Pages have a chance to drop from bosses in the Imperial City, but are also available from the Impresario for 5 each. The corresponding weapon styles are only available from the Crown Store by purchasing the limited time Ebonsteel Knight Arms Pack during this event.

You can find Breton Terrier Mammoth Bones inside of Pelinal's Midyear Boon Boxes. When you consume the ten bones, you will receive a runebox. The Alliance your fabricated pet is associated with is determined by the Alliance of the character that consumes the ten mammoth bones: Aldmeri Dominion players will receive a Runebox: Aldmeri Breton Terrier Pet with a Dominion Breton Terrier, Daggerfall Covenant players will receive a Runebox: Daggerfall Breton Terrier Pet for a Covenant Breton Terrier, and Ebonheart Pact players will receive a Runebox: Ebonheart Breton Terrier Pet with a Pact Breton Terrier inside. These pets are not like the Alliance War Mastiff; the costume for one Breton Terrier does not change if you set it as your active pet on a character from a different Alliance. On the contrary, these pets are exactly like the Alliance Standard-Bearer Emotes introduced in 2020. Alternatively, all three of these pets can be purchased separately from the Impresario for 5 each.

Crown Store OfferingsEdit
The following items are typically sold in the Crown Store around Midyear Mayhem:
NotesEdit
- In the past:
- Upon completing the opening event quest, Whitestrake's Mayhem (previously Midyear Mayhem), you used to receive the Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity, a reusable item which doubled Alliance Points gained for two hours. You could obtain a new scroll each time by completing the quest again, although if you lost the item mid-event you could purchase more from Predicant Maera. As of the February/March 2024 event, the Scroll of Pelinal's Ferocity was no longer needed to enjoy the 100% increase of Alliance Point, XP, and Tel Var Stone gains. These bonuses became shared passively to adventurers competing throughout Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds. The scroll could no longer be obtained, and existing scrolls served no purpose.
- Details on the Midyear Mayhem began the related quest, and could be found at Gladiator's Quarters throughout Tamriel.
