In order to obtain the new spy weapon, the Tenebrous Edge, you must activate and use your steal ability. Every time you steal something, there will be a chance of advancing the collection.

It is important to note that the weapon will come in complete form, but can be deconstructed and re-crafted by a weapon smith in order to get the best possible stats for the item.

The stats you obtain after deconstruction totally depend on the weapon smith you are using, so make sure to find a good one!

ohh - Beastmaster Spies get a bonus :)

Downside -the new group buffs that stack seem to be for melee weapons only (hence the new collection). No more standing at a safe distance :(

when is this update coming out?!?
