Are there any drawbacks to getting a weapon sliced? You would think that the slicing process might hurt it a little.

Weapons that are sliced decay a little bit faster.

That's not correct. A weapon can be repaired after it has been sliced. However, the weapon will decay at a faster rate. Also a failed slice does not harm the weapon, but it can never be sliced again.

off random trash mobs, meatlumps, thugs ect ect..


your best bet is to shout that you will pay to open containers for people, use clamps and guarentee success


or buy the containers outright from people.

Please read the FAQ stickied near the Top of this forum. It contains some info you REALLY NEED to know to do successful slicing.


To answer your question this time....


You can NOT make a Weapon Upgrade Kit (WUK) nor an Armor Upgrade Kit (AUK). You will HAVE to buy them. Crates of 25 range from 3K to 5K typically.


In order to slice a Weapon or a piece of Armor successfully, you will need the following:
1 molecular clamp
1precision slicing knife with at least 2 charges left on it
1 WUK or AUK


You can make the moleclamps: 50 metal + 40 non-ferrous metal
You can make the knives: 16 metal

Dessimus,


Like Way'ev-Da said, read the FAQ, we're not tryin to be jerks its just that there is a LOT of good info in it. Having said that one other thing you may want to try on WUK's & AUK's, especially if you are in a guild or have weaponsmith or armorsmith friends, is to get the resources yourself and ask them to make schematics for you. If they are friends and/or guild mates they are usually more than happy to help. This way you can run them out in an equipment factory yourself. I usually try to run harvs for the needed resources for a cpl of weeks when I see my crates of AUK's or WUK's running low. That way I can usually run out several dozen crates and keepa stockpile before I run out. On a related note, its a good idea to go ahead & buy your own equipment factory(knives & clamps, auks & wuks), and your own food & chem factory ( for spices)if you intend to keep Smuggler. They will more than pay for themselves in the long run. If you're feeling real industrious later on a fusion gen wont hurt formaking muon, to power your factories, and sell off any extra energy. Just a few tips from cousin Jimmy.




To Do List:
[ X ] Master Smuggler profession
[ X ] Buy JTL so I can have a personal spaceship to Smuggle goods
[ ] Wait until Smuggler Revamp to be able to actually Smuggle well, ANYTHING.
Well, SOE? I've done MY part.

Charge what you want. Some people will get mad, others will pay you without asking questions.

Like Tonteth said, it's up to you, however there are suggestions not to be too cheep as in the "all about the money" thread. I myself charge 5k for the slice, with additional 2.5-5k for exceptional results.

Will getting master smuggler help me achieve better slicing percentage? Or is it the same when you have slicing IV? Also, is it true that the more you slice after you get slice IV the better you get, or is everything random all the time?
