You will slice succesfully if you go into the deepest part of the forest, and bring me..... A HERRING!

<dramatic chord>

The forest, incidentally, is all those posts at the top of the page.

Master smugglers have better chances at the good slices. Read the FAQ.

Well.... technically a master smuggler has a higher percentage range available, not a higher chance at a good slice. The end result is: higher average numbers for slices by a Master Smuggler.

Yes, there are stickies that you can read for free that will give you this and other interesting bits of information.

There is a very interesting thread on the Smuggler page...it has 22 pages. It concerns the new slicing rules. I went through and copied everything GreenMarine, the guy who handles Smugglers, said. The paragraph breaks represent succeeding posts. I apologize for my lack of skill in manipulating these message boards. Anyone know what TKs would need for a great slice on Katarns?

Here it is:

Weapon & Armor breakage has been removed.

Removed for three reasons: 1) It was difficult to understand the breakage system. 2) It happened too often. Although it could be slowed, 3) it just wasn't fun anyway.

I've adjusted weapon slice bonuses and costs across the board.

Adding a crit chance should now be more of a worthwhile gamble. Certain combinations of slices are no longer patently better than others. Different types of slices should be more competitive. However, the numbers are still subject to change.

Some slices will now require components to apply.

Slices are unlimited item upgrades. I don't believe they should be free. The breakage system was too harsh a penalty. Instead, I'm enabling plan B. There are 9 components used by the current set of slices. Components cover a range in rarity and the difficulty of location in which they drop. For example, rebuilding the firing pin (level 4 fire rate) or applying a feather trigger pull (level 3 crit chance) now requires a Delicate Trigger Assembly, which drops in Death Watch Bunker and Avatar Platform. We may have to tweak the drop rate a few times to get it right.

This stuff should go to Test Center in a day or two.

> Will these additional components also include the current range of Smuggler tools? (Say for Level 1 and 2 slices)

No. Level 1 slices generally don't require a component. Level 2 slices require components that are common. Difficulty of obtaining the component increases with the slice level.

> Does that mean they will "tweak" DWB in order to make it survivable?

I'll see about adding the drops to more locations to avoid a conflict with a too-hard DWB.

I would rather start with the components being hard to get and loosen it up to make it easier, then have them be too common and have to nerf them. If this goes out and they are too rare and it sucks, we'll loosen it up.

If I make Crit Chance 3 give you 10% chance to crit, that's _nice_. You should have to work to get that. You should feel you've earned it.

Smugglers: You don't have to farm these components to slice. Charge more if you do, but charge less if the person you're slicing for supplies the component.

> If this goes through I'd really like to see random spawns dropping the stuff, heck, maybe you can pull the stuff off a Gorax or something.

I would also like to seed these items out that way, although I don't know how a delicate trigger assembly would survive a week inside a Gorax or Krayt stomach.

Don't trash your upgrade kits. We're going to see about adding a salvage option to them that turns them into one of the new components, randomly. (With the higher level ones being rare, etc). Also, the high end components can now be found on Krayts, etc
