Smuggler (pre-NGE)

Link to everything you ever need to know about smugglers



Also a link to the post that slicing is random.



Smuggler is perhaps the single greatest proffesion to RolePlay with in this game. Unfortunatly that's about all you'll do with it. In its current form smuggler is also one of the most broken proffesions in the game. It has never had a single update to it since the game came out except to fix an exploit. This has caused the smuggler community to become very jaded as the develpoment team has time after time stated that a revamp would be comming.

Slicing- Slicing allows a smuggler to increase the stats on a weapon's speed or damage and also increase the effectivness of decrease the encumberance of pieces of armor. As one progresses up the slicing tree the quality of slices will get better. At its max at Master the highest a smuggelr can get is a 35% on weapon speed or damage, a 35% on armor effectivness, and a 45% on armor encumberance. I would like to point out that these are the HIGHEST one can get. If someone gets a higher slice thier screen either lagged and told them something or they exploited. Also to quote our former smuggler correspondent Smuggler_Caylin

"NOTHING effects slicing! It is RANDOM. There are no hidden patterns nor changes to the system!"

The current average price for slicing anythng is 10k per item. remeber they are paying for your time, and slicing takes a long time when we can't auto pull from crates.

Underworld- Requires all pistol xp. This is mainly used to allow a smuggler to purchase faction from a recruiter. It also allows a smuggler to hear what a twilek says in lekuu. That's about it.

Dirty Fighting- This is all pistol xp. It is recomended to get the fan shot skill and some of the pistol speed tree from pistolieer as it goes much faster. Lowblow is a ranged knockdown, and Last Ditch is the most powerfull pistol special in the game.

Spice- This is pretty usless for anything but making Muon Gold and Neutron Pixie. Beacuse of downers it is not advised to use spice execpt for emergencies.

Master- Gives you the cool title of Master Smuggler which will make you a magnet for tells in every major starport int he game.
