Master Smugglers are without a doubt, the best slicers. Increasing the possible range for the better in every way over someone with only Slicing 4.

Hi Guys, I'm a weaponsmith on Gorath and I want to pick up smuggler so that I can slice my weapons and then sell them on my vendor(people just dont want to take a risk on unsliced weapons anymore). When I look at the smuggler profession, after slicing 4 the smuggler gets no more visible benifits to slicing. I've also been told that a box 4 slicer can slice things just as good as a master smuggler. I am just curious if this information is correct or if there is indeed a benifit to being a master smuggler when it comes to slicing?

A Master Smuggler has a better chance of getting better slices than a Slicer (slicing 4). The Master box doesn't show any modifiers, but they are there. Only from a master can you get 35% slices. Not sure where Slicers cap out but my best to date is 28%. (I'm not a Master Smuggler, yet)

Thanks a bunch guys, guess Im going to have to waste alot of skillpoints to get good slices

Did you happen to have those on weapons????

Because it can be reached on armor encumbrance (range from 20 to 45%) but nothing else that i have heard of, or seen by myself.

Not for weapons. 45 is the top for encumberance slices on armor. Effectiveness on armor is capped at 35 and all weapons slices are at 35

With all do respect to the original poster (as a Weaponsmith i understand why you want slicing skills) What happened to the days of meeting a smuggler in a dark ally making a deal and getting a weapon sliced? It bums me out when I see full vendors of illegal/sliced weapons for sale on the open market. By flooding a server with pre-sliced weapons we put another nail in the coffin of our profession.

/agree

While I do slice large orders for a weaponsmith friend and I do like the income that it provides me. I would like to see sliced weapons and spices not allowed on the vendor/bazaar. Or have inspectors that patrol the vendors and conficate/fine the merchant for selling the illicit goods.

I would also like to see more contraban scanning for sliced weapons, armor and spices with confiscation and fines as penalties.

And I would like an ability to choose the stat I slice and some control over how it comes out. And better results. To balance the risk vs reward.

This all just adds to the legitimacy of the smuggler profession.

But I am not holding my breath for any of this to happen anytime soon.
