Ok, I'm a relative newbie and decided I wanted to go for smuggler yesterday. Since my decision, I've heard/ read that I only have to master the pistols branch and unarmed branch of their respective professions. I've also heard/read that I have to master all branched of marksman and brawler. So, from someone who's already gotten to the smuggler rank, which is true??

you only have to master the unarmed and pistols trees.

but a small tip from me....

get pistoleer as well, you'll have a hard time gaining pistol xp with just smuggler

Dude, that rocks! That'll save me so much time...I only get to play on weekends and after 7 on weekdays...work, ick. But I was looking at the Smuggler skill tree, and nowhere does a skill require unarmed XP, it's all pistol or slicing. So why bother having us master unarmed?

I don't want to discourage you too much, but you should know ahead of time that aside from slicing for people (whether or freinds or for money) there is VERY LITTLE to do as a smuggler. Making and selling spice isn't profitable (was it ever?). Underworld doesn't do much unless you are huge on PVP/Faction. Master gets you NOTHING. Dirty Fighting gets you some really good pistol specials, and slicing CAN make you money... but there are no Smuggler missions. I mean really, there's no smuggling. It sounds awesome on paper, but SOE hasn't implemented anything really regarding smuggling since... well... ever. Even though the Profession has been around since launch, they didn't bother to put much in it to make it fun. Smuggling MIGHT be fun around... what guys, March 2005?

Have a good one. =)

That's ok, I'm gonna use the spices on myself, and slice the weapons as all the other smugglers I see do. Maybe put a few on a vendor, along with the spices, just to see if anyone wants to buy.
