Since Im not much of a loot hound, Im shying away form advertising slicing right now but since a basic slice really costs me nothing but time, I do a basic slice for 5k.

Yeah, you may 'pwn' at PVP. Dont let it go to your head. It ain't real. you probably had a lot of milk money beaten out of you in the past.

It took me 2.5 hours and 3 deaths to loot 3 components from krayts last night. (Sucks having to re-learn how to fight because of changes to our specials). And those 3 components aren't enough to put a good slice on anything.


So you can bet yer patootie my slicing ain't going cheap.

Well, if you guys didn't notice, if you have WuK's, you can salvage them into slicing tools. usually though, it does take alot of wuks to get the pieces you wants, and i find that Auks seem to salvage better for me.



As for a price, i did one for free lastnight because i just had to test out the new system, i can say that this new system Blows Hard!


the max slice for damage is 14%??????????



Come on Devs, like you haven't nerfed our professions nearly enough, just keep hitting us with the nerf bat, please!

You are right I went out and didn't loot anything. my price just jumped to 5 mil. The compoents will be selling on the T Forums for millions. We are better off just selling what ever we loot. And forget about roleplaying the lone wolf smuggler. You will absolutely have to group to get the components.


I just upped it to 6 Mil

Well,, i was afraid this would happen. I now only sell fp's and spice. No more slicing for me mister. As master smuggler/master pistoleer and artisan 0-0-3-0 and scout 1-0-1-3 i can never solo again. Even two lvl 60 reb's where to much. Whenever i find slice tools i sell m to the highest bidder

i was thinking 5k-10k for a basic slice with no components, and i'm not touching stuff with components until all the hype settles

I did some searching on the bazaar and found people were selling the components for about 50K to 100K. Now this means for armor your looking at 100K to 200K per armor piece just for the components, which sets the base cost of slicing an entire armor set (assuming 9 pieces) to be 900K to 1.8 million cost, adding a little some some for the smuggler and you're easily looking at 1 million to 2 million to slice a set of armor.

I can't believe any one is going to go for this.

I can't imagine what they were thinking when they implemented this system. Go back to making our resources craftable! If it HAS to be a loot system, why not make it where the loot drops of random NPCs, not high end, impossible creatures. No one is going to pay for your efforts. Or make the drop a schematic, so you can at least make 1000 items in a factory run and you have to go get another schematic. Slicing is a consumable profession. I don't see a doctor having to loot heal packs from Necrosis?!?!


I often wonder lately, do the developers actually PLAY this game?

the best bet will be people loot the stuff themselved and bring it to the smuggler.


AUKS and WUKS would be great EXCEPT ANYTHING IN A CRATE CAN"T BE SALVAGED!! GEE THAT WOULD BE TO MUCH TO ASK HUH??


I normally was getting tipped 5k per weapon i was slicing... so for now for the 2% slice I can do without a tool I prolly will charge like 2k or 3k. 1k per % i think is good.


So then if a person brings me a kit, i want to get paid for the % that kit will slice it. So if it's 4% i would get 4k. The higher kits do 12% so then 12K.


If I found the kit? Hehe.... I dunno.. 20k or somethin maybe 40k for the rare ones? I prolly will save those for myself

I messed around with armor slicing last night (didn't have any unsliced weapons on me)... This can be really complicated or really not complicated, I guess.


I was thinking that I was going to say that if someone wants me to customize their armor, I'd do a 'full' basic customization (all four types, no components) for 10K per item... just because it takes longer to do. Then maybe if they have component customizations that they want to do, 10K per customization... assuming they provide the components, of course.


But then, I know people will say that I'm undercutting fellow smugglers... but these prices are assuming that I don't have to provide any components. I don't know what the component costs are going to be yet, when I do, the going retail cost of the component will be tagged onto the customization price.
