1. Level of slicingdoes not matter when determine the SUCCESS or FAIL of slicing. Only matters if Molecular Clamp is used or not during slice. Novice smuggler can slice conatiners with 100% success if MC is used and Master smuggler at 50% fails if he did not use it. Molecular clamp can be made by Slicer (slicing 4).

2. It is true that Slicer has 10-30% pure random slice (there is one exception though) on WEAPON. It is false that Master smuggler can reach 40%. He has additional 5% bonus. Higher % could be reached by the multiple slicing due to bug when several slicers were involved. I believe it was fixed with one of the patch before the New Year. About exception. I trully believe that slice can't improve weapon or armorstatistics higher thansome max. This gives explanation why very very rare slice could be less than min/max I posted - had only once 8%on armor with very high original statistics.

It is true though armor slicing is higher in average on about 5%.

4. According to my experience quality of Weapon upgrade kit and especially (100% that next statement is true)all smuggler made tools does not make any difference in result.Made my tools with 99% effectiveness and from the real crap metal with very low attributes. No difference at all.

The bonus 5%

I thought I would add my own tips to this.

The best way I have found to level has to be Torturs on Talus. I send in the pet to attack the lair.

Eat a Glazed Glucose, Drink a Fishak.

All of the MOB should be aggro on the pet, now pick one and spam flushing2 or startle2.

With my High DMG T21 I can clear a lair in 5-10 minutes for 20-30k xp + 6k credits.

I havent tried this on pikets or anything, but I dislike hunting on Dant as it is difficult to kite if you get in serious trouble. There is nothing worse than kiting into a super-pop-up group of reds.

Talus or Rori are safe, limited red cons, and usually lag free.
