I posted this on my guild's web site but felt it would be usefull here as well..maybe our illustrious corespondent can sticky this or add it to the smuggler FAQ.



Since publish 19 slicing has changed dramaticaly. Gone are the days of random enhancements and random effects. No more cutting wires. No more crap shoot!!



I shall attempt to explain how it all works.


first off.....as a smuggler tweaks your item the higher up its custom score goes,


now on to the stats...there are 3 categories to pick and choose from on weapons and 4 on armor..you can pick and choose a vareity so long as the total customization level does NOT go over 100% and on some items lower than 100% ..not sure why that is. Inside those categories there are 3 to 4 tiers of improvement depending on wich one you want to do, each tier requires the one before it, before it can be aplied. Also some enhancements require a looted component to be preformed. Below is a listing of each.



WEAPONS --Part needed | stat bump% | (custom%)


Increase speed
1)Rebuild wepon body--no parts 2% (20%)


2) Reduce barrel weight--simple tool kit 4% (25%)


3)Streamline load mechanisim--finely crafted tool kit 7% (25%)


4)Rebuild flash charger--Delicate trigger assembly 12% (30%)



Enhance damage
1) Replace stock capacitor--no part 2% (20%)


2) Overcharge energy core--simple tool kit 4% (20%)


3) Embed experimantal core booster-- Illegal core booster 8% (20%)


Increase critical strike chance
1)mount improved range finder--simple tool kit 3% (20%)


2)Notch and file grip--finely crafted tool kit 5% (40%)


3) Install feather touch trigger assembly--delicate trigger ass. 10% (40%)


Its worth noteing here that while the custom % is cumulative the stat boost % dose not appear to be, (i have not yet done the math just reporting what i see in the window) for instance the weapon's description would tell you what stats have been enhanced and the custom level , so if you had an EE3 carbine and all 3 tiers of damage were donr to it it would show a damage bonus of +8% and a custom level of 60%


now some of the armor categories may need some explaination.


Enhance Resilliance = a delay to the item's decay effects


Improve impact deflection = a chance to reduce damage to the armor by 50%


Add Hardening = a chance to reduce damage taken to the PLAYER by 50%


Armor break reduction = reduces the effect of opponents armor break skill




ARMOR --part needed | stat boost % | custom %


Enhance resiliance
1)Strengthen jointing--no part 10% (25%)


2) Install custom seals--simple tool kit 20% (25%)


3)Install wear resitant under layer--shock absorbant padding 30%(25%)


Improve impact deflection
1)Add reflective coating--no part 20% (25%)


2) Re-work deflective plating--finely crafted tool kit 40% (25%)


3) Install reactive motivators--powered motivators 60% (25%)


Add Hardening
1) Install basic Intra frame--no part 1% (15%)


2) Install trandoshan intraframe--Trandoshan intraframe 2% (35%)


3)Install mandalorian intraframe--madalorian intraframe 3% (50%)


Armor break reduction
1) Install padding in vital areas--no part 25% (20%)


2) Install plating in vital areas--shock absorbant padding 50% (20%)


3) Install reactive plating in vital areas--reactive micro plating 75% (20%)



Again near as i can tell at this time the custom numbers are acumulative and the boosts are not, at least not in what the item shows in the examine window.

Don't be fooled by the text in the slicing boxes about breakage, either. Just another example of poor QA that it didn't get removed.
