Smuggler Archive

The new slicing tools are LOOT. We do NOT know ALL of what the drop from, but we do know they drop in space AND on the ground. The best tools drop from the toughest mobs. The loot rates WILL be adjusted. The looted tools can also be salvaged from AUK's and WUK's, though currently not from crated kits, only uncrated.
(WUKs and AUKs pulled from crates last night APPARENTLY do not work either, nor do UKs of any kind that were stored uncrated in a bank)

Laser Knives and Clamps, as well as FANs (not like anyone used FANs anyway ) are USELESS. they don't convert.

There is no set fee for slicing. It's whatever a given smuggler wants to charge.

previously sliced items cannot be resliced.

The last know percentages and stats for slicing AND THE TOOLS REQUIRED FOR EACH LEVEL AND TYPE OF SLICING can be found HERE

The WORTH of these items seems to be maxing at around 500, usually more like 100k or so, on most severs. Some servers seem to have some crazy multi-million credit auctions for them, don't expect that to last.

You CAN slice a weapon with an ADK already applied to it, with no ill effects.





ANY other questions, post them as REPLIES to this, the board is getting messy with redundant posts.

thank you.

what about recently uncrated wuk/auk's? If i log in tonight, pull stuff from the crates, will I be able to convert them? Or are the crates hosed?

Well considering the patch is going up right now your kinda screwed.

just to clarify: previously sliced items cant be further sliced at all? or just cannot be resliced at lower levels?

early on in testing there were some rumors of previously sliced items being sliced for speed still, but the general concensus is, no, the item cannot be sliced at all, in any way.

I didn't look through all 4 pages of that thread, but the first post (which is probably all that latecomers will look at) is outdated.

The percentages have been tweaked since then (ie, the highest critical shot chance is now 10%, not 3%).

And it doesn't list the loot components required for the different level slices.

I had 5 weapons in my inventory.

• 1 Unsliced Featherweight FWG5


• 3 Sliced Weapons


• 1 Sliced Pre-Nerf FWG5

Here are more recent numbers I copied and pasted last week from someone who reported off TC.

ThoughI can't find the original post, I think it was Red Dwarf who posted them originally, so thank him. And if it wasn't him, than thank whoever it was.

Type / Level / Loot Component Required / Boost% / Customization%

Speed/1/None/2/20
Speed/2/Simple Toolkit/4/25
Speed/3/Finely crafted Toolkit/7/25
Speed/4/Delicate Trigger Assembly(that's the one GM says is a DWB/Avatar drop)/12/30

Damage/1/None/2/20
Damage/2/Simple Toolkit/4/20
Damage/3/Illegal Core Booster/8/20

Crit chance/1/Simple Toolkit/3/20
Crit chance/2/Finely crafted toolkit/5/40
Crit chance/3/Delicate Trigger Assembly/10/40

Now, who wants to do some math and figure out all the different combinations to maximize the customization point costs?

What are they doin I have 2 accounts MWS/Martisan/MMerch on one and Msmugg/MBH on the other. I have a vendor that is full of crated Clamps, knifes, and WUK as well as AUK that i had a AS friend schem for me. Are these now worthless ? This is not right if this is the case. SOE if your gona scrap them dont you think we deserve some compensation ? This is an atrocity. But I guess i could expect such from you guys you are effectively nerfing the entire crafting part of this game. First CU or i should say CN CombatNerf now this. You guys need some schooling on Coustomer service and satisfaction.

Ok quick question. Does anyone know which high end loots are for which armor slice? I salvaged a trandsosian interframe, shock padding, and power motivator and wanted to know without wasting a simple and fine toolkit to find out.

So, is there a fix in the works to be able to salvage crated WUK's and AUK's? Or is this just another corn-holing we get for staying the course and believeing that Smuggler will at some point become a viable, workingprofession?
