maera" and continue the quest
- If you already completed the quest last year, you won't need to do it again
- Complete the quest to receive your Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity and a Pelinal's Midyear Boon Box
- Use the scroll to enjoy a two-hour, 100% buff in the Alliance War, Imperial City, and Battlegrounds to:
- Alliance Points gained
- XP gains for PvP player kills
The Basin of the Gore Virtuous
You can use the Scroll of Pelinal’s Ferocity throughout the entirety of the event, but if you misplace it, you can always get another from Predicant Maera or use the nearby Basin of the Gore Virtuous instead.
Honor, Glory, and Loot!
This event, you can earn a broad selection of unique collectibles and Achievements.
NEW Alliance Banner-Bearer Staves and Shield Outfit Style Pages
Represent your Alliance with these new tradeable stave and shield outfit style pages, made by collecting 10 Alliance Banner Emblems from Midyear Mayhem Boon Boxes and then combining them with the associated license (one for the shield and one for the staff) purchased from Predicant Maera for Alliance Points.
