Didn't take long at all. I alt+tabbed out of the game after each mission, and wrote down the stats in notepad. Then I just copy+pasted here on the forums.

Nice chart!


This raises a question I and a fellow guildie have been debating: Can the new BH appearance schematics or the resulting BH armor piece be converted to Mandalorian armor (or a mando schematic) in the DWB forges? I could swear I'd seen an affirmative answer to the question a while back when the new loot table went live, but I can't locate the thread. Conversely, my associate insists wecan only convertthe old looted bounty hunter armor pieces obtained from Black Sun NPCs and the like.


Anyone know the answer?

Mainly junk? A Smuggler wouldtake all that junk with pleasure. Instead, we usuallu have to buy then. On Radiant, the overall price would go easily as high as 1mill for all the lot...

I think Most BH know what the smuggler loot is worth. The problem is, that as a bounty hunter getting out of bed for 1 mil seems like too much effort. Ive got 111 smuggler loot items stored up at the moment, last night I got a tell, from a smuggler "do you sell smuggler loots?" I am probably looking at over 1 million credits, but it somehow seems a lot of effort to unpack my house combine my stacks and then meet someone somewhere for a mere 1 mil, I actually tried to get the guy to go to someone else for the stuff. Genereally I consider anything over 4 mil as worth the effort to sell. I know bh who are sitting on 20-30 CA's not bothering to sell them because they are notworth 10 mil + I myself have a fair stack of CA's \ aa's that simplydont seemworth my time to catalogue and sell. Im not gonna run to a vendor for 200k, I think as a BH I have grown somewhat fat and lazy., Maybe I should get my toon ID'd to show the effect this loot is having.


I say its not the BH's fault that this attitude is developing, its the insane amounts people are prepared to pay for our sea's, To be honest I think 30k a time mission payout would be a fair reward and make bh fairly wealthy, but lets face it when people are prepared to pay so much we'd be mugs NOT to take it. and whilst the credits are easy, well we will prioritise our time, do Ihawk this smuggler loot or get out there looking for the jedi ca? guess which wins.


If ever I need something slicing I tend to give the smuggler 10 ICB's for doing the job, I keep them around as smuggler currency. But cant be bothered to activelysell them for the credits they make.

You cannot use the BH appearance schematics, nor the resulting pieces, as a component for crafting Mandolorian armor. You can use the old looted BH armor, or newly looted BH armor, but that's it. The armor will specifically say something to the effect of, "this is used in the process of crafting Mandolorian armor".

Hope this helps.

Well, I'll try to give mypoint of viewabout this.


1. I've been playing SWG for more than nine months. I'm MS/MCHand I've never had more than 4 mill (usually much less).


2. I becameSmuggler not much time before "Slicing Revamp". At that moment I didn't read forumsalmost every day so I hadn't crates and crates of stored WUK and AUK ready for conversion into Smuggler tools (just 2 or3 crates of WUK I had bought acouple days before). Instead I had made my first run of 1k Molecular Clamps. The same that became useless after the "Revamp". So after all the thing I didn't have many slicing tools and I've been buying them since then.


3. If a BH wants to go seriously into the slicing tools market, he doesn't need to unpack houses and so. He only needs as many empty slots in inventory as types of tools he wants to trade with (they stack,after all).


4. Sometools (and only those) can get high prices in market. The prices for the other tools have been growing in an artificial way by speculators. This way things are getting much and much harder for people like me who doesn't have a lot of money and don't charge astronomical prices for the slices.


5. I'm not BH and I'm not willing to be one. Many Smugglers think like me and many others have become BH to get the tools in an easy, cheap and funnier way. That way they are sort of auto-sufficient. Apart from BH marks the tools drop from high lvl mobs that usually a Smuggler (not me at least) can't solo.


6. I have some BH clients who I don't charge for slicing because they give me for free the tools they loot. If 1 mill is not worth the work to sell those tools, why not giving them for free?


Well, this post is becoming too long. Possibly, Devs should fix this to let Smugglers get their tools in and easier (cheaper) way, but until this happens (if ever) we have to deal with BHs so I would ask them to make our life just a bit easier.

Go to Kadaara on Naboo sit down by the BH terms and send a tell to every bh you see asking them to sell you smuggler tools, name YOUR price dont let them make an offer if people ask me for a price they will always pay more than if they say will you sell me x for y amount.

Every time you see a novice BH send him a tell offering to buy tool kits and finely crafted too kits, trust me they destroy them thinking of them as junk! Get yourself a network of friends like that and you will have all the tools you can handle.


The best slicing tool in the game the shock absorbing padding drops from low level mobs, seeing the stacks Ive seen selling recently I believe some people are AFK'ing these Get out farm some low level faction mobs and sell faction at 150 cpu, and you will be rich in no time.

The thing is that I want to make things in game, not just stand next to terms or farming low lvls for faction. I don't play many hours a day and I don't want to spend most of my time doing nothing interesting.


In the other hand, for doing many of the interesting thingsI need armor and weapons that cost much money. Money I lack so it's a neverending story, lol.

Funny, I have done just that. Met a novice smuggler that was in my group, and let him have about 10 of each slicer item (plus about 15 pieces of banged up armor to practice on - he was a cool dude, too, which helped). I also use boosters as currency as well, so all my slices are free regardless. I mention this because I really don't see enough smugglers out there and it's hard for me to find someone to slice. I would rather encourage novice smugglers in their profession and provide them a means to improve their skills and enlarge the size of their bank account, than marvel at the stacks of slicer components sitting in my inventory (they do me no good sitting there).


I see smugglers as a BHs best friend. Show them the love, man. *group hug*

You can also type /note ingame and it brings up a window that creates a file called "notes.txt" in your SWG folder. No alt-tabbing needed.
