Smuggler Archive

get buffed, buy some brandy, get the best kinetic resist armor you can find, and go to Dathomir or Dantooine. I tried doing giant baz niches for a while, and although you can kill them and make more money per mission, the best exp for the effort seems to be quenkers or savage quenkers on dantooine. Run the missions from a player city so that you do not have to go far for them, and you can make all the pistol exp you need in a couple days.

First of all pick up pistoleer, once you get novice pistoleer you will get healthshot2, and that is the best thing to spam until you get fanshot (or LD) DF alone isn't that great because we don't get any accuracy or speed bumps to our pistol skill, even though we near 2 million pistol xp. Hopefully soon when the smuggler revamp comes along (not holding my breath here) we will drop our need for so much pistol xp and move towards some SMUGGLING xp.

Have to disagree with the last statement. Healthshot1 deal more damage in the same amount of time because it's faster.

Go to http://killyourpc.org/swg/swg_dps.php

to find what special will deal the most damage for a specific weapon.

Endor-Crazed Gurrecks. All I use to level regardless of the profession. That and you can sell the hide easily(master level arch furniture requires it.)

Get Novice Pistoleer. Getting the Techniques line wouldn't hurt either, to get good specials for getting better xp in hunts.

Toss in another vote for quenkers on Dantooine. They got me through Master Pistoleer and the Dirty Fighting line twice. Most of that was with no buffs and no food/drink.

What? Bah. Get buffed, get some brandy, take a TKA or swordsman orfencer or pikeman up to the geo caveswith you. You can earn 900k pistol exp in a few hours.

Ok, Im on the slow grind up the smuggler ladder. I have slicing 4 and underworld 2 and am working quite nicely on my spices.

Trouble is I reckon I need about 2mil xp to reach master smuggler! Any suggestions on how to make this a little quicker/less of a grind?

I cant take pistoleer cos I dont have enough skillpoints for that. Something to do with my love of BIG GUNS! I do have a pre patch Republic Blaster that I can still use. (Of course accidentally destroying my faithful old one didnt really help!) But I am making very slow progress.

Any suggestions?

P.S Aint it about time WE had our own pistol certification? After all we are very heavy on the pistol xp?
