IF you are doing this for a holo :

Dont use an mol clamps as they slow you down

grind with one tool at a time, overt impin kor vella overt reb in bestine

dont buy knives make them yourself , you use a struckture tool for it, it it doesnt work, you'r bugged log out untill JTL

Ok hologrinders stop reading here .......................................................................................................................................do not cross the line

If you are not doing this for a holo

- Buy mol clamps and use them when slicing , remember to read the text after you apply them.

- Slice containers untill slicing 2, then have a friend make you about 300 survival knives and 300 wuk's and get 300 clamps or just get extra survival knives for failed slices

- For spices get 3 crafting tools and grind shadowpaw until spices 3, then change to thrusterhead

- Dont buy containers as you will be messing up the path for smugglers coming after you

ok, i just grinded spices all the way through 4 and got my slice 1.

This is how i did itwith fellow smuggler instruction)

i went to Coronet starport in Corellia. I made a macro that said "i will slice your containers for free or buy them from you, please send tell, im making spices"

In just a couple hours i had bought a few containers sliced some for free and was givin about 5 for free. Inbetween that i was grinding spices. I got my spice 4 and slice 1. There were plenty of Smugglers running around there for training. And with spices...i found no XP cap. I had enough xp for Spice 3 before i got trained. Oh ya when grinding spice use Shadowpaw...it only takes metal and organinc. Being a scout...i had plenty of organic...and i bought a crate of 3k copper. Make sure you have clamps for a 100% success rate (at least i did) and make your own knives. I even got lucky and found a blue crystal on my first slice...sold it for 500k...i was happy...lol. Now for the hard part............

IF you buy containers you help support a belief among non smugglers that we should pay to unlock they're containers, especially buy them at 5k+, in doing this you support a system that gauge new smugglers. No profession should rely soley on loot items to level up, and untill hte devs either increase hte container drop rate or make terminals sliceble ar novice the gauging will continue. When i did this i made a macro that said : Slicing containers for free with 100% sucess rate. i got slicing 1 and 2 within 3 hours of spamming this in coronet

I dont mind buying them if i have a chance to find another crystal. Majority of the ones i bought were for 1k. And look at it like this, if they charge me high i take names. They may need a slice sometime on a weopon or armor....I'll get em back. You have to spend money to make money...lol

I agree that it isn't exactly ideal to rely on looted items in order to level up. Especially when all drops have been reduced as drastically as they have been. I would never pay to open a container for someone else, but I would buy the container from them if reasonably priced. I only wish I hadn't deleted the two dozen or so that I used to have in my house *shrug*. What can you do.

I was suprised at the support i had doing the slicing. One guy said "i've been there done that" and gave me 6 containers...for free...I /tip his bank due to his generosity.

Bummer you deleted your containers.../comfort...lol

I'm going to take the advice on slicing containers till slicing 2. Slicing a terminal just doesn't provide the xp...lol.

I'm going the Artisan Engineering route through to Gunsmith, as well as up to Buisnesswoman.I was hoping spices would give the xp for general crafting and i was bummed it didnt. Now i need t find a fast grind for general crafting xp cuz each item seems to have its own xp output...lol

I think most master smugglers have sympathy for novices working on slicing. I usually refuse to open containers for people and also save all containers for novice smugglers.

You might want to try mixing it up a bit wit. When I mastered the first time, I didn't have much money and had to keep running missions to make money (as well as to get pistol xp) and just sliced the terminal every time I got a mission and while I was waiting for shuttles. I just didn't use clamps on terminals because the clamps were expensive, and it wasn't such a big deal if I goofed.

Great Idea...both on containers and slicing terminals. Can we slice shuttle terminals?? Or are e limited to just mission terminals??

Just missions. I always found a mission terminal close enough to a shuttleport that I could watch for the shuttle.

ohh ok got ya.

Now how do i put the message i'm replying to in m message with the nifty white box like everyone else...lol

Right above the box where you type your response, there's a picture of a cartoon quote box if you're using IE or a button that says "Quote Post" if you're using Opera.
