Smuggler Archive

After reading about the new BH Targets and their Drop rates i have a bad feeling.

Call me jealous, but as a Smuggler/Pistoleer i feel somehow reduced to a slicing dummy. Its hard to loot even a simple toolkit for me, and now BHs get high end slicing tools exclusivly from their missions.

Seems unfair to me.

might be a whinepost, but thats how it feels to me right now.

Just make friends with a non-smuggler BH. Yesterday me, Tee, and our non-smuggler brother Jiiro were all running missions and about every fifth one he'd stop us in Kadaara to give us 'all the crap that was completely useless' to him.

Actual chat line conversation yesterday:

BH - "Hey emon...I'll let you giveME 500K, if you slice my weapon. In return, I'll give you these3 extra ICBs I have"

Me - "Here is my offer list: 10K for each DTA, Fine Toolset, Micro Plating...50K for each ICB"

BH - "You are smoking crack!!! I got over 30 of those Illegals and I ain't selling for less than 500K each"

Me - "Good journeys to you..."

30 mins later....

BH - "Fine...I'll give you the ICBs for 200K each"

Me - "Here is my offer list: 10K for each DTA, Fine Toolset, Micro Plating....50K for each ICB"

BH - "OK...Deal"

BH - "I got some mandy thingies too. How much you pay for them?"

Me - "Nothing"

BH - "Why not?"

Me - "I got a house full of them"

BH - "Dam this new loot thing sucks!"

Me - "Yep..."

In the end, he sold me23 ICBs and gave me all his Intraframes.

Its the BHs that are getting upset right now. They love the fact they get this loot, but are ticked that every other BH (really, how many non-Jedi's are NOT BHs of some kind) gets them too. Now the market has flooded (in a matter of a couple days), and the tools are practically useless. I've even stopped purchasinganymore tools because all my 4 houses (and 1 Factory)are FULL of hi-ends (and I still got 80 crates of WUK/AUKs to convert). Oh well. The day of the 10K slice may soon again be upon us. WTG, SOE. Not only did you (yet again)thumb the smugglers by handing their tools over to BHs, you flooed the market making slicing even more common than before Pub19. And even managed to tick off BHs at the same time. Not bad for just one Publish.

But the grinding Jedi are happy.

The really funny thing is the BH when they get these loots are disapointed. You can get SEA or BH armor schematics from these kills too so getting a Slicing part to a non Smuggler BH is disapointing.

Regarding the SEAs,I can't be the only one that finds that Jedi attachments dropping from BH marks is strangely hilarious..
