Just now, Spum said:

gamble rank? what happens if you've spent the 25m before update?

 

Simply type ::sellgambler to exchange your passes for coins.

I've updated the original topic to clarify this.

Great update. Think the gamble was needed. 

 

On another note, the cursed blade was already very low on accuracy.

Could you make an option for the hover skilling tool tip?

I don't want to look at the bizzare change in text color of yellow and magenta with the tool tip while thieving.

Can you make that a selectable /disable -able option please?

 

Thanks,
