Just found this Skin in the Wardrobe... Which event gave it? --84.56.109.117 13:08, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

None, so far. This has (apparently) been in the game for a while, so we might see it in the future, but for now it remains a mystery. --Ventriloquist (talk) 19:13, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Ventriloquist. Looking at your edit comments and your question here. I don't know when this has been added to the game. but looking at the creation of this page it is confirmed as april 2014 (feature update) it is NOT datamined, but can be found in the wardrobe under stafs. Afaik there is currently no way of obtaining this skin. I have some doubts it is a consumable (if it is that info is prolly datamined) and I think it will be for unreleased future content. For the time being I would recommend keeping the page as it is. The skin is in the wardrobe and people might be looking for info bout it.195.240.63.18 13:21, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Wardrobe site argos-soft.net lists a bunch of 'unused items.' Among them is a "PvP Destroyer Scythe". If you recall the April 15 update, there were two other pertinent changes made along with adding the wardrobe: increasing everyone's PvP rank (many breaking into the top tier for the very first time), and removing the Mystic Forge from PvP. What I think happened was that the Destroyer Scythe was a top tier PvP reward that never got awarded, and with the new system of regional/dungeon PvP tracks, it never will be.

Temper that with the knowledge that with the new collection feature in the upcoming September update, this Scythe might resurface as a new kind of reward. SarielV 20 x 20px 21:58, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
I can definitely see this being a staff skin for collecting all Destroyer weapons. My inner collector is exited! --Ventriloquist 22:00, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
You definitely nailed this one V. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 18:57, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
Maybe for the first time ever. When I make a prediction, you are generally pretty safe betting against me XD I doubled down by buying several stacks of cores around the time I wrote that, and the payoff has been a year and a half in the coming. SarielV 20 x 20px 20:18, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Historical vs. Current[edit]

I decided to make this page a current one. That way, it can be properly catagorized with the rest of the skins that are in the wardrobe; it is in there as much as any of the other existing skins. Since I've identified the item that would have had this, I have marked THAT PAGE as historical. SarielV 20 x 20px 21:10, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

It is possible that this weapon is akin to Reaper of Souls. Not all forge recipes have been discovered. Konig 22:08, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
I have good reason to suspect otherwise; now that RoS has been found, we're down to a handful of tonics (unless more have been added, like Eternal Sands). But until I do some definitive research to back it up, there's little point for me to say either way. SarielV 20 x 20px 08:31, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
Eventually confirmed by Chris Cleary that this didn't make it into the game. However, they have recently added it as a collection reward. SarielV 20 x 20px 16:59, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
